Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota - Hazrat Bahadur Shah �Zafar�

Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota

Ya mera taaj gadayana banaaya hota

Apna deewana banaya mujhe hota tu ne

Kyun khirad mand banaaya, na banaaya hota

Khaksaari ke liye gar che banaaya tha mujhe

Kaash !!! sang-e-dar-e-janaana banaay hota

Nash�aa-e-ishq ka gar zarf diya tha mujh ko
Umr ka tang na paimaana banaaya hota

Dil-e-sad chaak banaaya, to balaa se, lekin

Zulf-e-mushkeen ka teri shaana banaaya hota

Soofiyon ke jo na tha laayaq-e-sohbat to mujhe

Qaabil-e-jalsa-e-rindaana banaay hota

Tha jalaana hi agar doori-e-saaqi se mujhe

To charaagh-e-dar-e-janaana banaaya hota

Roz maamoora-e-duniyaa mein kharaabi hai �Zafar�

Aisi basti se to weerana banaaya hota

~ Hazrat Bahadur Shah �Zafar�

Still, we can't leave you in the filth to stand A generation's laughing-stock and jest. Your former freedom is our sword in hand, Your dignity a buckler at our breast. We'll grip our spears and spur our steeds: go brave Lest we should shame our fathers in their grave. The Original: Cymru Gwenallt Jones Paham y rhoddaist inni'r tristwch hwn, A'r boen fel pwysau plwm ar gnawd a gwaed? Dy iaith ar ein hysgwyddau megis pwn, A'th draddodiadau'n hual am ein traed? Mae'r cancr yn crino dy holl liw a'th lun, A'th enaid yn gornwydydd ac yn grach, Nid wyt ond...

Meditation on the Past at Tong Pass By Zhang Yanghao Translated by A.Z. Foreman Peaks and ridges mass together River breakers blast in wrath In and out through river and hill Goes the road through old Tong Pass I gaze at the western capital All my thought distraught This is the place that breaks the heart Where Han and Qin marched past Palaces and towers and halls All turned dirt at last Dynasties rise The people suffer Dynasties fall The people suffer The Original, with transcribed Yuan Dynasty pronunciation: ??????? ????, fu? l?n ry dzy ????, pw? daw ry nu ???????? ?an ?? p?w li du? kuan lu ???, wa? si tu ???? i d?iw d?y ???????, ?a? sim dzin xan kji? ?ji? t??y ????????? kyu? ky?' wan kjan tu tsaw' l?w t?u ?, xji? ???; paj' si? k?u ?, wa? ???! paj' si? k?u
