Confused Soul

Listened to this poem in a TV show some 5-6 years back, liked it a lot and thought of sharing it with you... I don't remember the name of the poet but a lot of thanks to him for writing such a beautiful piece of art.


mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

tum MA 1st division ho, main hua matric fail priye,
tum fauji afsar ki beti, main to kisaan ka beta hoon,
tum rabdi kheer malai ho, main to sattu sapreta hoon,
tum AC ghar mein rahti ho, main ped ke neeche leta hoon,
tum nai maruti lagti ho, main scooter lamreta hoon,
is kadar agar hum chup-chup kar, aapas me prem badhaenge,
to ek roz tere daddy, Amrish Puri ban jaaenge,
sab haddi pasli tod mujhe, bhijwaa denge vo jail priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

tum arab desh kee ghodi ho, main hoon gadahe ki naal priye,
tum deewali ka bonus ho, main bhookho ki hadtaal priye,
tum heere jadi tashtari ho, main almunium ka thaal priye,
tum chicken-soop biryani ho, main kankad waali daal priye,
tum hiran-chaokadi bharti ho, main hoon kachue ki chaal priye,
tum chandan-wan ki lakdi ho, main hoon babool ki chaal priye,
main pake aam sa latka hoon, mat maaro mujhe gulel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

main shani-dev jaisa kuroop, tum komal kanchan kaya ho,
main tan-se man-se Kanshi Ram, tum maha chanchala Maya ho,
tum nirmal paawan ganga ho, main jalta hua patanga hoon,
tum raaj ghaat ka shanti march, main hindu-muslim danga hoon,
tum ho poonam ka Taj Mahal, main kaali gufa ajanta ki,
tum ho vardaan vidhata ka, main galti hoon bhagvanta ki,
tum jet vimaan ki shobha ho, main bus ki thelam-thel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

tum nai videshi mixi ho, main patthar ka silbatta hoon,
tum A-K-saintalis jaisi, main to ik desi katta hoon,
tum chatur Rabadi Devi si, main bhola-bhala Laloo hoon,
tum mukt sherni jangal ki, main chidiyaghar ka bhaalu hoon,
tum vyast Sonia Gandhi si, main V.P.Singh sa khali hoon,
tum hansi Madhuri Dixit ki, main policeman ki gaali hoon,
kal jail agar ho jaaye to, dilwa dena tum bail priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

main dhabe ke dhaanche jaisa, tum paanch sitara hotel ho,
main mahue ka desi tharra, tum red-label ki botel ho,
tum chitra-haar ka madhur geet, main krishi-darshan ki jhaadi hoon,
tum vishva-sundari si kamaal, main teliya chaap kabadi hoon,
tum Sony ka mobile ho, main telephone waala chonga,
tum machli maansarovar ki, main saagar tat ka hoon ghongha,
dus manzil se gir jaaooga, mat aage mujhe dhakel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,

tum satta ki maharani ho, main vipaksha ki lachari hoon,
tum ho Mamta-Jailalita si, main kwara Atal-Bihari hoon,
tum Tendulkar ka shatak priye, main follow on ki paari hoon,
tum getz, matiz, corolla ho, main Leyland ki lorry hoon,
mujhko refree hi rehne do, mat khelo mujhse khel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye,
main soch raha ki hain kabse, shrota mujhko rahe jhel priye,
mushkil hai apna mel priye, ye pyar nahin hai khel priye.

Lage hain chup karane me, yahan is inkalabi ko,
Yeh shor hukmraano ka, sunai nahi deta,
jute hai rehnumai me, kuch firka-paraston ki,
dard mazloom janta ka, sunai nahi deta.

Chale hai balti lekar, bujhane aag gulshan ki,
ghar me uthata hua dhuan, dikhai nahi deta,
koi kehta hara hai yeh, koi kehta hai kaisariya,
lahoo ka rang laal ab to kahin, dikhai nahi deta.

Quentin, he sits next to Will.
Veronica sits next to Bill.
Graham sits just right of Fred,
And Mortimer sits next to Ned.
Charlie sits just under Fred,
And under Dave, it could be said.
Yasmin's sitting right of Trevor,
And Will and Edgar sit together.

आज लेने पहुचे हम एक नेता का साक्षात्कार,
खा गए चक्कर देख कर उनका आकार,
वैसे तो वो सिर्फ़ ग्यारह बच्चो के अब्बा थे,
पर साइज़ में पूरा रेल का डब्बा थे,
लगता था कि पूरे देश का चारा उन्होंने ही खाया था,
भैस तो भैस, बकरियों को भी डराया था,
अब ज्यादा क्या कहे उनकी हैल्थ को लेकर,
सोचा, निकालेगे हकीकत उनकी अनसोशल वेल्थ को लेकर ।

मैंने अपना पहला प्रश्न पुछा,
आपकी सरकार में कितने मंत्री रिश्वतखोर है?
वो बोले, क्या कर लोगे अगर सब के सब चोर है?
में डर गया, फिर भी अपना दूसरा प्रश्न दागा,
पर किस्मत थी ख़राब, फिर फँस गया मैं अभागा,
पूछा, आपकी सम्पत्तीं कितनी है?
वो बोले, नेता बनने के पहला या उसके बाद,
अच्छा-अच्छा लिखना, वरना कर दूगा तुझे बरबाद ।

तभी मुझे याद आया, और मैंने उन्हें बताया,
कि आने वाला है इलेक्शन,
अब तो बदलो अपनी आवाज़ का सेक्शन,
फिर क्या था, मेरे ही सवाल थे और मेरे ही जवाब,
में था उनकी कुर्सी पर, खड़े हुए थे जनाब,
अब वो मेरे सवालो पर अच्छे से विचार कर रहे थे,
और साथ-साथ अपने पार्टी मेनिफेस्टो का प्रचार कर रहे थे ।

देखा आपने, कि कितने रंग कि होती है इन नेताओं की खाल,
और मुझे तो शक है, की इनका खून भी नही होता लाल,
तो मेरे देश के बच्चों, बूडो और नौजवानों, अब तो अपनी आँखें खोलो,
कुछ न कर सको तो, विरोध के स्वर ही बोलो,
ताकि ये देश, अपने देशवासियों के दम पर कुछ कर दिखाए,
और अपना प्यारा भारत फिर से विश्व गुरु कहलाये ।

PS: Above was my first poem, I have written in college time. It was written as a humorous critic on political leaders. This poem should have come on this blog before general election 2009 to act more aptly.

Disclaimer: This poem is not targeted at any particular politician but at all politician leaders in general. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

For change of mood:

Gum gaye saare shahenshah,
ek huzoor baaki hai,
udd gaya saara nasha,
tera suroor baaki hai,
bik gaye mulk-o-siyasat,
tera nishan baaki hai,
teri aakhon se mein pi loon,
bas itni jaan baaki hai,
tu ek baar laut ke aaja,
ki itni aa.ns baaki hai,
tere hothon ko mein chakh loon,
bas itni saa.ns baaki hai.

On looking at the current political and social situation, these lines came instantly in my mind:
