Migration, A difficult decision:
The partition of the subcontinent in August 1947 created a storm of pain and suffering unparalleled in recent world history. The situation in Punjab was particularly unpredictable where Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims lived together for centuries and spoke the same language but now Muslims were migrating towards Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs towards India.

We are refugees but we have left a world
We have left as much as you have
Every river flowing from the Himalayas made a sound
Mian, let's perform Ablution
We didn't have a relationship, yes we did
Those who have left "Lakshmi", those who have left "Dargah"
The ministry will also be less for us
We have left the snack in our mother's hands
