Har haath main mazhub kay parcham
Har aaNkh main wehshat ka junooN
Lub pay haiN nafratoN kay sholay
KhyaaloN pay ik aawaaraa fusooN
Ik zehar ka baadal fazaa pay chaayaa hai
Khumaar-e-ghaphlat phir zehanoN pay aayaa hai
Har nighaah main bus ik swaal ki bu
Hindu ki aulaad hai ya muslim hai tu
Tarak subnay kiyay viraasat kay khazaanay
Woh Nanak ki wehdat Kabir kay taraanay
KahiN talwaaraiN to kahiN trishool aayaay
SadioN ki pehchaanaiN sub bhool aayaay
Bhai ko bhai kay qatl ki pyaas
NamooN har samt yahi ghurbat-e-ahsaas
Lahu phir apnay hi lahu say laraa hai
Waqt phir sehmaa saa ik aur ja kharaa hai
Abhi to bhray bhi na thay Zakhm tam_ddun kay
Abhi to bhoolay bhi na thay woh aleel ayaam
DariNda insaaN main uthaa tha yeh abhi kal ki baat hai
Aadam khud bika tha yeh abhi kal ki baat hai
Aur aaj phir utraa hai afreet-e-wehshat
Aur phir say lagaayay hai chehraa mazhub ka
Phir say hai hujoomoN pay ik shauq-e-bekaar
Phir say banaa mazhub bahaanaa nafrat ka
I think just because we have given up the right to think for ourselves to these so-called sentries of our religions,that is why there is so much misery all over. These people who have a very narrow vision n a falso sense of supermacy dictate our consciences also.I only request thru my poems that we should start thinking for ourselves and say NO to all what is going on in the name of our religions which are so great in themselves.I have spoken openly against such people in my own religion also.The religion of my birth had been hijacked by these fanatics and murder n what not was being glorified in the name of religion.I storngly oppse this.And I think it is the function of an artist to be the conscience of his time and not become just a composer of politically correct arrangement of attractive words.
I ask readers to give their feedback about it,if I am wrong.All my poetry is the message of Humanity,always.
Another lovely piece Brijinder :k: I strongly suspect that this gathering, excuse me if I offend someone, is not mature enough to measure the depth of your thinking. Just amazing Thanx for sharing
Thanx a ton,Amal,for believing in my vision of humanity when almost everyone in all relegions are busy singing the somgs of their own supermacy.had they been born in some other relegion,they would be doing the same there as well.Just to a pack of the herd.
I cry for the jes killed in holocaust as well as I cry for the innocent muslims being killed in Lebnon.My hear also bleeds for the Tutsis being murdered in rwanda,muslims n croats n albanians killed in former yugoslavia.
thanx once again.
Rabia,this kind of very warm appreciation is a reward initself for the poem.If it is able to start a very honest n sonetimes brutal introspection about our own beliefs,Prejudices n conditioning,then it will be its highest reward.
Thanx once again,Rabia.
Thanx for sharing
