I am coming across such a fine poem on blood' for the first time. Yes, the blood has many tales to say to the world - of war, of protests, of revolutions, of oppression, of helplessness and much more. Sahir was an incomparable poet and his film songs are also fine verses. Who can write such songs these days? He had his staunch views about poetry, lyrics and life.

An inspirational poem... The blood you sought to suppress in abattoir Today that blood moves out into street Here an ember, there a slogan, there a stone Once blood comes to flows Bayonets are no avail Head, once it is raised Is not downed by law's hail.

A great poem from the pen of a great poet. A tyrant, and an oppressor can never win by ruthless killings.The spirit of freedom will surely rise against the tyrant and defeat him.To quote a few lines from the poem- - - What is about oppression? What is with its impression? Oppression is, all of it, but oppression From beginning to end Blood is still blood Myriad form it can assume Forms such as are indelible Embers such as are inextinguishable Slogans such as are irrepressible.
