ईश्वर तेरी इस दुनिया में….

यूँ कब तक जीते जायें हम ?

और जलते हुए इन रस्तों पर​….

यूँ गीत कहाँ तक गायें हम ?

कठपुतलियों के इन शहरों में-

इन्सां को कौन पूछता है ?

इन आग लगाने वालों में-

सावन को कौन पूछता है ?

अब इन्द्रधनुष के रंगों में-

सिर्फ़ लाल रंग क्यूँ दिखता है ?

इन गीतों की इस सरगम में-

क्यूँ चीत्कार सा सुनता है ?

चुभते हुए इन काँटों में-

फूल देख कब तक मुस्कायें हम ?

ईश्वर तेरी इस दुनिया में….

यूँ कब तक जीते जायें हम ?

जहाँ रक्षक ही तो भक्षक है-

और चोर ही बन गया प्रहरी है,

जहाँ भेस बदल कर दानव ही

देखो देवदूत-सा दिखता है

और शैतान भी शर्मा जायेगा,

जब अपने मुँह से वो कहता है-

“जो होता है वो होने दो !

जो रोता है उसे रोने दो !”

तपते हुए इस घायल दिल पर​—–

चाँदनी का मरहम कब तक लगायें हम ?

ईश्वर तेरी इस दुनिया में….

यूँ कब तक जीते जायें हम ?

म​णि

Ishwar teri is duniya mein….

Yun kab tak jeete jaayein hum ?

Aur jalte hue in raston par….

Yun geet kahaan tak gaayein hum ?

Kathputliyon ke in sheharon mein-

Insaan ko kaun poochhta hai?

In aag lagaane waalon mein-

Saawan ko kaun poochhta hai?

Ab indradhanush ke rangon mein-

Sirf laal rang kyun dikhta hai?

In geeton ki is sargam mein-

Kyun cheetkaar sa sunta hai?

Chubhte hue in kaanton mein-

Phool dekh kab tak muskaayein hum?

Ishwar teri is duniya mein….

Yun kab tak jeete jaayein hum ?

Jahaan rakshak hi to bhakshak hai,

Aur chor hi ban gaya prehari hai,

Jahaan bhes badal kar daanav hi-

Dekho, Devdoot-sa dikhta hai

Aur shaitaan bhi sharmaa jaayega,

Jab apne munh se wo kehta hai-

“Jo hota hai wo hone do!

Jo rota hai use rone do!”

Tapte hue is ghaayal dil par,

Chaandni ka marham kab tak lagaayein hum?

Ishwar teri is duniya mein….

Yun kab tak jeete jaayein hum ?

The English translation of these lines are as follows-

O God! In this world of yours….

Till when do I live in this way?

On these burning paths…..

Till when do I sing songs this way?

In these cities of puppets-

Who cares about humans?

Amongst those who want to start a fire-

Who cares about the rains?

Now in the colours of rainbow-

Why do I see only the red colour?

In the notations of these songs-

Why do I hear heart-rending cries ?

Amongst these piercing thorns-

Till when do I see the flowers and smile?

O God! In this world of yours….

Till when do I live in this way?

Where the protector himself is the predator,

And thief himself has become the sentinel

Where demon has guised himself-

And looks like a Godsent angel

And the Devil himself will be embarrassed,

When he utters these foul-mouthed words-

“Whatever happens,Let it happen!

Whoever cries, Let him cry!”

On this fevered and wounded heart of mine…

Till when do I apply moonlight as the medication?

O God! In this world of yours….

Till when do I live in this way?

‘Zindagi Pyaar Ka Geet Hai’ is a song originally rendered by Lataji for the movie ‘Souten’….I have combined the song with a few lines I wrote about Life….the lines and the English translation are given below……
Bulbule-si ye zindagi….
…..Life just like a bubble

Pal-pal kitne roop badalti-
…..Every moment, changing faces

Kabhie to saare rangon se chhalak uthati,
…..Sometimes spills over with all the colours

Kabhie sirf saleti-si reh jaati
……Sometimes is left coloured only in greys

Ek hi pal…phool mehek uthate,
……One moment,flowers spread their fragrance

Man gaa uthate, hanste-khelte, ithalaate
…..Hearts sing,dance and play with happiness

Dooje hi pal…muskaata chand pheeka-sa ho jaata
…..Next moment,the smiling moon fades away

Raat ke ghane andhkaar mein na jaane kahan gum ho jaata
…..And disappears in the deep darkness of night

Kabhie shaant nadi-si behti jaati
…..Sometimes, flows on like a peaceful river

Kabhie ek aandhi sab tehes-nehes kar jaati
…..At other times, a storm wreaks havoc

Kabhie saare jawaab de…hairaan kar jaati
….Surprises sometimes by giving answers to all the questions

