This is a beautiful song written by Faiz Ahmed Faiz and sung by Azfar Ali and Umar Amanullah. I found it on youtube and loved the music and the lyrics. It has a yearning written all over it.. a restrained one though and the passion of a generation. Listen to it and savor the brilliance of the poet, the music makers and the singers.. While you do see the translation in the video\u2026 here it is for reading below the video..<\/p>\n

UMEED -E-SAHAR:
\nJigar dareeda hoon, chaak-e-jigar ki baat suno
\nUmeed-e-sahar ki baat suno<\/p>\n
(I\u2019m torn inside; hark what my tormented entrails tell
\nHark to the hope of the dawn)<\/p>\n
Alam raseeda hoon, daman-e-tar ki baat suno
\nUmeed-e-sahar ki baat suno<\/p>\n
(I\u2019m swept by sorrows; hark to what my tears have to tell
\nHark to the hope of the dawn)<\/p>\n
Zubaan bureeda hoon, zakhm-e-guloo sey harf karo
\nUmeed-e-sahar ki baat suno<\/p>\n
(My tongue is tortured; hark to my wounded throat
\nHark to the hope of the dawn)<\/p>\n
Shikasta pa hoon, malaal-e-safar ki baat suno
\nUmeed-e-sahar ki baat suno<\/p>\n
(My feet are lacerated; hark to the travails of my travels
\nHark to the hopes of the dawn)<\/p>\n
Musafir-e-rah-e-sehra-e-zulmat-e-shab se
\nAb iltafat-e-nigar-e-sahar ki baat suno<\/p>\n
(From a traveler through the desert of the dark dark night
\ncome! and listen to the tidings of bright & beautiful morn\u2019)<\/p>\n
Umeed-e-sahar ki baat!<\/p>\n
