Rise Up...! Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari
Rise Up...!
Hey, Rise up!
You, still snoring in the lap of futile sleep;
At this hour of fleeting time,
Sleep is required no more.
Where is the Great Alexander?
Death neither spares Prophets nor Saints;
All left this evanescent abode one by one,
Nothing is undying in this fragile world.
You would yield, what you would strive for;
Or you would suffer for slip-ups and indiscretions.
You would cry (for your Love) like a dumped Heron;
Wingless you would be; how would you fly then? -
Bullah, There is nothing except Shah (God) ,
Neither in this world nor in the world to come;
Tread prudently in this world (of darkness and illusions) ,
The time once missed, would recur no more.
Hey, Rise up!
You, still snoring in the lap of futile sleep;
At this hour of fleeting time,
Sleep is required no more.

Kamran Saheb, aapney yeh bahut achaa kaam kiya hain jo ki Is mahaan peer-faquir ki boliyan yahan piron dee. Wonderful rendition in translation. In 1970s a Hindi film was released called Bobby. It had starting wording in a song which goes like this 'Beshak mandir masjid todo, Bulleyshaan yeh kainda, par pyaar bhara dil kabhi na toro, oo, Jis dil mein dilbur rainda, ....(go for it also!) .
