When was the last time?

Tell me
When was the last time 
You called your Mom,
Ask me not 
The story will be sad and Long. 

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You slept in the house you own, 
Ask me not 
I have the same sad story. 

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You had a meal with your family, 
Ask me not 
The story will be long and bitter.  

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You saw your Parents, 
Ask me not 
The story will be sad and Tearful.

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You correctly count your siblings by their names, 
Ask me not 
I lost their count so shamefully.

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You hugged your grandma, 
Ask me not 
She was murdered long before my birth. 

Tell me 
When was the last time
You prayed for our martyrs, 
Ask me not 
It pains me every day.

Tell me 
When was the last time 
You thought about an independent homeland, 
Ask me not 
It keeps me awake all the time. 

Tell me
When was the last time?
You thought about riding horses and crossing hills of the Himalayas, 
Ask me not 
I dream about the same so often.
