I am pleased to find this club hidden away in the labyrinths of the internet. I would like to share a translation of a poem "Kaun Dushman Hai" by Ali Sardar Jafri - someone had sent it to me some time back. Unfortunately, the name of the translator was not sent with the text. I would be grateful if a reader would like to clarify this.
You were slaves till yesterday, so were we. And then came the season of freedom bathed in showers of blood
Between you and us rage rivers of fire Tall frowning barriers of hate
With a mere glance, However, we can tear them down;
We can forget, forgive the cruel part; And again embrace you, yes we can
But first you will have to break your swords, And cleanse these bloodied garments;
After that we shall become no more strangers. You bring us flowers from the gardens of Lahore,
We bring you light from the dawns of Banaras, Freshness of the Himalayan breeze;
And thereafter we ask each other: Who is the enemy?
