Speak Poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Speak

Rating: 2.8


Speak, your lips are free.
Speak, it is your own tongue.
Speak, it is your own body.
Speak, your life is still yours.

See how in the blacksmith's shop
The flame burns wild, the iron glows red;
The locks open their jaws,
And every chain begins to break.

Speak, this brief hour is long enough
Before the death of body and tongue:
Speak, 'cause the truth is not dead yet,
Speak, speak, whatever you must speak.

Translated by Azfar Hussain

''Speak, 'cause the truth is not dead yet, '' the truth is not dead, yet too many want to manipulate and deny it.. ''Speak'', 'cause all of us should tell the truth..
