Raat ki ahni mayyat ke tale dab jae

[LP]

“Tujh ko manzoor nahin ghalba-e-zulmat lekin
Tujh ko manzoor hae yeh hath qalam ho jaen
Aur mashriq ki kamingah mein dharakta hua din
Raat ki ahni mayyat ke tale dab jae”*

(You don’t like that the darkness conquers everything
But you want that these hands are chopped off
And the Day that pulsates in the hideout of East
Gets buried under the steely corpse of night.)*

Re: Raat ki ahni mayyat ke tale dab jae

It was addressed to Mahatma Gandhi.This is wht I had gathered from wht I read abt it :-

Another poem, “Ek Siyasi Leader ke Naam” (“To A Politician”) was addressed to Mahatma Gandhi.Gandhi’s stand on world war surprised all those who considered Hitler and Mussolini’s Fascism as a great menace for the world. Gandhi proposed that “Allies should invite Hitler and Mussolini to take what they want of the countries Allies called their possession.” Advocating his philosophy of pacifism, Gandhi wrote to the British: “Let them take possession of your beautiful island with its many beautiful buildings. You will give all this but neither your minds nor you souls.”
