mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

maiN jo Khamosh hooN tum samjhe keh ghabaraya hooN
maiN woh qaTra hooN jo ToofaanoN se Takraya hooN
Hausla dil meN viraasat ke TaraH paya hooN
main zamaney meN kafan pahne huuwe aaya hooN

ai jahaN walo nah buzdil hooN nah Ghamgeen hooN maiN
mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

GoliyaN seene tak aayeNgee tou ghabraaooNga
Woh yeh samjhe they keh Bum dekh ke tharraooNga
Shauq se apne waTan ke liye mar jaaooNga
Kum se kum qabr meN ja ker tou sukooN paaooNga

ai jahaN walo nah buzdil hooN nah Ghamgeen hooN maiN
mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

sub se ulfat hai mujhe jake zamane ko bataao
maiN yeh kahta hooN keh tafreeq ki deevaar giraao
sir uThake mujhe jeena hai mira sir nah jhukaao
Logo Lillah mire Haal pe aaNsu nah bahaao

ai jahaN walo nah buzdil hooN nah Ghamgeen hooN maiN
mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

mujh sa jaaN baz kahaN maut se ghabraega
maiN woh ToofaN hooN jo roke se nah rook payega
jab bhi raawee miree tareekh ko dohrayega
ik laeeN qaum ka sir sharm se jhook jayega

ai jahaN walo nah buzdil hooN nah Ghamgeen hooN maiN
mujh ko pahchano keh ik Tifl.e Philasteen hooN maiN

SONG FOR A PALESTINIAN CHILD
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child.
People think, I am meek and mild.
I was born in the midst of fire,
Coffin on the body is my attire;
I can face everything, dark and dire,
The time fails to sink me in its mire.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child.
People think, I am meek and mild.
Always ready for bullets is my chest,
The bombs can never dampen my zest;
My blood is meant for my country's best,
Only in the grave, I shall take my rest.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
People think, I am meek and mild.
I aspire for peace , have love for all,
I want to demolish the religion's wall;
When the world is weeping on my fall,
I must also try to rise high and tall .
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
People think, I am meek and mild.
Playing with death, is my ordinary game,
For me , earth and sky are all the same;
I am a violent storm, no power can tame,
My enemy will suffer a lasting shame.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
People think, I am meek and mild.
Desire for freedom makes me wild,
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
Dr. Mustafa Kamal Sherwani
