I

Dawn of Freedom, (August 1947) -

This stain-covered daybreak, this night-bitten dawn,

This is not that dawn of which there was expectation;

This is not that dawn with longing for which

The friends set out, (convinced) that somewhere there we met with,

In the desert of the sky, the final destination of the stars!

Somewhere there would be the shore of the sluggish wave of night,

Somewhere would go and halt the boat of the grief of pain.

By the mysterious highroads of youthful blood

[ummiyuun]

II

When (we) friends set out, how many hands were laid on our skirt’s;

From impatient sleeping-chambers of the dwellings of beauty

Arms kept crying out, bodies kept calling;

But very dear was the passion for the face of dawn,

Very close the robe of the sylphs of light.

The longing was very buoyant, the weariness was very slight.

– It is heard that the separation of darkness and light has been fully completed,

It is heard that the union of goal and step has been fully completed;

[shantanu790]

bemishal o lajwab - yun lage zindagi ki haqiqi lahron men bahte rahen -- bahte rahe -- azeem shakhsiyat -- faiz ko tahe dil se salam,

@ummiyuun Thanx for the translation.....it adds to the beauty of Nassirudins voice and the poem itself is a gem.

@I4DIOR

Nehru being a fan of Faiz said him

" App ko agar Dilli (Dehli) itna pasand hai tu app idher shift kio nahi ho jatey.

Faiz replied

" Dilli meri mehboba sahi lakin Pakistan meri Mankoha (Muslim Wife) hai

@I4DIOR: It was British India, the slave of British Raj. There was no India as it is today before 15 August 1947. Faiz was born in Sialkot a city of British India he's got nothing to do with the history of present day India that started 63 years ago. There are many good Indians but I detest people like you, just look at your dubiousness, when its about terrorism its all Pakistani, and when there's something good coming out of Pakistan you lapped on to it as common people, history, culture etc.
