poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Bol, ki lab aazad hain tere
Bol, zaban ab tak teri hai
Tera sutwan jism hai tera
Bol, ki jaan ab tak teri hai...
Bol, ki thoda waqt bahut hai
Jism-o-zuban ki maut se pehle
Bol, ki sach zinda hai ab tak
Bol, jo kuch kehna hai kehle

Speak, your lips are free.
Speak, it is your own tongue.
Speak, it is your own body.
Speak, your life is still yours...
Speak, this brief hour is long enough
Before the death of body and tongue:
Speak, 'cause the truth is not dead yet,
Speak, speak, whatever you must speak
