हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा ( Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega ) - Tricolor Will Wave at Every House भुके जिस्मों में दो वक्त जब अन्न का दाना जाएगा, बेरोज़गारी का धब्बा नौजवानों पर से जब मिट जाएगा, आने वाला कल जब लेकर खुशहाली आयेगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Bhooke Jismon Mein Do Waqt Jab Ann Ka Dana Jayega, Berozgari Ka Dhabba Naujawano Par Se Jab Mit Jayega, Aane Wala Kal Jab Lekar Khushhali Aayega, Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega. डिपो से राशन उसका जब जायज़ हकदार ही लाएगा, गरीब की सीट पर पैसे वाले का बच्चा पढ़ने ना जाएगा, सरकारी अस्पातल से भी मरीज़ जब जिंदा वापस आएगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Depo Se Rashan Uska Jab Jayaz Hakdaar Hi Layega, Gareeb Ki Seat Par Paise Wale Ka Bachcha Padne Na Jayega, Sarkari Aspatal Se Bhi Mareez Jab Zinda Wapas Aayega, Har Ghar Tiranga Lehrayega . मंदिर, मस्जिद, गिरजे, गुरुद्वारों से बहार जब इंसान आएगा, कोई धर्म नहीं, कोई जात नहीं जब वो हिंदुस्तानी कहलाएगा, छूने से असव्च्छ नहीं, ना छूने से जब वो घर जाएगा। हर घर तिरंगा लहराएगा। Mandir, Masjid, Girje,Gurudwaron Se Bahar Jab In

 Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Hara Rakhna ( मेरे ज़ख्मों को तुम हरा रखना) - Keep My Wounds Fresh 'Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Hara Rakhna' is my comeback poem on the blog. It is almost  after a year that I am updating my blog. This Hindi poem tells the helplessness of a common man in India. Facing problems from all corners of life he is frustrated in saying that he is in such a position where he neither die nor live peacefully and with dignity. He/She is feeling like caged bird who is not allowed to even die in spite living in such pathetic condition. For more explanation Read Here.  मेरे ज़ख्मों को तुम हरा रखना, समंदर दर्द का सदा भरा रखना।  कोई आइना मुझे हस्ते हुए न देख ले, ऐसे कमरे में बंद मुझे तनहा रखना।   Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Bhara Rakhna,  Samandar Dard Ka Bhara Rakhna.  Koi Aaina Mujhe Haste Hue Na Dekh Le, Aise Kamre Mein Band Mujhe Tanha Rakhna. कभी बेड़ियों से जो आज़ाद दिखूं, कतरने को पर पास उस्तरा रखना।  Kabhi Bediyon Se Jo Azad Dikhun, Katarne Ko Par Pass Ustara Rakhna. दरिया में गिरकर कह

वो ईद, ईद न होगी। (Woh Eid, Eid Na Hogi.) Covid Era is a different time and we are experiencing the things differently. Our lifestyles has changed, the way world behaving has changed and it has also changed the way Eid will be celebrated this year. The feast of fasting (Eid Ul Fitr ) will not come with Feast,Fun, Sharing, Caring and meeting our loved ones. But we still make it happier by doing our part in helping the weaker sections of the society which we must do. As a writer and poet I have celebrated this by writing this poem which I am sharing here. Happy Eid.     जब तेरी दीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Jab Teri Deed Na Hogi, Phir Eid, Eid Eid Na Hogi. रात में तनहा चाँद का दीदार तो हो जाएगा, मुबारक़बाद देने को मगर मोहल्ला न चिल्लाएगा, चाँद रात पर जब ज़रूरी ख़रीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Raat Mein Tanha Chand Ka Deedar To Ho Jaega, Mubarakbad Dene Ko Magar Mohalla Na Chillaega, Chand Raat Par Jab Zaroori Kharid Na Hogi,  Phir Eid, Wo

