My sorrow is an unsung song
My being without trace
If my sorrow finds a voice
I will find my rightful place.
If I find the trace of my being
I will find the secret of seeing
If I find this secret that is hidden
My silence will turn eloquent
I will rule the universe
And gain the treasures of both worlds!
Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1911-1984) var pakistansk poet, og en viktig stemme på venstresida i pakistansk politikk.
