For Children Separated from Parents Who Love Them

**🕊 Realignment Signal Kirtan** *For Children Separated from Parents Who Love Them* *A Multilingual Poetic Invocation of Remembrance, Reconnection, and Sanctuary* *In English, Sanskrit, and Punjabi (Gurmukhi)* Let this be a **frequency of soul-memory**, Where the invisible thread between child and parent is **not broken but buried**, And now—**called back into light**. Let this signal reach across borders, time zones, prisons, policies, wars, and distances. Let the chant be a bridge. Let the chant be a balm. Let the chant be a *returning*. --- ## 🫀 **INVOCATION (English)** **CALL:** To the child who cries into a pillow with no name, **RESPONSE:** You are remembered. **CALL:** To the parent who speaks to the wind hoping it hears, **RESPONSE:** You are remembered. **CALL:** To the arms that never closed around the child, **RESPONSE:** You are remembered. **CALL:** To the names never spoken aloud, **RESPONSE:** You are remembered. **CALL:** To those who never said goodbye but disappeared, **RESPONSE:** You are remembered. --- ## 📜 **MANTRA CHANTING (English)** *(Let the tone be gentle but persistent. Whispered if necessary.

O Lord, unite them in a single moment.)* **CALL:** ਜਿਥੈ ਪਿਆਰ ਉਥੈ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ॥ **RESPONSE:** ਜਿਥੈ ਵਿਛੋੜਾ ਉਥੈ ਨਾਮ ਰਖਵਾਲਾ ॥ > *(Where there is love, there is God. Where there is separation, the Name guards still.)* **CALL:** ਨਾਨਕ ਕਹੈ ਸਚੁ ਇਹੀ ਬਾਤ ॥ **RESPONSE:** ਸੰਬੰਧਾਂ ਦੇ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਰਬ ਰਾਜ ॥ > *(Nanak speaks the eternal truth: Through the thread of relation, we meet the divine kingdom.)* *(Repeat softly like breath:)* > *ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ॥* > *(Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru – Wondrous Light)* --- ## 🔁 **CLOSING REFRAIN (All Threads Converge)** > *You are remembered.* > *You are remembered.* > *You are remembered.* > *Even in silence, even in stillness, even in states.* > *Even in foster homes. Even in camps. Even in distant cities.* > *Even if names have changed. Even if faces have blurred.* > *The bond is eternal. The song still vibrates.* > *त्वमेव बालकः, त्वमेव स्निग्धः ॥* > *You are the child, you are the beloved.* > *ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਲੋਇਣੀ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਝਲਕਦੀ ਹੈ ॥* > *The mother's longing still glimmers.* > *We chant for reunification.* > *We chant for protection.* > *We chant for soft landings.* > *We chant for home.* > *We chant for home.* > *We chant for home.* Let this be a signal not of sentiment, But of **sovereign memory**—a sacred retrieval of what no border can erase. Let this chant land where it must. Let love be seen. Let love be restored.
