Stanza

Urdu

Maata-e-loh-o-qalam chin gayi to kya ghum hai

K khun-e-dil men dubo li hain ungliyan mene

Zuban pe muhar lagi hai to kya ke rakh di hai

Har ek halqa-e-zanjeer men zubaan mene

English Translation

If they snatch my ink and pen,

I should not complain,

For I have dipped my fingers

In the blood of my heart.

I should not complain

Even if they seal my tongue,

For every ring of my chain

Is a tongue ready to speak.
