Aiye hath uthaen hum bhi prayer by Faiz Ahmad Faiz

                                        
  Happy birthday to the great poet as well as person
                             Faiz Ahmad Faiz(13 Feb.)

                                                Aiye hath uthaen hum bhi

Hum jinhay rasm e dua yaad nahi
Hum jinhay soz e muhabbat k siwa
Koi butt koi khuda yaad nahi

Come! Let us, too, raise our hands in prayer ,

We –those who’ve banished to ‘oblivion realm’ the ritual of prayer

We- who except the scorching blaze of love,

Recognise no idol, no Divine being do we prefer!

Aiye arz guzarain ki nigaar e hasti

Zehr-e-amroz main shirni e farad bhar de
wo jinhay tab-e-garaan baari e ayaam nahi
un ki palkon pe shab-o-roz ko halka kar de

Come, let us too supplicate that the ‘Existence Savior’

May instill in today’s bitter venom tomorrow’s luscious rapture,

The strength to bear the onerous times-those who cannot conjure,

remove from their eyes the affliction of arduous ‘day and night’

andmake their burden lighter!

Jin Ki Ankhon Ko Rukh e Subh Ka Yara bhi Nahi
Un Ki Raaton Main Koi Shamma Munawar Kar Dain
Jin K Qadmon Ko Kisi Rah Ka Sahara BhiNahi
Un Ki NazronPe Koi Raah Ujagar Kar Dain

They-whose eyes lie bereft of the strength to glimpse the face of ‘dawn-azure’

May it illumine the black crevices of their nights with a candle or two,

They- whose strides lie orphaned of the comfort of accruing any road’s pleasure,

May it dawn upon their lost feet the comfort of a road or two!

Jin Ka Deen Pairavi e Kazb o Riya Hai un Ko
Himmat e kufr milay,Jurrat e Tehqiq Milay
Jin Kay Sar Muntazir e Tegh e Jafa Hain Un Ko
Dast E Qatil Jhatak Denay Ki Taufiq Milay

Those - whose deities lay in falsity and deceit, may they

Be bestowed with the impudence of infidelity, the audacity to seek!

Those – whose heads await the sabre of tyranny, may they

Be bestowed with the inspiration to ward off the tyrant’s hand oblique!!
