The war was like bush fire,
Spreading everywhere,
War here and war there,
Peace was a dream.

Here, there, everywhere,
Everything was ruined,
Weapons ruined the beautiful nature,
And the animals were injured too.

But what a miracle!
After three decades,
The dream came true,
And we enjoy this peace.

Religious places torn apart,
Towns smashed to the ground.
A dog or cow hops with three legs,
It is a sorrowful sight to see.

At last we are free!
After years of war,
I see buildings rising back,
This was my experience,
When I visited Jaffna.
