Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu

Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu (Punjabi: اَج آکھاں وارث شاہ نُوں, ਅੱਜ ਆਖਾਂ ਵਾਰਸ ਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੂੰ, romanized: Ajj ākhāṁ Vāris Śāh nūṁ; transl. 'Today, I Say Unto Waris Shah' or 'Today, I Invoke Waris Shah') is a Punjabi-language poetic dirge by Punjabi author Amrita Pritam about the horrors of Punjab's partition during the 1947 partition of India. The poem is addressed to the 18th-century Punjabi poet Waris Shah, who wrote the most popular version of the Punjabi romance tragedy, Heer Ranjha. It appeals to Waris Shah to arise from his grave, record the Punjab's tragedy and turn over a new page in Punjab's history.