Zameen Pe Jannat - #SaveKashmir  Some temporary sections of #Artcle370 revoked by central government and our relation with Jammu and Kashmir changed. I am not talking about the geographical changes of dividing it into two union territories but confining of Kashmiri people into their homes. More than 25 days has passed and Kashmir is under curfew without proper schooling, shops are shut, no internet,television, landline, newspaper,media reporting blockade any means of communication with mainland India is blocked. I am writing after a long gap and this issue has provoked me to pen this poem which I am sharing here.  वो ज़मीन पे जन्नत जहाँ इंसान बास्ते हैं, अपनों की सुनने को आज जो आवाज़ तरसते हैं, सियासत की ज़ंजीरों में जकड़े हुए हैं, आँखों में आंसूं भी पकडे हुए हैं, रोकर भी अपने ग़म किसको दिखाएं, बंदूकों की दीवार के पीछे खड़े हैं।  Woh Zameen Pe Jannat Jahan Insaan Baste Hain, Apno Ki Sunne Ko Aaj Jo Aawaaz Taraste Hain, Siyasat Ki Zanjeeron Mein Jakd

रंगो का त्यौहार - होली ! Holi is celebrated as festival of communal harmony in which Muslim friends are also invited in 'Holi Milan Samarohs' (Holi festival gatherings) and all enjoyed collectively. The practice has not vanished but is limited to few people and in few areas from last four to five years when animosity among the communities has increased due to 'Us' vs 'Them' politics. In this poem I wish the festival of color and joy bring happiness to all equally again. Happy Holi.   रंगो का ये त्यौहार, इस बार, दुःख-दर्द सारे ले कर जाये, नफ़रतें जो बढ़ रही हैं, उन्हें मिटाए।  Rango Ka Ye Tyohar, Iss Baar, Dukh-Dard Sare Le Kar Jaye, Nafratein Jo Bad Rahi Hain, Unhe Mitaye. गुंजियों की मिठास इस बार, करें चमतकार, देश के होते हुए भी जो हैं गद्दार, उनके सवालों के जवाब मिल जाएं, आये करार।  Gunjiyon Ki Mithas Iss Baar, Karein Chamatkaar, Desh Ke Hote Hue Bhi Jo Hain Gaddar, Unke Sawalon Ke Jawab Mil Jayein,  Aaye Kar

हिंदुस्तान बनाया।  Republic Day of India celebrates its togetherness in diversity. The constitution of India gives equality and liberty to all its citizen on 26th January 1950. I have written a small Hindi poem to show this feeling and celebrate this day. Happy Republic Day.  टुकड़ों में बटा हुआ था हमने मिलकर इसे बनाया।  घायल ज़मीं के ज़ख्मों को मिलकर मरहम है लगाया।  सारी भुलाकर जात-धर्म सबने सबको अपनाया।  संघर्षों ने सैकड़ों के है ये हिंदुस्तान बनाया।  ####### Tukdon Mein Bata Hua Tha Humne Milkar Ise Banaya. Ghayal Zamin Ke Zakhmon Ko Milkar Marham Hai Lagaya. Saari Bhulakar Jaat-Dharm Sabne Sabko Apnaya. Sangharson Ne Saikdon Ke Hai Ye Hindustan Banaya. #######

क्या खोया क्या पाया जग में ! (Kya Khoya Kya Paya Jag Mein) What Has Lost and Earned In The World - Atal Bihari Vajpayee Apart from great orator, a statesman and a gentleman former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was also a great poet. He died on 16th August 2018 in AIIMS Hospital , Delhi. His ' kavita ' shows his philosophies, courage and determinations. In this poem he was valuing his life by calculating what he has lost and earned in the journey. I have tried to translate it there so that it can reach a wider audience. We all pray for him to get the best place in heaven. RIP Bharat Ratna   Atal Bihari Vajpayee.  क्या खोया क्या पाया जग में, मिलते और बिछड़ते मग में, मुझे किसी से नहीं शिक़ायत, यद्द्पि छला गया पग पग में।  Kya Khoya Kya Paya Jag Mein Milte Aur Bichadte Mag Mein Mujhe Kisi Se Nahin Shikayat Yadyapi Chal Gaya Pag Pag Mein.

मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? (Mein Kyun Likhta Hun?) I often asked this question to myself that why I write when I don't have many readers?  Not only on blog but in real life also those who know I write stories/poem never complain when I don't write. When I keep things to myself ? When I pour untold emotions in my writing no one ever noticed but I have no regrets and I have some other reasons to write which I better keep to myself. Here just sharing questions which comes in my mind in form of a Hindi poem.   जब कोई पढ़ता नहीं, किसी बात का दुनिया पर असर पड़ता नहीं, किसी का दिल सिसकता नहीं, कोई भी कभी तड़पता नहीं, तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? Jab Koi Padta Nahin, Kisi Baat Ka Duniya Par Asar Padta Nahin, Kisi Ka Dil Sisakta Nahin, Koi Bhi Kabhi Tadapta Nahin, To Phir Mein Kyun Likhta Hun? किसी को भी मेरी बात पर जब हसीं आती नहीं, कोई बात भी तो मेरी नई सोच जगती नहीं, चुपके से दिल धड़काती नहीं, कोई आग भड़काती नहीं, तो फिर मैं क्यूँ लिखता हूँ ? Kisi Ko

I hope this 'Kavita ' and its translation will be liked by all of you.  मिल जाता काले अंजन में सन्ध्या की आँखों का राग, जब तारे फैला फैलाकर सूने में गिनता आकाश।  Mil Jata Kale Anjan Mein, Sandhya Ki Aankho Ka Rag, Jab Tare Faila Failakar, Sune Mein Ginta Aakash. Mixed in the black kohl evening's eyes melody, when spreading stars sky counts when lonely. उसकी खोई सी चाहों में घुट कर मूक हुई आहों में! Uski Khoi Si Chaho Mein, Ghut Kar Mook Hui Aaho Mein! In his lost desires high, In silently choked sigh! झूम झूम कर मतवा

हम चुप रहेंगे ! (Hum Chup Rahenge!) We Will Remain Silent! This is the high time we must speak. If not walk on roads, or in candle light marches, we at least should vent out our anger so that people who are ruling as must know that we can't tolerate it any more. Recently so many rape incidents has stirred the nation be it rape and murder of 8 year old in Kathua, Unnao rape where victims father was killed, Assam rape, Surat gang rape again with a minor, Siwan (Bihar ) rape of a deaf and dumb girl and there may be more which are not reported with the fear that nothing will achieved by reporting the incident. I have penned this Hindi poem which summed up our society's attitude to rape and rape incidents. लूट रहीं हैं आबरू तो लूटें, हम चुप रहेंगे! पिंघल रही है मासूम बच्चियां तो पिंघलें, हम चुप रहेंगे! Lut Rahi Hain Aabru To Lute, Hum Chup Rahenge! Pinghal Rahin Hain Massom Bachchiyan To Pinghlein, Hum Chup Rahenge! हम देखेंगे पहले की उसका धर्म क्य

इस मिट्टी में मिट जाना है। (Iss Mitti Mein Mit Jana Hai) 'Iss Mitti Mein Mil Jana Hai' is voice of those Indians namely Muslims and Dalits who are treated as second class citizen nowadays. They are as much part of the nation building as any other citizen of India and didn't need any proof of their patriotism. Amid increase incidents of violence against Dalits & Muslims by Gau Rakshaks this Hindi Kavita authenticate their attachment with India. On this Independence Day we must cherish our unity and deny any force trying to fill hatred in us. Happy Independence Day.  इस मिट्टी में जीना है, इस मिट्टी में मिट जाना है, कोई चाहे या न चाहे मुझे तेरा साथ निभाना है।   Is Mitti Mein Jina Hai, Iss Mitti Mein Mar Jana Hai, Koi Chahe Ya Na Chahe Mujhe Tera Saath Nibhana Hai. एक नज़्म नहीं, एक रस्म नहीं,  एक वेश नहीं, एक भोजन नहीं, क्या मुझको सुनाना है, क्या मुझको खाना है, ये बताने वालों ने न अपना रिश्ता जाना है।  Ek Nazm Nahin, Ek Rasm Nahin, Ek Vesh Nahi

तू हयात का सवेरा है। (Tu Hayaat Ka Savera Hai) Mothers are that light of the god which fulfills His void in our life. Without teachings of mother you will not even know about god. Even though every day is dedicated to mothers, on this special day we would cherish our mothers more. Happy Mothers Day. तू ज़मीन है, तू ही उजाला है, प्यार ने तेरे ही हमको पाला है, मैं तो मिट्टी का खांमखां सा टुकड़ा था, इस रूप-रंग में तूने ही ढला है। Tu Zameen Hai, Tu Hi Ujala Hai, Pyaar Ne Tere Hi Humko Pala Hai, Mein To Mitti Ka Khamankhan Sa Tukda Tha, Iss Roop-Rang Mein Tune Dhala Hai. तू ही हयात का सवेरा है, महफूज़ हूँ, तेरे आँचल ने मुझको घेरा है, होना खुदा का तो मुझे मालूम नहीं, मेरे घर में तो तेरा बसेरा है।  Tu Hi Hayaat Ka Savera Hai, Mehfooz Hun, Tere Aanchal Ne Mujhko Ghera Hai, Hona Khuda Ka To Mujhe Maloom Nahin, Mere Ghar Mein To Tera Basera Hai. ####### उजाला ( Ujala )  - Light  ;   खांमखां ( Khamankhan) - Useless  ;    हयात (Hayaat) - Life

