Will you come along?
My lyrics, my words
will you be with me?
will you come along?
conscience is a kindle
in the darkness of being
it shines, it whispers
silence is a crime!
my lyrics, my words
what else do I have?
but you, only you
you are all in all
my pen, my voice
my canvas, my plectrum
my tool, my weapon
if I wish to strike
on the wall of crime
on the fortress of power
will you be my hammer?
my chisel, my rope
will you come along?
Hiroshima was ashes
and now, it smiles
with fragrance of flowers
history is over
the lesson unlearned
if I wish to shout
the point we missed
will you be my voice?
my plectrum, my drum
will you come along?
moonlight is dying
in the eyes of hunger
roses are withering
bodies shriveling
fields are showered
with rain of cluster bombs
harvest is land mines
amputees stumble
on a road uneven
the path of inequity
crimes of power
vices of civility
the silence of rage
in the heart of Gaza
for the disgrace at check post
where body is searched
and soul ignored
anguish of a dad
coming out of rubble
with dead son in arms
and waiting outside
is the lament of a mum
dreams are flames
in the bonfire of time
night is young
music inviting
life is gathered
for a party, for a ball
they waited so long
since Socrates, since Mansoor
for a dance of defiance
my lyrics, my words
if I wish to stand up
will you hold my hands?
will you dance with me?
will you be with me?
will you come along?
Saath do gay mira?
mere alfaz tum,
saath do gay mira?
ye miri zindagi, mera lumha hay ye
mujh say kehta hay khamosh rehna nahin
or kya hay mere pass, tum hee tau ho
tum qalam, mo qalam, saz e izhar bhi
mera hathyar bhi, mere ozar bhi
mere alfaz tum,saath do gay mira?
hiroshima tha kul raakh or aaj wo
phool quryon say mehka hoa shehr hay
apni tareekh ki iss siyah raat say
hum nay seekha hay kya
mujh ko likhna hay ye
mujh ko likhna hay furd e hissab e hukum
zulm ki beraham dastan e alum
meray alfaz tum
saath do gay mira?
chand aankhon ki bujhti hoi roshni
phool bachon ki sookhi hoi hudian
bhook say bilbilati hoi bustian
pass zurkhaiz mitti ka chulni badan
jiss pay barish cluster bumon say hoi
jurm tehzib ka, land mines bichi
kitnay mazoor pairon ki baychargi
aik ghaza kay muzdoor ki baybussi
apnay ghar, apni dharti ko jatay hoay
check poston ki zilat say ghail ana
haath uthay hoay, sur jhukay hoay
baap mulbay say baher nikalta hoa
bazoon main liye, lash masoom ki
paon nungay hain, or bal kholay hoy
bain kerti hoi maan ki deewangi
shol e khwab hay waqt ki aag main
or allao kay charon tarruf zindagi
raat dhulnay ko hay, taal bhi tez hay
misl e suqrat o mansoor or surmedi
aik muddat hoi, such ko nachay hoay
aao nachain zara
saath do gay mira?
jiss ki awaz ho khunkhanati hoi
such wo bolain khara
soor phoonkain zara
meray alfaz tum
saath do gay mira?
