... nd aftr read some strong feelings develop in my mind...so i want to share a poem with u
Sundar hai jag me sabse, naam bhi
nayara hai
Woh desh hamara hai, woh desh
hamara hai
Jaha jati-bhasha se badh kar Desh-
Prem ki dhara hai
Woh desh hamara hai, woh desh
hamara hai
Jita tha prem se sabko, hai "Baapu" us
ka naam
Desh ke khatir jisne kiya apna jeewan
balidan
Jaha pe vir Bhagat, Azad aur "Bose" ka
nara hai
Woh desh hamara hai, woh desh
hamara hai
Jaha pe "Suraj" puja aur nadion me
mata Ganga
Chandrama pe lahraya jisne apna
dhwaj "TIRANGA",
Vishv ko jisne ZERO dekar kiya navyug
ka ujiyara hai,
Woh desh hamara hai, woh desh
hamara hai
Jo sadion se aaj bhi har rishte se pyara
hai
Sincha jisko khun se humne aur
mamta se sawara hai
Jaha Ajuba hai vishv ka, kehlata "TAJ"
humara hai
Woh desh hamara hai, woh desh
hamara hai
Jis desh ko "Mata" keh ke hum sab ne
diya samman
Wo hai Bharat desh mahan, wo hai
Bharat desh mahan

Really liking this Ghazal these days.. This is really true.. May God bless the soul of this poet. Hope you all like it.


Iss se pahle ke bevafaa ho jaayein
Kyon na ai dost ham judaa ho jaayein
Tuu bhi heere se ban gayaa patthar
Ham bhii kal kyaa se kyaa ho jaayein
Ham bhi majabuuriyon kaa uzr karein
Aur kahiin aur mubtalaa ho jaayein
Ishq bhii khel hai nasiibon kaa
Khaak ho jaayein kimiyaa ho jaayein
Ab ke gar tuu mile to ham tujh se
Aise lipatein terii qabaa ho jaayein
Bandagii ham ne chhod dii hai 'Faraz'
Kyaa karein log jab khudaa ho jaayen

Duty to Our Flag

Less hate and greed
Is what we need
And more of service true;
More men to love
The flag above
And keep it first in view.

Less boast and brag
About the flag,
More faith in what it means;
More heads erect,
More self-respect,
Less talk of war machines.

The time to fight
To keep it bright
Is not along the way,
Nor' cross the foam,
But here at home
Within ourselves today.

'Tis we must love
That flag above
With all our might and main;
For from our hands
Not distant lands
Shall come dishonor's stain.

If that flag be
Dishonored, we
Have done it not the foe;
If it shall fall,
We, first of all,
Shall have to strike the blow
