.Pd. is here - Hindi Poem: Bhai - Bhai/ Brother Brother (based on communal riots)

2014-06-13 1

*Hindi*

Hindu - muslim bhai bhai
yeh to sabhi kehte hai
phir bhi har saal dango mein
aadmi gajar mooli se katte hai.

Bhai ne bhai ko kata
dosti ka gala ghota
majhabo ke dalalo ne
har ek basti ko luta.

Akhbaro ke surkhiyo ne
mirch masale ka kaam kiya
kya vo sach mein insaan the
jinhoone ye dango ko anjaam diya?

Main nadan, bhed bahi se anjaan
yeh sab baatein mere samajh se pare the.
jab khoon ka rang ek hi tha
phir itne saare kyu mare?

Kyo nahin ye bade boodeh
seekhtey kuch hamse hai
hum bacche to sirf karte hai pyaar
har ek ko apne pan se.

Mera to yehi hai sapna
badhee pyaar apas mein apna
hai isse mein sabki bhalaye
hindu - muslim bhai bhai.

*English*

Everyone says that hindu-muslims
are brothers and sisters
yet, every year in communal riots
people get chopped like vegetables.

Brother kills brother
Kills F'ship too
The prople involved in riots
Looted every village.

The headlines of newspapers
Spiced all the news up
Were they really humans
Who sparked off the riots?

I'm innocent, do not understand the differences
All these things are beyond me.
When everyone's colour of blood was red
Then why did so many die?

Why don't the grownups
Learn something from us?
We kids love everyone
With the same warmth and affection.

I have just one dream
I hope to see the love grow
In this lies everyone's good
for hindu-muslims are brothers.


(The translation isn't very appealing, but those do do not understand hindi can make do with it)
