While the long elaborate post is still to come, sorry to constantly do this, but really wanted to share this urdu couplet by a lesser know poet called Momin, a trained Unani physician.
Kuchh log hain khaamosh
Magar soch rahe hain
Sach bolenge tab
Sach ke jab daam badhenge
- Hakim Momim Khan Momin
There are some who remain silent
But are sunk in deep surmise
Yes, they wll speak the truth
But when the price of truth is on the rise-
-transalated by Khushwant Singh
woh sauda tab karenge jab aamon ke aam bikenge aur ghutliyon ke bhi daam lagenge
