Oh Mullah, our hair locks turn into
Flags
You can’t hide yourselves
behind the hijab of your beards
We’ve revolted against Khomeini’s
edicts.
The woman rises up in the streets of Tehran, now
We’ve got to bury you in ‘Behesht-e Zahra’
We’ve got to avenge for our sons
buried in very grounds of the
Behesht-e Zahra
We are symbols of God
And;
you’re Satan’s signature
We’re the Legacy of Zainab (AS)
the daughters of Ali (AS)
We’ve made Karbaba
colorful with our tears
and blood
In regimes of every Yazid,
O’ the mullahs!
You are Yazids
of the modern age
Again , in front of us is
the ruler of
Balad al Shaam (Syria)
We’re facing again
the mean streets of
Kufa
We are the truth of
Hussain (AS)
We’re the declaration of your
demise
We’re the ghazals of Hafez
We’re
The anecdotes of Saadi
We’re the quartets of Khayam
Beneath our feet is the world
Of Esfahan
We’re Quurat-ul-Ain Tahirehs
We’re the night angels of Mashhad
We’re the voice of truth
the songs of Googoosh
We’re
the love of Sirmed
And, we’re Farogh Farokhzads
With our hair locks,
the flag of
truth and fidelity
must, must flutter
higher and higher
So should be our pens
Down with mullah
Down with mullah
Moreover
O my Beloved,
A new revolution
O my women,
A new revolution!

(translated by Hasan Mujtaba)

 

Original poem

ایرانی خواتین کے نام ایک نظم
ہمارے زلف پیچاں اب تو پرچم بن گئے ملاں
حجابی داڑھیوں میں اب تم
چھپ نہیں سکتے
خمینی کی روایت سے بغاوت ہم نے کردی ہے
یہیں تہراں کی گلیوں میں اب عورت اٹھ کر آئی ہے
ہمیں بہشت زہرا میں دفن اب تم کو کرنا ہے
اسی بہشت زہرا میں دفن ہر اپنے فرزند کا
اب بدلہ تم سے لینا ہے
ہم آیتیں خداوند ی
تم آیات شیاطین ہو
ہم زینب کی وراثت ہیں
علی کی بیٹیاں ہیں ہم
ہمیں سے کربلا آباد ہر دوریزیدی میں
تمہیں دور یزیدی ہو زمانے اس جدیدی میں
وہی حاکم لعین شام ہے آگے
تہمہاری شکل میں ہرگز
وہی کوفے کی گلیاں اب
ہمارے سامنے بھی ہیں
حسینی ہم حقیقت ہیں
تمہارے دور کے اس اجل کا اعلان ہم ہی ہیں
ہمیں حافظ کی غزلیں ہیں
سعدی کی حکایت ہیں
رباعی خیام کی ہیں
جہان اصفہاں ہیں ہم
قرت العین طاہرائیں ہم ہی ہیں
مشہد کی مینائیں
ہمیں گگوش کی آوازبرحق ہیں
ہمیں دارورسن کی آزمائش ہیں
ہمیں ہیں عشق سرمدی
ہمیں فرغ فروغ زادائیں
ہمارے زلف پیچاں سے
وفا کا صدق کا
سراپائے بغاوت کا
علم ہو اور بھی اونچا
قلم ہو اور بھی اونچا
مرگ بر ملا
مرگ بر ملاں
مزید بر آں
نیا اک انقلاب جانم
نیا اک انقلاب خانم

حسن مجتبی