To kabhie khud hi ek sawaal ban jaati
…..At other times, becomes a question itself

Bulbule-si ye zindagi…..
…. Life just like a bubble

Bas abhi thi aur abhi nahin
….Just now was there and next moment no more

Kabhie aansoo kabhie hansi bankar-
….Becomes a tear in a moment and laughter in another

Kathputli-sa sabko nachaati
….Makes everyone dance like a puppet

Bulbule-si ye zindagi…….
….Life just like a bubble Mani

Lyrics of the song and english translation are as follows……

(Zindagi Pyaar Ka Geet Hai
ise Har Dil Ko Gaana Padega) -2
….Life is a song of love That every heart will have to sing
zindagi Gham Ka Sagar Bhi Hai
….Life is also an ocean of sorrow

hanske Us Paar Jaana Padega
….which everyone has to cross smiling

jis Ka Jitna Ho Aanchal Yahaan Par
….Whatever one’s capacity

us Ko Saugaat Utni Milegi
….Gifts are bestowed on him accordingly

la La La, La La La, La La La La La La La~

jis Ka Jitna Ho Aanchal Yahaan Par
….Whatever one’s capacity

us Ko Saugaat Utni Milegi
….Gifts are bestowed on him accordingly

phool Jeevan Mein Gar Na Khile To
….If flowers do not bloom in life

kaanton Se Bhi Nibhaana Padega
….One may have to get on with thorns too

zindagi Pyaar Ka Geet Hai
ise Har Dil Ko Gaana Padega
….Life is a song of love That every heart will have to sing
hai Agar Door Manzil To Kya
….How does it matter if the destination is far-off

raasta Bhi Hain Mushkil To Kya
…..How does it matter if the path is difficult

la La La, La La La, La La La La La La La~

hai Agar Door Manzil To Kya
….How does it matter if the destination is far-off

raasta Bhi Hain Mushkil To Kya
…..How does it matter if the path is difficult
raat Taaron Bhari Na Mile To
….If one does not get a starlit sky

dil Ka Deepak Jalaana Padega
…..Then light a lamp in your heart

zindagi Pyaar Ka Geet Hai
ise Har Dil Ko Gaana Padega
….Life is a song of love That every heart will have to sing

zindagi Ek Paheli Bhi Hai
….Life is also a riddle

sukh Dukh Ki Saheli Bhi Hai
….is also a friend in happiness and sorrow

la La La, La La La, La La La La La La La~

zindagi Ek Paheli Bhi Hai
….Life is also a riddle

sukh Dukh Ki Saheli Bhi Hai
….is also a friend in happiness and sorrow
zindagi Ek Wachan Bhi To Hai
….Life is also a promise

jise Sab Ko Nibhaana Padega
…..That everyone will have to fulfill

zindagi Pyaar Ka Geet Hai
ise Har Dil Ko Gaana Padega
….Life is a song of love That every heart will have to sing
zindagi Gham Ka Sagar Bhi Hai
hanske Us Paar Jaana Padega
….Life is also an ocean of sorrow That everyone has to cross smiling

Dedicating these thoughts to everyone everywhere in India and the whole world who stands up and fights for truth and justice…..

 

कितने मुँह तुम बंद करोगे ?
कितनों को तुम रोकोगे ?
सत्य की इस आवाज़ पर अब तुम-
– कितनी मिट्टी डालोगे ?

राम-कृष्ण के भारत में….
अधर्म का राज्य नहीं होगा !
हम सबकी पावन धरती पर….
भ्रष्टाचार का साम्राज्य नहीं होगा !

खाली हाथ हम आये थे,
और खाली हाथ ही जायेंगे !
पर लगता है जब तुम जाओगे-
ये सारी कमाई…ऊपर रख ले जाओगे!

पलंग सोने के नहीं चाहिये…
प्यारी हमें चारपाई है !
देश की मिट्टी नहीं बेचनी…
दाल-रोटी हमें भाई है !

वर्षों से चुप इस जनता से-
अब और सहा नहीं जाता !
लुटती जननी को देख के-
अब चैन से रहा नहीं जाता !

बेबस हो, शांति के पुजारी ने…
सड़कों की राह आज पकड़ी है !
क्या करेंगे धरतीपुत्र और जब….
माँ बेड़ियों में जकड़ी है !

हम सबकी प्यारी इस मातृभूमि को-
अब तुम उजाड़ना बंद करो !
अपनी जननी के कोमल हृदय पर-
अन्याय के आघात अब बंद करो !

शहीदों के बलिदानों का….
सम्मान तो अब करना होगा !
असत्य के रास्ते को तजकर​…
सत्य की डगर चलना होगा !

