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.

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Loved a little, Worked a little…

Ku’ch Ishaq Ki’ya Ku’ch Kaam Ki’ya.

Who Log Bohat Khush Qismat Th’ay,

Jo Ishaq Ko Kam Samujhty Th’ay,

Ya Kam Say Aashqi Karty Th’ay,

Hum Jeety Jee Masroof Ra’hay,

Kuch Ishaq Kiya Kuch Kam Kiya,

Kam Ishaq Kay Aary Aata Ra’ha,

Or Ishaq Say Kam Uljh’ta Ra’ha,

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Some Lover To Some Beloved!

Down the memory lanes, on which

you've strolled since ages past

They will end if you walk farther a step or two

Where exits the turn towards the wilderness of forgetfulness

beyond which, there isn't any Me, nor any You

My eyes hold their breath, for any moment you

may turn back, move ahead, or at least turn to look back

Although my sight knows that the wish is just a farce

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

The Incarceration Of Loneliness

On the far horizon waved some flicker of light

My heart, a city of suffering, awoke in a state of dream

My eyes, turning restless, still dreaming,

the morning, dawning in this vacuous abode of separation

In the wine-cup of my heart, I poured my morning wine

Mixing in the bitterness of the past, the poison of the present

On the far horizon waved some flicker of light

far from the eye, a precursor to some morning

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Last Night

Last night your lost memory visited my heart

as spring visits the wilderness quietly,

as the breeze echoes the silence of her footfalls

in the desert,

as peace slowly, softly descends on one's sickness.

Loneliness

Someone is at the door again, my weeping heart, no, no one

Perhaps a passerby, who will go somewhere else

The night has passed, waiting, the star-dust is settling

Sleepy candle-flames are flickering in distant palaces

Every pathway has passed into sleep, tired of waiting

Alien dust has smudged all traces of footsteps

Blow out the candles, let the wine and cup flow

Close and lock your sleepless doors

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

"Dont ask me for the same love, my sweetheart"

Dont ask me for the same love, my sweetheart

I thought that life was radiant because of you

Why complain of worldly woes, once in your love-affliction

Your countenance brings eternity to the youth of spring

What else is there in the world but for the beauty of your eyes

If you were mine, my destiny would surrender to me

This was not so, only my wish for it to be

There are sufferings in the world other than the suffering of love

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

A Prison Evening

Each star a rung,

night comes down the spiral

staircase of the evening.

The breeze passes by so very close

as if someone just happened to speak of love.

In the courtyard,

the trees are absorbed refugees

embroidering maps of return on the sky.

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

My Heart, My Traveler with English Translation

Dil e man Musafir e man

Meray dil meray musafir

hua phir sey hukm sadir

k watan badar hon hum tum

dein gali gali sadain

karein rukh nagar nagar ka

ke suraagh koi paein

kisi yar e nama bar ka

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

When Autumn Came

This is the way that autumn came to the trees:

it stripped them down to the skin,

left their ebony bodies naked.

It shook out their hearts, the yellow leaves,

scattered them over the ground.

Anyone could trample them out of shape

undisturbed by a single moan of protest.

The birds that herald dreams

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Before You Came

Original Urdu

tum jo naa aa'e the to har chiiz vahii thii kih jo hai

aasmaaN hadd-e-nazar, raahguzar raahguzar, shiishaah-e-mai,

shiishaah-e-mai

aur ab shiishaah-e-mai, raahguzar, rang-e-falak

rang hai dil kaa mere, "khoon-e-jigar hone tak"

champaa'i rang kabhii, raahat-e-diidaar kaa rang

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Ghazal

I am being accused of loving you, that is all

It is not an insult, but a praise, that is all

My heart is pleased at the words of the accusers

O my dearest dear, they say your name, that is all

For what I am ridiculed, it is not a crime

My heart's useless playtime, a failed love, that is all

I haven't lost hope, but just a fight, that is all

The night of suffering lengthens, but just a night, that is all

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
