پس منظر و تعارف

ساحر لدھیانوی کی یہ نظم مظلوم اور محنت کش طبقے کی امید، خواب اور جدوجہد کا وہ آفاقی نغمہ ہے جس نے پورے برصغیر کے کروڑوں دلوں کو حوصلہ بخشا۔ ساحر نے سرمایہ دارانہ ظلم، غربت، اور صدیوں کے استحصال کے اندھیروں کے درمیان یہ یقین دلایا ہے کہ ایک دن ایسا ضرور آئے گا جب انسان انسان کا استحصال نہیں کرے گا اور ہر چہرے پر خوشی کی کرن مسکرائے گی۔ ساحر کی شاعری میں درد کے ساتھ ساتھ تبدیلی کا جو پختہ یقین ملتا ہے وہ اس نظم کو لازوال بناتا ہے۔

Penned by celebrated progressive poet Sahir Ludhianvi, 'Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi' (That Dawn Shall Surely Come Someday) is a sublime humanist anthem of hope amidst deep socioeconomic despair. Sahir envisions a future free from poverty, hunger, and capitalist exploitation, where justice and equality finally crown human struggle.

Woh subah kabhi to aayegi
In kaali sadiyon ke sar se jab raat ka aanchal dhalkega
Jab dukh ke baadal pighlenge, jab sukh ka saagar chhalkega
Jab ambar jhoom ke gaayega, jab dharti naach uthayegi
Woh subah kabhi to aayegi

Jis subah ki khaatir jug jug se hum sab qurbaan hue jaate hain
Jis subah ke amrit ki dhun mein zehr ke ghoont piye jaate hain
Woh subah hamein to na mil paayi, par aane wali naslein paayengi
Woh subah kabhi to aayegi!

Complete English Translation

That promised dawn shall surely arrive someday! When from the weary brow of these dark centuries, the shroud of night shall slip away; When clouds of human sorrow dissolve, and the ocean of tranquil joy overflows; When the high heavens sway in song, and the liberated earth dances in ecstasy, That promised dawn shall surely arrive someday! For the sake of that very dawn, across countless ages, we continue to sacrifice our lives; In pursuit of the nectar of that dawn, we willingly swallow bitter draughts of poison; Even if that dawn remained denied to us, our coming generations shall inherit its light! That promised dawn shall surely arrive someday!
