Stand up for Peace, Fight against Terrorism


Hi all,

This is a heartfelt poem that I wrote in Hindi language. The poem has a social message to fight Terrorism and spread Peace around the world.  Read on...


Topic : Stand up for Peace, Fight against Terrorism

Prelude of the song:

Purab mein Surya uga, jaag gaya sab jahaan,
Neend samaapth, din jaag uttha yahaan,

Chorus :
Man ek विप्लव (means pandemonium) mein kho gaya,
युद्ध कष्ट ke भय  mein rone laga, 
Par phir एक बार Dil ne साहस se kaha :
"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan "

Meaning of the Prelude of the song :
The Sun rose from the East, the universe woke up,
Sleep ended, a new day is born,

Repeat Chorus :
Mind is lost in a pandemonium,
The misery of a war, has made my mind cry,
But yet again, my heart sings with courage :
“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Verse 1 :
बच्चे na बुज़ुर्ग ka आतंकवादियों ne khayal kiya,
रक्त मेरी आँखों से  bharpoor बहने laga,
में समझ नहीं पाया, itni kyon hai मुश्किल,
प्यार की भाषा bolna, jo बात कर sake हर दिल.
Kyun yeh ladna? bas karo yeh jhagadna!
जीवन के तट ko paar sabhi ko hai karna. 

Repeat Chorus:
Man ek विप्लव (means pandemonium) mein kho gaya,
युद्ध कष्ट ke भय mein rone laga, 
Par phir एक बार Dil ne साहस se kaha :
"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan"


 Meaning  of  Verse 1:
Neither children nor old people, did the terrorists care for,
Blood bled from my eyes wholesomely (seeing this),
I couldn’t understand why it is so difficult,
To speak the language of love, that each heart can speak.
Why this war ? Stop this fighting!
Everyone has to cross the ocean of life.

Repeat Chorus :
Mind is lost in a pandemonium,
The misery of a war, has made my mind cry,
But yet again, my heart sings with courage :
“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Verse 2:
दिल में दया ho, aur drshtikon (approach) mein माफी ho, 
To  dil mein jagaa sakte hein , pyaar ki  prerna ko.
Khushi  baantkar , pyaar  ke deep jalaakar, 
Banaayenge is duniya ko haseen, muskuraakar, 
मजबूत विश्वास के साथ, tyaag नफ़रत ka hum karenge, 
Phir ubharenge rishtey, jo jeevan ka jashn manaayenge. 

Repeat Chorus: 
Phir Man ek विप्लव mein na rahega,
युद्ध कष्ट ke भय mein nahin rone lagega, 
Phir एक बार Dil  ne साहस se kaha :
"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan"
 
Meaning of  Verse 2:
If there is compassion in the heart and forgiveness in approach,
Then the inspiration of love, can rise in the heart.
By spreading happiness, and lighting lamps of love,
We shall build a beautiful world, with smiles, 
With strong faith, we shall renounce hatred,
And then shall emerge relationships, that will celebrate life.

Repeat Chorus : 
Then the mind will not be in a pandemonium,
The misery of war will not make my mind cry,
Yet again, my heart sings with courage :
“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Loneliness - finding the "Hero" within


Hi all,

Posting this poem that I had written several years back. I found it today and posted it.
Read on...


ð My head isn’t working and you, Loneliness,  are the cause
For a reason so very vague that I stand and pause
To question the credibility of my plight so sour
Soaring up ambiguity’s ladder by every ticking hour.

ð Once it was you who helped me discover
The “HERO” in myself and uncover,
All my strengths buried in the depth of my person
Encouraging me to emerge as a lovely person.

ð At that time, you were my inspiration
Strengthening my hopes and boosting my aspirations
But I hardly realized when you the Great Mistress
Of darkness showered your inevitable shadow of distress.

ð Many a time, it is precarious to climb to the cliff-top
It is only the brave souls who make it to the top.
Nothing should shatter the spirit within
And crying over one’s fate would amount to a sin.

ð So take the sailor's advice,
Whose yacht was once sailing strong and nice.
Suddenly a storm beat him black and blue
But he would not let go of his yacht so true.

ð Neither black clouds, lightening, thunder nor rain,
Could shatter this man's spirit, his body all in pain.
Finally God's merciful grace, cleared the skies, so dark,
Enabling him reach his destination and leave his mark
Of determination, courage, perseverance and bravery,
Thus leaving a golden trail so unremarkably.

ð So keep trying till you achieve your goal,
Keep having faith in your beliefs and your soul.
For deep inside sleeping, lies a "HERO" in you,
Waiting to be awoken when you realise the "HERO" is you!!
