जले ये मशाल तो जले...

चलो मिलकर साथ चले, जले ये मशाल तो जले,

अन्धकार की राह में, जले ये मशाल तो जले,

अश्को की चिंगारी को, हमदर्दी के अंगारों को,

एक मंज़िल एक दिशा देती, जले ये मशाल तो जले,

 

सब्र करना सहन करना एक चूक होगी,

सहम के डर डर के जीना एक भूल होगी,

जवाब छुपा है कहीं, उन दबी आवाज़ों के तले,

लहलहाती आवाज़ों के साथ, जले ये मशाल तो जले,

 

हौसले बुलंद हो और आग में अमन हो,

लो कसम के ना किसी का अब दमन हो,

जन्नत सी इस ज़मीन पे अपनो का प्यार पले,

इंसानियत को रोशन करती, जले ये मशाल तो जले...

Not sure what prompted this verse, but if its the recent Delhi incident that sparked this, what a price to pay to light the torch .

As usual love your poetry. I struggle to catch every meaning, given my atrocious Hindi, but usually I get your gist. This time I am not sure !

My Hindi will improve if you blog regularly :)

@ Ramesh - you are right about what prompted me to write this. And what a sadistic price! :(

The point that I make is that let this torch burn to the least and not sporadically, but in continuum... most of the times, this torch is not even burning, leave alone sporadically. However, I do believe that radical changes need radical revolutions!

I wish I could write 2-3 posts everyday. Really feel blessed that you take out time to come on this space! :)
