If they think a silly panel at an IIT can crush the spirit of resistance, they are wrong. When they go low, we go high. Let's share the message to more and more!

Here's Fiaz's poem Hum Dekhenge translated to English by Maniza Naqvi, for the benefit of non-urdu speakers:

We shall see
Certainly we, too, shall see
that day that has been promised to us!

When these high mountains
Of tyranny and oppression
turn to fluff and evaporate
And we oppressed
Beneath our feet will have
this earth shiver, shake and beat
And heads of rulers will be struck
With crackling lightening
and thunder roars.

When from this God’s earth
All falseness will be removed
Then we of clean hearts - condemned by Zealots those keepers of
Faith,
We, will be invited to that altar to sit and govern -
When crowns will be thrown off - and over turned will be thrones

We shall see
Certainly we, too, shall see
that day that has been promised to us

The God’s name will remain
Who is invisible and visible too
Who is the seer and is seen
There will rise one cheer - I am God!
Who I am too
and so are you

Then the masses, people of God will rule
Who I am too
and so are you

There will rise one cheer- I am God!
Who I am too
and so are you!
