farman-e-KHuda

uttho meri duniya ke gharibon ko jaga do
kakh-e-umra ke dar o diwar hila do
garmao ghulamon ka lahu soz-e-yaqin se
kunjishk-e-faromaya ko shahin se lada do


sulatani-e-jamhur ka aata hai zamana
jo naqsh-e-kuhan tum ko nazar aae mita do
jis khet se dahqan ko mayassar nahin rozi
us khet ke har khosha-e-gandum ko jala do


kyun khaliq o makhluq mein hail rahen parde
piran-e-kalisa ko kalisa se utha do
haq ra ba-sajude sanaman ra ba-tawafe
behtar hai charagh-e-haram-o-dair bujha do


main na-khush o be-zar hun marmar ki silon se
mere liye mitti ka haram aur bana do
tahzib-e-nawi kargah-e-shishagaran hai
aadab-e-junun shair-e-mashriq ko sikha do


heavenly ordinance
rise and get the poor of my world ready for battle
shake the mansions of the rich
till their doors and walls rattle.


with conviction of victory the blood of the poor ignite
get the timid sparrow to take on the falcon in a fight.
comes a time for the masses to rule for sure
rub out what is now too old and obscure



land that does not yield enough for the tiller to eat
burn every inch of that field
set fire to every stalk of wheat.


why these curtains between the sustainer and those that he sustains?
throw out those old godmen from the house of god
let not
one remain!
