Felt like bringing this to those who would care to listen once again.
For what wanton crime we are doing to our daughters, and our underprivileged ones
“So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn't earned
the world's end.”
~ Wisława Szymborska
बहुत घुटन है कोई सूरत-ए-बयाँ निकले
अगर सदा न उठे कम से कम फ़ुग़ाँ निकले
सितम के दौर में हम अहल-ए-दिल ही काम आए
ज़बाँ पे नाज़ था जिन को वो बे-ज़बाँ निकले
-साहिर लुधियानवी

साँप !
तुम सभ्य तो हुए नहीं
नगर में बसना
भी तुम्हें नहीं आया।
एक बात पूछूँ--(उत्तर दोगे?)
तब कैसे सीखा डँसना--
विष कहाँ पाया?

"In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times."
Throwback resistance: CPI leader @kanhaiyakumar reads an anti-war poem by Bertolt Brecht. #poetry#Resistance
Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chahiye
Is Himalaya se koi Ganga nikalni chahiye
Sirf hungama khada karna mera maqsad nahin
Meri koshish hai ki ye soorat badalni chahiye
Mere seene mein nahin, to tere seene mein sahi
Ho kahin bhi aag lekin aag jalni chahiye
- Dushyant Kumar
Had been asked to record my favourite piece of resistance poetry by @indiapoetrypost back in 2018. My choice was Faiz’s #HumDekhenge A nazm which has once again become a rallying cry against an oppressive Govt #CAA_NRC#IndiaAgainstCAA
I read Gorakh's poem Band Khidkiyon Se Takrakar for @indiapoetrypost! मैंने गोरख की कविता 'बंद खिड़कियों से टकराकर' पढ़ कर सुनाया. https://t.co/9oDMoDhlEP
