ROZ EK SHER

For Ayn Rand and her immortal protagonists, John Galt (Atlas Shrugged) and Howard Roark (Fountainhead) who personified the following sher:

अपना ज़माना आप बनाते हैं अहले-दिल
हम वे नहीं कि जिसको ज़माना बना गया
-जिगर मुरादाबादी

apnaa zamaanaa aap banaate hain ahle-dil
hum ve nahiin ki jisko zamaanaa banaa gayaa
-Jigar Muradabadi

We bravehearts make our own world
We have not let the world make us
