From the land of Sohni, Sassi and Heer.
From the land of Marvi the saint, who added another dimension to love.
From the land where Mira Bai sang in the streets of Vrinda Ban,

(cont'd)

From the land that was honoured by Waris Shah, Bullhay Shah,
From the land where Sarmad Shaheed and Dara Shikoh wrote the story of their devotion with their blood,
From the land of Rehman Baba and Ghani Khan,
From the land of Khushal Khan Khattak and Sadhu Nenuram,

From the land of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai
From the land of Bhagat Singh Shaheed
From the land of Ram and Sita,
From the land of Draupadi,
From the land of SahibaaN
From the land of Ghalib, Faiz, Faraz
And
From the land of Asma Jahangir @Asma_Jahangir and Sabeen Mehmud,

Here I am to wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day!

Love is not alien to my land, you losers.
