ये कैसा गणतंत्र ? (Ye Kaisa Gantantra?)

Republic Day honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950. The Constitution declares India a sovereign, socialist, secular,democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavors to promote fraternity among them. These pillars of our democratic republic always remain under threat because we the people of India give more value to caste,creed,religion,region,gender and status. Is this the republic our founding fathers imagined? Is this the republic for which we fought such a hard battle of freedom? Answers to these question is necessary for a Happy Republic Day.



मुठ्ठी भर ही बाटें हैं मुठ्ठी-मुठ्ठी अनाज,
इनके ही बनते हैं सारे बिगड़े काज,
चले गए अंग्रेज़, चले है अब इनका राज,
जनता के राज बिना ये कैसा गणतंत्र ?
Mutthi Bhar Hi Batein Hain Muththi-Muththi Anaaj,
Inke Hi Bante Hain Saare Bigde Kaaj,
Chale Gaye Angrez,Chale Hai Ab Inka Raaj,
Janta Ke Raaj Bina Ye Kaisa Gantantra?

मंदिर-मंदिर, मस्जिद-मस्जिद, गिरजे, गुरुदुवारे में,
मेरा हिंदुस्तान बटा है धर्मों के बाज़ारो में,
धर्मों के दंगल में चित ये कैसा गणतंत्र ?
Mandir-Mandir, Masjid-Masjid, Girje, Gurudware Mein,
Mera Hindustan Bata Hai Dharmon Ke Bazaron Mein,
Dharmon Ke Dangal Mein Chit Ye Kaisa Gantantra?

सर्वोत्तम जाती सेवा की या उसकी जो सेवा करवाए ? 
घाट-घाट जाकर भी नदिया निर्मल नीर बहाए,
इक्कीसवी सदी में भी वो उंच-नीच सिखाएं,
जातिवाद के चक्रव्यूह में जकड़ा ये कैसा गणतंत्र ?
Sarvottam Jaati Seva Ki Ya Uski Jo Seva Karwaye?
Ghaat-Ghaat Jakar Bhi Nadiya Nirmal Neer Bahaye,
Ikkiswi Sadi Mein Bhi Wo Unch Neech Sikhaen,
Jatiwaad Ke Jakravyuh Mein Jakda Ye Kaisa Gantantra?

जनम देने वाली ही जन्मो से ठोकर खाए,
मान-सम्मान ,अधिकार और कभी इज़्ज़त अपनी गवाए,
जननी के तिरस्कार को सेहता ये कैसा गणतंत्र ?
Janam Dene Wali Hi Janmon Se Thokar Khaye,
Maan-Samman, Adhikaar Aur Kabhi Izzat Apni Gawaye,
Janani Ke Tiraskar Ko Sehta Ye Kaisa Gantantra?

There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Everything is not lost and our unity, oneness are the solutions for all inequality in the society. We must come together to fight all evils hindering our progress as a nation. Only then we can retain the greatness of our combined cultural heritage and this would be the true respect to the constitution.

उठो अभी सब लूटा नहीं है, और टुकड़ो में देश अभी बटा नहीं है ,
संविधान है शान हमारी अभी मोल उसको घटा नहीं है ,
परिस्तिथियों को अनुकूल बनाकर जन-जन सब एक हो जाएँ,
चुनौतियों से संग टकराएं, तभी बनेगा देश हमारा सच्चा गणतंत्र। 
Utho Abhi Sab Luta Nahin Hai, Aur Tukdon Mein Desh Abhi Bata Nahin Hai,
Samvidhaan Hai Shaan Hamari Abhi Mol Uska Ghata Nahin Hai,
Paristithiyon Ko Anukool Banakar Jan-Jan Sab Ek Ho Jaaen,
Chunotiyon Se Sang Takraen, Tabhi Banega Desh Hamara Sacha Gantantra.

मुठ्ठी Mutthi - handful ; अनाज Anaaj - Food grains ; चित Chit - fall on back/defeated ; जकड़ा Jakda - clutched ;  तिरस्कार Tiraskar - Insult ; संविधान Samvidhaan - Constitution ; गणतंत्र Gantantra - Republic

Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti.

रक्षा बंधन - जिसकी बहन नहीं होती। Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti. Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival of brother-sister love in which sister tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's hand and wishes for his long-life while brother promises to protect her and take care of her in every possible way. Sadly the country which celebrate such a unique festival reports incidents of Honor Killing and has a high rate of crime against women. Lets pledge to respect each women equally this Raksha Bandhan as a mark of  honor for your sister. In this Hindi Kavita (Poem) I have tried to express what all those devoid of sisters are missing in their life. It is also reminder to all those who have sisters but take these advantages as granted without caring for their sisters.  Happy Raksha Bandhan to all. सूनी कलाई, सूना बचपन, सूना आगन हो जाता है, जिसकी बहन नहीं होती सूना उसका जीवन हो जाता है।  Suni Kalai, Suna Bachpan, Suna Aagan Ho Jata Hai, Jiski Baha...

The Seven Stages Of Love(इश्क़ के सात मक़ाम) Arabic literature and sufi traditions describes seven stages of love and after the movie 'Dedh Ishqiya'  all of us also knew that these seven stages of love are दिलकशी (Attraction),उन्स (Attachment),मोहब्बत (Love),अक़ीदत (Trust/Reverence),इबादत (Worship),जूनून (Madness) and मौत (Death) . At this time of the year ( Valentine Week) when the   Love is in the air    I am sharing my couplets (शेर ) which are based on these seven stages of love written at different times. I hope you will like my effort and share anything related to these seven stages of love at the comment section of this post. The best couplet ( शेर ) will be posted with your name on my Facebook page ( Fans Of Poetry ). 1. दिलकशी (Attraction) : The first stage of love where eyes meet,spark is initiated and the journey of love begins. वो मेरी तरफ देख कर गुज़र गए, ना कुछ कहा ना बात की, ना रुक के मुलाकात की, डाल कर मुझपर बस एक नज़र गुज़र...

Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye

न मुहँ छुपा के जीए हम न सर झुका के जीए। (Na Muhn Chupa Ki Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye) -  I am sharing here a ' Qita ' written by Sahir Ludhianvi which is recently used in Hindi movie 'Sanju '. A song inspired from it also penned by Sahir for the film ' Humraaz' (1967 ) staring Sunil Dutt in the lead role. Literal meaning of Qata is ‘separated’. Qata stands for a series of couplets in a ghazal having continuity of thought. A ghazal having one or more Qatas is called Qata-Band ghazal . Qatas also have independent existence comprising at least four lines. In a Qata , the second and fourth lines follow the same rhyming scheme. (Qita meaning from Rekhta ). Here I have tried to translate it.  न मुँह छुपा के जिए हम न सर झुका के जिए,  सितमगरों की नज़र से नज़र मिला के जिए, अब एक रात अगर कम जिए तो कम ही सही,  यही बहुत है कि हम मिशअलें जला के जिए।  Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye, Sitamgaron Ki Nazar Se Nazar M...
