I don't know what else people can do, aside from making noise. Apparently some monks in exile will lead a protest at the UN this afternoon. We are getting very bad news from inside the country now—raids on the monasteries, live ammunition fired into crowds, and unconfirmed reports of a many people killed in Mandalay.

Burma represent a test for the international community as much as the will of the Burmese people." بول کہ لب آزاد ہیں تیرے بول زباں اب تک تیری ہے بول یہ تھوڑا وقت بہت ہے جسم و زباں کی موت سے پہلے بول کہ سچ زںدھ ہے اب تک بول جو کچھ کہنا ہے کہ لے “….. Burma represent a test for the international community as much as the will of the Burmese people.”

بول کہ لب آزاد ہیں تیرے
بول زباں اب تک تیری ہے

بول یہ تھوڑا وقت بہت ہے
جسم و زباں کی موت سے پہلے
بول کہ سچ زںدھ ہے اب تک
بول جو کچھ کہنا ہے کہ لے
