Hail To Democracy, We are again Puppets.. and We are Happy...
His Words_______
chashm-e-nam, jaan-e-shoreeda kaafi naheeN
tohmat-e-ishq-e-posheeda kaafi naheeN aaj baazaar meiN pa-bajolaaN chalo dast afshaaN chalo, mast-o-raqsaaN chalo
khaak bar~sar chalo, khooN ba~damaaN chalo raah takta hai sab shaihr-e-janaaN chalo haakim-e-shaihr bhi, majma’-e-aa’m bhi
teer-e-ilzaam bhi, saNg-e-dushnaam bhi subh-e-nashaad bhi, roz-e-nakaam bhi in ka damsaaz apne siva kaun hai

phir hameeN qatl ho aayeN yaaro, chalo! Translation______ Wet eyes and a crazed will are not enough;
Nor are accusations of a furtive love; Stride in the bazaar today, shackles on your feet. Stride with arms spread open and in wild abandon; Stride with dust-covered hair and blood-stained shirt; Stride, all the beloved city watches the road. The official and the commoner; Arrows of slander and stones of insult. Sad mornings and barren days; Who but we can be their companion? Who in the beloved town remains free of guilt? Who remains worthy of the killer's hand? Broken-hearted ones, prepare to leave; Let us stride to meet our death today.

You enjoy the moment because you are sad. you never forget the instances when you are forlorn and with your one. Rest of it is desperation." |
