Sarmust - Return to Ambala (Acoustic Demo) 2009

Lyrics:

two lovers held their hands
stretched across a border made by man…
some day i’ll go and see that haunted tree
the one in my grandfather’s havali
the one i never got to see
decades before me they were forced to flee
now generations wander aimlessly
in search of freedoms that they never had
blindfolded by the colours of their separate flags

they call it partition it’s more like separation

we could blame the east india company
tell them how nawabs became their coolies
we could blame tyranny and poverty
unless we forgive, none shall be free

they call it partition it’s more like separation

this story is not mine alone
millions of people can never return home
because home’s a place they’ve never known

they call it partition it’s more like separation

one day punjab will reunite
the holy land will reunite
pashtunistan will reunite
afghanistan will reunite
sindh will reunite
kashmir will reunite
bengal will reunite

return to ambala…
