A Lively Dialogue With 26th January(India's Republic Day)


MK.SHERWANI:

Before I pay my tribute to your dignity,
Before I offer my deference to your solemnity;
May I stir your conscience, Oh ! 26th January !
With a mind in turmoil, and heart sunk in purity.
Are you the same, which fifty nine years ago,
Gave a sacred script to the nation's posterity;
That showed to all sections, faiths and creeds,
A beautiful dream of justice and equality.

26,JANUARY:

Like a captive, with my soul writhing in pain,
I was long waiting for a person of your integrity;
Your voice is pious, your emotions are clean,
Open your bosom! I will show you my veracity.

MK.SHERWANI

The rich, with their wealth, exploiting the poor,
The weak collapsing under the power's brutality;
The impoverished dying of hunger and suicide,
Is it all happening under your name and authority.?
Behind the gorgeous display of missiles and guns,
You make a vain attempt to hide your falsity;
With resounding trumpets of glory and progress ,
You disguise the RULERS' vices and criminality.

26,JANUARY

Your words are truthful, your agonies are genuine,
To my enemies, they may sound a rebel's audacity;
I am the repository of your aspirations and hopes,
Beyond all doubts are my honesty and probity.
Emerging from the graves and ashes of my martyrs,
I was inspired by their sacrifice and humility;
Those whom I believed and trusted have betrayed me,
My infancy became a curse, my innocence, a fatuity;
But still I confide in you, Oh The son of my soil!
The secret of my birth, and the words of sagacity;
It was the blood of the poor that brought my dawn,
The blood of the poor will feed me till my maturity.
These tremors and quakes will bring an era ,
For the weak and deprived to bask in sublimity;
With oppression, crime and corruption gone,
They will joyfully sing the song of eternal verity.
'Sare jahan se achchha Hindostan hamara,
Ham bulbulein hein iskee, yeh gulsitan hamara.

------------ --------- --------- --------- ----

Mazhab naheen sikhata apus mein beir rakhna,
Hindi hein hum, vatan hei Hindostan hamara.'

' Iqbal'

( From my poetry book 'Voice of Heart')
