This is the simple translation of the much controversial Faiz's poetry "Hum Dekhenge". Every single line explained lucidly. English translation taken from an article published in TOI in 2016. Should help those who wish to understand just the poetry. #Faiz #UrduKiPaathshala pic.twitter.com/0KUwQtMONc
