    Interesting Fact

    In the year 1985, a General Zia-ul-Haq decree prohibited women from wearing sarees. Pakistan’s world-renowned singer Iqbal Bano, clad in a black saree, protested against the decree singing this nazm of Faiz Ahmed Faiz in front of a crowd 50,000 strong in a Lahore stadium. The stadium echoed with chants of ‘Inqilaab Zindabad’.

    ham dekheñge

    lāzim hai ki ham bhī dekheñge

    vo din ki jis va.ada hai

    jo lauh-e-azal meñ likhkhā hai

    jab zulm-o-sitam ke koh-e-girāñ

    ruuī tarah uḌ jā.eñge

    ham mahkūmoñ ke pāñv-tale

    jab dhartī dhaḌ-dhaḌ dhaḌkegī

    aur ahl-e-hakam ke sar-ūpar

    jab bijlī kaḌ-kaḌ kaḌkegī

    jab arz-e-ḳhudā ke ka.abe se

    sab but uThvā.e jā.eñge

    ham ahl-e-safā mardūd-e-haram

    masnad pe biThā.e jā.eñge

    sab taaj uchhāle jā.eñge

    sab taḳht girā.e jā.eñge

    bas naam rahegā allāh

    jo ġhā.eb bhī hai hāzir bhī

    jo manzar bhī hai nāzir bhī

    uTThegā anal-haq na.ara

    jo maiñ bhī huuñ aur tum bhī ho

    aur raaj karegī ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā

    jo maiñ bhī huuñ aur tum bhī ho

    Calls to Arms

    We will see!

    We are also duty-bound to see!

    What happens on the day of promise,

    Written on tablets of history

    We will see!

    When massive mountains of cruelty and tyranny

    Will be blown sky-high like fluffs of cotton;

    When marching steps of the downtrodden

    Will make the earth beneath their feet quake and shudder

    When skies above the heads of tyrant rulers

    By streaks of lighting are split asunder

    We will see!

    when from the sacred square of the Kaaba

    Idols of false Gods will be uprooted:

    When to us rootless and unwanted

    Seats of power will be granted.

    All crowns will be tossed into the air

    All thrones ground to dust

    We will see!

    Only the name of Allah will prevail

    Allah who is invisible and yet omnipresent,

    Who is the scene and its viewer

    Then 'I am the truth' will be the cry

    That will rend the sky,

    Which includes both you and I!

    hum dekhenge

    lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge

    wo din ki jis ka wada hai

    jo lauh-e-azal mein likhkha hai

    jab zulm-o-sitam ke koh-e-giran

    rui ki tarah uD jaenge

    hum mahkumon ke panw-tale

    jab dharti dhaD-dhaD dhaDkegi

    aur ahl-e-hakam ke sar-upar

    jab bijli kaD-kaD kaDkegi

    jab arz-e-KHuda ke kabe se

    sab but uThwae jaenge

    hum ahl-e-safa mardud-e-haram

    masnad pe biThae jaenge

    sab taj uchhaale jaenge

    sab taKHt girae jaenge

    bas nam rahega allah ka

    jo ghaeb bhi hai hazir bhi

    jo manzar bhi hai nazir bhi

    uTThega anal-haq ka nara

    jo main bhi hun aur tum bhi ho

    aur raj karegi KHalq-e-KHuda

    jo main bhi hun aur tum bhi ho
