Dastoor
Deep jis ka sirf mehellaat hi main jalay, Chand logon ki khushyon ko lay ker chalay, Wo jo saye main har maslihat kay palay; Aisay dastoor ko, Subh e bay noor ko, Main naheen maanta, Main naheen jaanta. Main bhee kha’if naheen takhta e daar say, Main bhee Mansoor hoon, keh do aghyaar say, Kyun daraatay ho zindaan ki divar say, Zulm ki baat ko, Jehel ki raat ko, Main naheen maanta, Main naheen jaanta. Phool shaakhon pay khilnay lagay tum kaho, Jaam rindon ko milnay lagay tum kaho, Chak seenon kay silnay lagay tum kaho, Iss khulay jhoot ko, Zehan ki loot ko, Main naheen maanta, Main naheen jaanta. Tum nay loota hai sadyon hamara sakoon, Ab na hum per chalay ga tumhara fasoon, Chara gar main tumhain kiss tara say kahoon? Tum naheen charaagar, Koi maanay magar, Main naheen maanta, Main naheen jaanta. -------------------------- English Translation: The light which shines only in palaces Burns up the joy of the people in the shadows Derives its strength from others’ weakness That kind of system, like dawn without light I refuse to acknowledge, I refuse to accept I am not afraid of execution, Tell the world that I am the martyr How can you frighten me with prison walls This overhanging doom, this night of ignorance, I refuse to acknowledge, I refuse to accept “Flowers are budding on branches, that’s what you say, “Every cup overflows, that’s what you say, “Wounds are healing themselves, that’s what you say, These bare-faces lies, this insult to the intelligence, I refuse to acknowledge, I refuse to accept For centuries you have all stolen our peace of mind But your power over us is coming to an end Why do you pretend you can cure pain Even if some claim that you’ve healed them, I refuse to acknowledge, I refuse to accept.
