Mostly Indians and Pakistanis would kinda get it, but the video has some images of the survivors of the Tsunami hit areas.

A prayer/exhortation?

yeah... pleading to God, to have mercy. Plus the poet narrates his feelings on destruction and what he sees.

Its actually a much older poem, so I doubt its been written for the Tsunami victims, but Fuzon's a new band they must've redone it. The previous ooold version with this folk singer, Amanat Ali Khan singing it, had clips from the India/Pakistan conflicts.

I liked the words that are there in my sig.

Translated (loosely)

Would these disasters leave barren/desserted lands?
Would they turn these cities into graveyards?
There's destruction, wherever I go
Like villages submerged underwater
I can't bare to see this destruction
Please God, don't devastate these villages
Spare us. (<< that's what Baksh Deh literally means)
