...indeed this is cool! ur responsed, reactions, ravs and rantings welcoom! u must speak out whatever u have too... lemme start wid Faiz's 'Bol'...
bol ki lab aazaad heiN tere /bol zabaaN ab tak terii hai /teraa sutawaaN jism hai teraa / bol ki jaaN ab tak terii hai
dekh ke aahangar kii dukaaN meiN / tund heiN shole surKh hai aahan / khulane lage quffaloN ke dahaane / phailaa har ek zanjiir kaa daaman /bol ye thoRaa waqt bohat hai / jism-o-zubaaN kii maut se pahale / bol ki sach zindaa hai ab tak /
bol jo kuchh kahane hai kah le --Faiz Ahmed Faiz
[sutawaaN=well built; aahangar=blacksmith; tund=sharp (here it means bright);] [aahan=iron; quffaloN ke dahaane=Jaw o the lock]
Speak
Speak, your lips are free. /Speak, it is your own tongue. /Speak, it is your own body./ Speak, your life is still yours.
See how in the blacksmith's shop / The flame burns wild, the iron glows red; / The locks open their jaws, / And every chain begins to break.
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.
