We Will See…
And it’s certain that
We Will See…
The Day, Which Has Been Promised
Written, In the Eternal Tablet
We Will See…
The Tyrant Mountains of Injustice
Like Flakes of Cotton, Will Scatter In Vain
The Earth Will Shake
Under The Feet of Oppressed Folks
And The Thunder Will Rumble
On The Fortune of Tyrant Oppressors…
We Will See…
From the House of the Earth’s God,
All the Idols Will Be Discarded
We, the Pure, the Faithful-
Repulsed From the Holy Land,
Will Be Situated At Places High
The Crowns Will Be Thrashed
The Thrones- Smashed Down.
Only Allah’s Name Will Survive
Who Is Unseen, Yet Knows All
Who Is Present, and Sees All
The Roar “I Am Truth” Will Rise
Which I, Am. And You Are Too
And God’s People Will Rule
Which I, Am. And You Are Too
We Will See…
It Is Inevitable!
We Too Will See,
We Will See…!
(The poem is the translation of Faiz Ahmad Faiz’s famous Ghazal HUM DEKHAINGE . Muhammad Nadeem hails from Batamaloo. He has has done Bachelors in English and Psychology from Amar Singh College and is currently pursuing MFA in Creative Writing)
