Khamosh Sach/ Silent Truth

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
