Faiz Ahmed Faiz -"Har Chand is mein hath hamaray qalam hoaay"

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, 'cause the truth is not dead yet
Speak, speak, whatever you must speak.
