बोल
बोल, के लभ आज़ाद हैं तेरे
बोल, ज़ुबान अब तक तेरी है
तेरा सुतवान जिस्म है तेरा
बोल, के जान अब तक तेरी है
देख, के तेरे आहंगर की दुकान में
टुंड है शोले, सुर्ख है आहन
खुलने लगे क़ुफ़्लों के दहाने
फैला हर एक ज़ंजीर का दामन
बोल, यह थोड़ा वक़्त बहुत है
जिस्म-ओ-ज़ुबान की मौत से पहले
बोल, के सच ज़िंदा है अब तक
बोल, जो कुछ कहना है कह-ले!
-फ़ैज़
Translation-
Speak out!
Your words are free.
Speak up!
Your tongue is still your own.
Your body remains yours
ramrod, erect.
Speak out!
Your life is still your own.
Look!
How in your smithy's forge
flames soar;
iron glows red.
How the locks
have opened yaws
and every chain
spreads out, unlinked.
The short time left to you
is still enough. Speak up!
Before the body
and its tongue give out.
Speak out!
For truth still survives
Speak out!
Say whatever you have to say!
