Watch | Protesters Singing Faiz’s Hum Dekhenge; Roses Offered to Cops
Twitter is effusive over how the protests refreshed the memories of famous song Hum Dekhenge. It is a popular Urdu nazm written by Faiz Ahmed Faiz, with a revolutionary theme. It was written in January 1979 in the United States when Faiz was invited to Honolulu for a writers' conference. The poem was included in the seventh poetry book of Faiz, titled Mere Dil Mere Musafir in 1981. It was known for its rendition by Iqbal Bano.
