V.G. Kiernan’s poetic translation:<\/em><\/font>
\nSpeak, for your two lips are free;
\nSpeak, your tongue is still your own;
\nThis straight body still is yours’
\nSpeak, your life is still your own.<\/p>\n

See how in the blacksmith’s forge
\nFlames leap high and steel glows red,
\nPadlocks open wide their jaws,
\nEvery chain’s embrace outspread!<\/p>\n

Time enough is this brief hour
\nUntil body and tongue lie dead;
\nSpeak, for truth is living yet–
\nSpeak whatever must be said.<\/p>\n

V.G. Kiernan’s literal translation:<\/em><\/font>
\nSpeak, for your lips are free;
\nSpeak, your tongue is still yours,
\nYour upright body is yours’
\nSpeak, your life is still yours.
\nSee how in the blacksmith’s shop
\nThe flames are hot, the iron is red,
\nMouths of locks have begun to open,
\nEach chain’s skirt<\/a> has spread wide.
\nSpeak, this little time is plenty
\nBefore the death of body and tongue;
\nSpeak, for truth is still alive–
\nSpeak, say whatever is to be said.<\/p>\n

Faiz Ahmed Faiz<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve read and heard this one a few times, and even in Faiz’s own voice<\/a> (frankly, he isn’t no Habib Jalib as far as this is concerned). But it wasn’t until today that I heard Tina Sani’s rendition<\/a> and it really hit me, pretty deep. (Of course, Z sent me this file a long time ago and in my usual indolence I didn’t listen to it until now. My bad.)<\/p>\n

Sani’s version on YouTube:

Skirt<\/strong><\/a>, or daaman<\/em>, doesn’t have the gendered implication it would in English. The word, depending on the context, has one too many meanings. Another way to translate the line is to imply that the chains are actually begging. But Kiernan was down with Faiz and the latter looked over the translation. Note, also, the poetic translation, “Every chain’s embrace outspread!”<\/font><\/p>\n
