Sher on Inquilab

Revolution is the ultimate

stage after dissatisfaction, protest, and rebellion. It concerns all human societies. All poets in all languages have pondered and philosophized over the idea and experience of revolution. Urdu poets have also written copiously on this. Here are some examples for you to read and assess their thematic and literary worth.

ham amn chāhte haiñ magar zulm ke ḳhilāf

gar jañg lāzmī hai to phir jañg sahī

hum amn chahte hain magar zulm ke KHilaf

gar jang lazmi hai to phir jang hi sahi

ham parvarish-e-lauh-o-qalam karte raheñge

jo dil pe guzartī hai raqam karte raheñge

We will nourish the pen and tablet; we will tend them ever

We will write what the heart suffers; we will defend them ever

hum parwarish-e-lauh-o-qalam karte rahenge

jo dil pe guzarti hai raqam karte rahenge

We will nourish the pen and tablet; we will tend them ever

We will write what the heart suffers; we will defend them ever
