Mera Watan Jab Hai Jal Raha

Mera watan jab hai jal raha…
Mombattiyan Woh jalate hain…
Iss bheed mein chalne wale hee…
Shaam ko mahkhane chalkate hain…

raftar ne inki kitno ko kuchla hai
yeh nashe main rehne wale bhi
aaj ek mombatti jalayenge
aur saam ko phir kisi ko kuchal jayenge
suraj se nahi, yeh sach se darte hain
ankhon par kala chasma lagaye rakte hain
sms aur e-mail kar kar ke
kranti lana woh chahate hain
Mera watan jab hai jal raha
mombattiyan woh jalate hain

cheepe kone mein camere ki aad mein
dyaan se dekho narbhakshi hain baithe
main phele-main phele, main sab se tez
laashoon par mic liye jhapat rahe aadamkhor
yeh toh bejaan jismoon ke bhi lete hain views
dard bhi bechte hain bana ke breaking news
khandar bane sheher ki tasveerein
exclusive woh batlate hain
Mera watan jab hai jal raha
moombatiyan woh jalate hain

sheher mera yeh jab jalta hai
har koi tabhi kyu jagta hai
ab jagne wale shanth sheher mein sote the
scandels aur gappein hooton par liye hote the
yeh aatank hai koi cricket ka khel nahi
kayi sau jaane gayi hain, yeh koi score nahi
bhoot preth ki baatein karte the jo
aaj nayak apne ko kehelwate hain
Mera watan jab hai jal raha
moombatiyan woh jalate hain

kal koi safed kapde pehenega
jis kone mein sheher mera hara tha
kal bheed liye koi wahan puchega
jo ho chukka uss par baaten-sawaal karenge
Caravan tod phir sab wapas chal denge
sadak par pigla moom paeron ke neeche kho jayega
mahkhane phir se lag jayenge
par main janta hoon
jab mera watan phir woh jaleyege
yeh log aur moombatiyan le aayenge

poetically not a perfect poem i felt..(tho i am no appropriate authority to judge that).. but emotionally.. PERFECT!! what you think, what u feels, ur anger, anguish.. all comes across straight from the heart.. it makes u think.. n that is d best part.. talkin about terrorism, being patriotic is all trendy n chic these days.. now dat high profile areas were under attack dese ppl woke up.. its been 2 months n d tragedy is well forgotten.. ppl belonging to a certain part of society fail to look beyond their tiny paradises... (no wonder, many of them resent Slumdog) wen 2006 blasts happened, it wuz ordinary ppl who died, so for them no point mourning over that.. neither did anyone bother to go to VT.. ppl hav gold fish memories now.. events happen n evryone starts reactin thinking their chance to do an RDB.. dun even understand d movie i'm sure.. a while later evrythg is forgotten.. n things go on hteir normal route..
btw.. wat r the candle-marchers doin now.. party hoppin??