First They Came For - Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) Today I am sharing 'First They Came For ' - the statement of a German pastor Martin Neimoller which is often regarded as a poem. This has become the tool of stating cowardice of elite,influential and intellectual class. In last two-three years it is widely quoted in the Indian and world context also when people supported brutalities on marginalized like refugees, Muslims, minorities, etc. Here I have also shared my Hindi rendition of a poem inspired by this one. First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. मैं चुप था ! ( Mein Chup Tha) वो घर गरीबों के जलाकर हंस रहे थे, मेरा घर बचा था, मैं चुप था। 

प्यार की राह चुने। (Pyaar Ki Raah Chune) Season of love starts with valentine week i.e the various days denoted to express your feelings for somebody. Feb 7 is Rose Day, Feb 8 is Propose Day then comes Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and finally Valentine Day from 9th to 14th February respectively. I believe that love needs no day to express but in the popular culture if we have a dedicated day for it enjoy it fully with your loved one. Here in this Hindi poem there is a conversation between a boy and a girl of expressing their love for each other. They think that the world and the society always remain against those who love so they must unite without thinking about anybody but only about their love. They decided to walk on the path of love leaving hatred aside. I hope you will enjoy this poem. Happy Valentine Day.   प्रेमी (Premi) : तेरी बाँहों में आराम मिले, न इससे भला कोई काम मिले, दुनिया को भुलाये बैठा हूँ, तेरी यादों में खोया रहता हूँ। 

एक और साल बीत गया। Ek Aur Saal Beet Gaya. 2016 is almost over and we are ready to welcome new year 2017. The past year has given us more bad experiences than the good ones. Like the deaths of our soldiers in Pathankot-Uri attacks, suicide of Rohith Vemula , disappearance of Najeeb Ahmad , Anti-national row,  Jat quota stir during which Delhi's water supply affected, Panama Papers,  Kashmir Unrest , world problems like Brexit confusion, Trump victory, Yemen-Aleppo attacks, several racial attacks in America and demonetization in India. Winning in Rio, reaching apex at Cricket, Isro's achievement are some things to cherish. The coming year is near, I hope this would bring happiness in our lives and peace in the world. I have tried to compile all events of the year in this Hindi poem. Happy New Year 2017 to all .   बीत गया-बीत गया एक फ़साना बीत गया, खुशियों की धुन का, ग़म का तराना बीत गया।  Beet Gaya- Beet Gaya Ek Fasana Beet Gaya, Khushiyon Ki Dhun Ka, Gham

एक दिया जलाते हैं। Ek Diya Jalate Hain (Lets Light A Candle) Diwali is a festival of light which not only mean to enlighten our lives but to spread that shine and happiness in the life of others. Lets share our joy with the deprived people of our society, with our soldiers who guard us even when we celebrate festivals, with our farmers who give us food when their own homes are devoid of it. This Diwali Light A Candle for them (remember them/care for them) in your celebrations. Jai Jawan Jai Kisan .  Happy Diwali वो जो अंधेरों में अपनी ज़िंदगियां बिताते हैं, वो जो घरों से दूर होकर भी मुस्कुराते हैं, वो जो देश की ख़ातिर जीते और मर जाते हैं, इस दफा एक दिया उनके लिए जलाते हैं।  Wo Jo Andheron Mein Apni Zindagi Bitate Hain, Wo Jo Gharon Se Door Hokar Bhi Muskurate Hain, Wo Jo Desh Ki Khatir Jeete Aur Mar Jaate Hain, Is Dafa Ek Diya Unke Liye Jalate Hain. Who spend their lives in darkness, Who smiles even in homesickness, Who live & die for country's progress, Lets