ग़र धूप न हो, तो छाँव ही क्या ?
रात न हो, तो सुबह ही क्या ?
गुज़रने को तो ज़िंदगी गुज़र ही जाती है….
ठोकर न लगी तो रोज़ की इस
कदमताल का मज़ा ही क्या ?
ग़र आँसू नहीं तो मुस्कान ही क्या ?
सूखा न हो तो बारिश की बूँद भी क्या ?
ज़िंदगी के रास्ते अच्छा है ग़र आसां हों…..
पर मुश्किलें न हों, तो मंज़िल पा जाना ही क्या ?
जब निराशा नहीं तो आशा ही कैसी ?
और हार न हो तो जीत भी कैसी ?
आगे बढ़ते जाना अच्छा तो है मगर….
ज़मीं न देखी तो आसमां पा लेना ही क्या ?
मणि

The English translation of this poem is given below…..

If there is no Sun…..

Then what use is Shade?

What is morning without night?

Life keeps going on…..

But if one never stumbles….

What fun is there in this daily marchpast?

If no tears, then what is a smile worth?

If no draught, what is a drop of rain?

It is good if life’s paths are easy…….

But if there are no obstacles,

What is achieving one’s aim worth?

If no despair, then no hope

If no defeat, no victory….

It is good to keep on moving ahead but….

If one has not seen the land….

What is the use of reaching to the skies?

आत्मा में प्रज्वलित सत्य का प्रकाश हो 

सब अंधेरों को पराजित कर,

जैसे एक सूर्य सा उगता हो 

हम सबके छोटे छोटे ये शक्तिपुंज 

संपूर्ण ब्रह्मांड की अनंत, सत्य,

सुनहरी ऊर्जा मिलकर

जैसे ईश्वरीय शक्ति बन जाती हो 

विद्वत्तापूर्ण बातें नहीं 

केवल शुद्धता से परिपूर्ण हृदय 

जैसे उज्ज्वल दर्पण हो

जिसमें उस अनंत का

प्रतिबिम्ब दिख जाता हो

Let the soul light up with
the burning fire of truth
Defeating all darkness,
As if the Sun rises
Energy in each of us
combined with the
infinite, true, golden energy
of the entire universe
As if becomes
a divine powerful energy
No scholarly talks
Only a heart full of purity
Like a shining mirror
In which the reflection
of that infinite is visible

Kahin Kshetrawaad, kahin dharmonmaad,

Kahin bhaashawaad ka yuddh chhida,

Ab band karo, bas bahut hua

Ab Rashtrawaad ki baari hai!

Na tu Hindu hai , na hai Muslim,

Na Parsi, Sikh, Eesaai hai!

Is bantwaare se hum ghulaam hue,

Sada vipada desh par aayee hai!

Algaav-waad ki neeti se-

Jo Raajneeti chamkaate hain

Sab kaan kholkar weh sun lein-

Ab Raashtraneeti ki baari hai!

Tu na Marathi, na Punjabi,

Na hi tu Madrasi hai!

Rrin hai is desh ka bahut bada-

Bas tu ek Bharatwaasi hai!

Ekta mein Shakti hoti hai…..

Kitaabon mein to bahut padha:

Kewal padhna hi bahut hua-

Ab dikhlaane ki baari hai!

Ukhaad phekenge hum unko-

Jo Bharat ke tukde karte hain

Maharashtra, Assam, Kashmir mein rehne ka….

Har Bhartiya adhikaari hai!

Wahi hamaara asli Neta-

Jo Rashtrawaad ki baat kare

Jo Neta ban humko tode….

Wo Bhartiya nahin wo bahari hai!

BharatMaa ke chhalni seene ko

Dekhke bhi tu kab tak soyega?

Uth nidra se tu jaag zara….

Ranbheri ki taiyyaari hai!

Jis mitti mein tu janma hai,

Usse hai kaunsa dharm bada?

Hindu-Muslim bana tu phirta hai

Aisi bhi kya laachaari hai?

Kya is din ke liye Bhagat Singh phaansi chadhaa?

Azaad ne khaayee goli hai!

Ban Shoorveer ban Mahaveer

Kayarta tujh par bhaari hai!

Apne ghar mein hi tu darta hai

Aisa din ye hai kyun aaya?

Uth jaa teri Maa roti hai-

Uske tukde karne ki taiyyaari hai!

Ye jaan to ik din jaani hai-

Ise kab tak tu sambhaalega?

Mar gaya to Shaheed kehlaayega

Jeena-marna to jaari hai!

Chhod de Mandir-Masjid ko

Ye Desh hi Geeta-Quran hai!

Is jang mein shaamil hone ki-

Ab Ram-Rahim ki baari hai!

Hamaara karm bhi hai Bharat

Aur dharm hamaara bhi Bharat!

Hum sabne milkar thaan liya…

Ab Raashtradharm ki baari hai!

‘Jai Hind’ ‘Jai Bharat’
