THE POWER OF POETRY SHARPENED BY MUSIC
The legendary performance by Iqbal Bano of poet
Faiz Ahmad Faiz's immortal song, Hum Dekhenge...
Iqbal Bano, the subcontinent's beloved ghazal singer,
born in India (1935, Delhi) and trained in the Dilli Gharana by the
legendary Ustad Chand Khan.
Her family moved to Pakistan in 1952. Iqbal Bano was awarded
the 'Tamgha-e-Imtiaz'(Pride of Performance) medal in 1974
by the government of Pakistan. She died on April 21, 2009 in
Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
In the hearts of all who knew and loved her music is the memory
of that day: when, in protest against the jailing of the subcontinent's
foremost left poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz by Pakistan's dictator General
Zia-ul Haq, she sang Faiz's immortal song "Hum Dekhenge"
(We shall witness) at a Lahore stadium full of 50,000 people,
wearing a black sari in defiance of Zia's ban on the sari.
As her liquid voice reached the crescendo -- declaring
"Certainly we, too, shall witness that day ... When these
high mountains/Of tyranny and oppression turn to fluff
and evaporate/And we oppressed/Beneath our feet will
this earth shiver, shake and beat/And heads of rulers will
be struck/With crackling lightening and thunder roars/
When crowns will be flung in the air — and thrones will
be overturned ...," people joined with slogans of
"Inquilab Zindabad" (Long live revolution.
LYRICS :
Hum dekhenge Lazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge Woh din ke jis ka waada hai Jo loh-e-azl pe likha hai Hum dekhenge Jab zulm-o-sitam ke koh-e-garaan Rui ki tarah ud jayenge Hum mehkumoon ke paun tale Yeh dharti dhad dhad dhadkagi Aur ehl-e-hukum ke sar upar Jab bijli kad kad kadkegi Hum dekhenge Jab arz-e-khuda ke Kabe se Sab but uthwaye jayenge Hum ahl-e-safa mardood-e-haram Masnad pe bithaye jayenge Sab taaj uchale jayenge Sab takht giraye jayenga Bas naam rahega Allah ka Jo ghayab bhi hai hazir bhi Jo nazir bhi hai manzar bhi Uthega nalhaq ka naara Jomain bhi hoon aur tum bhi ho Aur raaj karegi khalq-e-khuda Jo main bhi hoon aur tum bhi ho Hum dekhenge Lazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge Hum dekhenge
