Kashmir day is also known as “Kashmir Solidarity Day” in Pakistan. In 1990, the Chief Minister of Punjab Nawaz Sharif called the political and religious parties to celebrate 5th February as Solidarity Day with the Kashmiris.
So, for the first time, the Kashmir day was celebrated on 5th Feb in 1990. He appealed the people to protest against India that has occupied a big part of Kashmir and does not let the Kashmiris live in the peaceful state.
So, the appeal was followed by the Pakistanis, and there were rallies, protest processions, speeches and prayers for the Kashmiri freedom movement across the land. The ruling party declared the day as a “Public Holiday” at that time.
The day is recognized on the international level. Now, every year on 5th Feb, Pakistanis celebrates Kashmir Day to support their Kashmiri Brethren in their struggle against the atrocities of Indian.
The people living in occupied Kashmir have been making efforts to breathe in the free air for the last seven decades. The Indian armed forces interrupt their freedom and have occupied their lands forcefully. They are struggling to set their country free and to live with freedom from India. Pakistanis support their aim, and they stand united with the Kashmiri people against India.
It is equally important for political parties and religious parties in Pakistan and Azad Jammu Kashmir. The political and religious parties in both the lands organize rallies, processions, conferences, and seminars to show their devotion towards their Kashmiri Brethren.
Kashmir Day Poetry
The leaders and spokespersons of the parties make speeches to show their unity and devotion towards Kashmir and Kashmiri people. The people of Pakistan make the freedom movement of Kashmiris strengthened against Indian occupation. Kashmiris hate Indian occupation on their lands, and they are making struggle and sacrificing their lives to set their country free out of the foreign occupation. The Kashmiris want to live a free life and India wants to keep Kashmir as an Indian territory forcibly. However, Pakistan supports Kashmiri people and their freedom to live as an independent state.
Initially, the Kashmir Solidarity day was observed in Pakistan. Now it has been observed on international levels. Pakistanis wherever they are, celebrate this day to show solidarity and devotion towards Kashmiris. For this purpose, the poets from various parts of the world write heart touching poems. The poems also show how much passionate love they are bearing in their hearts for Kashmir. Here, I am going to give a few examples of the poetry on Kashmir day. The poets from Pakistan, Kashmir and even from other countries have written about the freedom of Kashmir to make the world aware of the unjust and forceful occupation of India over Kashmir. Some poems are in Urdu while others are in English. Find them below.
Poem: FREE KASHMIR
Bodies all dusted.
Choices all busted.
Voices all gusted.
Rights all rusted.
The schools like barracks.
The play fields like Graveyards.
Buried all freedom lied in the backyards.
Speaking a word here brings you thousand hazards.
Calling themselves doves are all Jeopard’s.
with due regards to all nationalistic retards.
I want to say that Free Kashmir is on the cards.

Kashmir is Bleeding
Kashmir is bleeding,
Kashmiris are bleeding,
Bodies are bleeding,
Hearts are bleeding,
blood dipping from veins,
blood dipping from arteries,
some people are celebrating,
blood parties,
soil is red, rivers are red,
kashmiris are knot with blood thread,
every color is replaced with red,
every soul is forced dead,
sometimes you see headless, bodies,
sometimes you see bodies, headless,
people of Kashmir are peace less, restless,
Bullets and shells is the game of forces,
youths are taught, jail courses,
Eyes are blinded, legs are broken,
mothers are left, unspoken,
Kashmir is receiving rain of tears,
the world enjoys, no one cares,
Kashmir is a story of children less parent, parent less children,
unknown graves, land of martyr’s,
half widows and full widows,
disappearances and PSA’s,
custodial killings and killing at doors,
Kashmiri’s are kept under wicked veil,
so that their pains, no one feel,
The stream of blood is kept flowing,
Kashmiri’s are forced to keep roaring,
when will this blood shedding come to an end, o! world?
when will we live fearless, and bold?
Poem: Kashmir is Burning
Koi awaz ab uthaye ki kashmir jal raha hai
Koi insaf ab dilaye ki kashmir jal raha hai
Har fard hai pareshan, bechain o dil shikasta
Koi marham inhein lagaye ki kashmir jal raha hai
Maon ki goad suni, har baap tadap raha hai
Koi inki sunle haye ki kashmir jal eaha hai
Zalim hai sena tane, mazloom hai besahara
Koi zulm ab mitaye ki kashmir jal raha hai
Din mai bhi hai andhera, khurshed bhi hai benoor
Koi shamma banke aaye ki kashmir jal raha hai
Poem: Kashmiri Woman
No one knows her here by her name,
the one who is sitting mum
there on a wooden log,
the woman whose son was slaughtered
with a chainsaw,
is the only identity she has
in this refugee camp.
Poem: Kashmiri Family
The night they fled,
leaving behind their village, home, hearth
and half-cooked bread on the stove,
who had come to see them
a night before that night?
And why didn’t they open their windows
and door, for anyone after that?
Even before they could tell us,
why they had not been able to look
into the eyes of their daughters
ever since then…
a *Chinar falls,
making a creaking sound,
they could never tell us all,
what they really wanted to…!
Poem: Kashmir
They have in their memories
their home, and the only flower
blooming in their backyard,
and a cot left outside,
soaking in the pouring rain,
the night they fled.
They have in their memories,
their dialogues, laughter,
and sweet sun,
and everything else,
they could not bring along,
with themselves,
and their little ones,
who did not return home,
after they went to play,
soon after the day,
when snow in the valley
had melted away!
Poem: Kashmiri Hates India
They set off explosives in their roots,
and separated them from their lands,
I wonder, what did they whisper in their ears,
and separated them from their lands?
The snow storms hit the valley, striking Chinars,
where would the fallen Chinars go now?
They will dry up, and set ablaze,
we all know that,
we all know, that their ashes
would still like to return
but to their valleys only.

Kashmir Day History
Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed officially in Pakistan on 5th Feb every year. The first time, it was observed in 1975 when the President of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto declared that there would be a nationwide strike on 5th Feb to show devotion for Kashmir resolution. Later, In 1990, Qazi Hussain Ahmad suggested the ruling party of Pakistan to announce 5th Feb as a Solidarity Day to Kashmiri people. The then Chief Minister of Punjab, Nawaz Sharif declared 5th Feb as a public holiday to show the solidarity towards Kashmiri people. The question arises that what happened at that time that the CM Punjab announced this day as a solidarity day? Let me explain. In 1990, the Indian Government appointed a new governor of Occupied Kashmir to Gug Mohan. Kashmiris protested against this decision, and they boycotted the new governor to show the world the true face of India. It was a historic protest when the Indian forces brutally martyred a large number of Kashmiri people. The aroma of their blood was prevailing in the entire Kashmir valley. They were tortured by the Indian forces brutally for protesting against the Indian government. However, no cruelty could make them retreated from their resolution. So, 5th Feb was declared a solidarity day in Pakistan by the then CM Punjab.
So, It has been a part of Pakistan public holidays since 1990. It is not observed as a public holiday, however. The people belonging to different walks of life organize various speech and post competitions to show the world how Kashmiris are struggling against the foreign occupation. The people in Pakistan show their support to Kashmiris in their struggle against Indian armed forces.
