FREEDOM by Abdur Rehman Khan, translated by Abdur Rehman Khan

En-shackle all the  minds  with the chains of freedom
And  demolish  all   established  reasons  of  freedom

Snatch  all  their  rights and  forget  what they know
Fill  each and every  head with  speeches  of freedom

Draw on emotions give them slogans make them dance
Beat the drum vigorously rub the cymbals of freedom

Pluck their eyes, let them see; make them dream, then
Assure  the fulfillment of all  their dreams of freedom

Tell them to have no mercy; to go beyond every limit
And  with  blood  paint  all  the  pictures  of  freedom 

 

‘Azaadi’ (Urdu) by Abdur Rehman Khan, translated by Abdur Rehman Khan
