bol ke lab aazaad haiN tere
bol zabaaN ab tak terii hai
teraa sutvaaN jism hai teraa
bol ke jaaN ab tak terii hai
dekh ke aahaNgar kii dukaaN meN
tuNd haiN shole surKh hai aahan
khulne lage qufloN ke dahaane
phailaa har ek zanjiir kaa daaman
bol ye thoRaa vaqt bahut hai
jism-o-zubaaN kii maut se pahle
bol ke sach ziNdaa hai ab tak
bol jo kuch kehnaa hai keh le
(sutvaaN : well built; aahaNgar : blacksmith; tuNd : bright; aahan : iron; qufl : lock; dahaanaa : mouth)

it is a a great revelations poem. I appreciate that. eh sher azadi ko chhahne walon ka kalma hai.
Eh ek aawaz hai, narra hai, aur khhaish bhi.
great…..
“bol ke lab azaad hai tere” In the present social fabric where cosmeticly maintained relatioship is apriciated I believe thiscomposition of great FAIZ inspires to be bold with realisation of once potential.
Faiz Ahmad Faiz, an amazing person and a most inspirational personality. Favorite of all those who believe in the freedom speech, without the distinction of nationality, color, race or religion
Bol kay lab azaad hain Teray kaash kay kabhi hum ye baat samjh sakhe….
