Lost...


One of my favourite hindi poems. It beautifully highlights how India is losing out on brotherhood, love and peace-the very virtues on which this nation was founded. Here's some food for thought. So you know what to do, next time when they're out to trigger another riot...

                                        Gawan Baithe

Masjid to bana liya humne
Sirf imaan gawan baithe
Mandir to bacha liya lad bhid kar

Kewal bhagwan gawan baithe                                                                   

Dharti ko naap liya humne
Chand sitaron tak pahunch gaye
Poori kayanat ko pehchaan liya humne
Bus insaan gawan baithe

Aur jab-jab dharti pe hua hai sarhadon se batwara
Nuksan hua hai dono ka
Hum pakistan gawan baithe
Wo hindustan gawan baithe
