kabhi socha nahi tha
aisa din bhi aayega
jahaan imaan bikh chuka
aur sho'uur mit chuka
kabhi suna nahi tha
aisi bey insaafi ka
insaaniyat bhola kar
sar bulund hay duniya
kabhi dekha nahi tha
itna ghuroor menay
ilm haasil karkay
ghaflat may doob maray
shayad may nadaan tha
mujrim pehchaanay may
liken chup na rahounga
zulm ko rouknay may
--Asad Haider (2007)
I had never thought
such a day would come
where my faith would be sold
and my resolve was erased
i had never heard
of such an injustice
in forgetting their humanity
the head of the world is high
I have never
so much insolence
after gaining knowledge
they drown in ignorance
perhaps i was naïve
in recognizing the criminal
but i shall not remain silent
as i stop this oppression
--Asad Haider (2007)
