See today’s political scenario mind goes back to Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee. India say many political leaders & statesmen but no one comes near to Atalji. He is tallest among all. The beauty of this man is that he got the mind & administrative/organizing skill of a top political leader but has heart of a very sensitive poet. While toeing the political line of his party, Atalji never hesitated to speak his mind through his poem. His heart always wept over political system. Seeing blood suckers, corrupts, self-centered politicians everywhere, in every nook & corner & in every party, he cried over & his pen wrote the following poems.
कौरव कौन; कौन पांडव, टेढ़ा सवाल है|
दोनों ओर शकुनि का फैला कूटजाल है|
धर्मराज ने छोड़ी नहीं जुए की लत है|
हर पंचायत में पांचाली अपमानित है|
बिना कृष्ण के आज महाभारत होना है,
कोई राजा बने, रंक को तो रोना है|
Atalji is always proud of India & being India. For him, Hinduvatv & India was not a matter policy but it is matter of belief. He declared this time & again but he never used it to flame passion among a particular community. He never use it to bring divide among Indian society. He never used it for political gain. But at the same time, he never hesitated to show his passion for India ie Bharat. In his poem “हिन्दु तन मन हिन्दु जीवन रग रग हिन्दु मेरा परिचय॥(Hindu tana mana Hindu jīvana raga raga Hindu merā paricaya)” You can read this poem in Hindi & English both here. Listen this fiery poem from Atalji himself.
His emotions swung from one corner to another corner. In his famous poem “हार नहीं मानूँगा,रार नहीं ठानूँगा“, he has shown two emotions.
पहली अनुभूति:(First Emotion)
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ
बेनक़ाब चेहरे हैं,दाग़ बड़े गहरे हैं,
टूटता तिलिस्म आज सच से भय खाता हूँ,
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ |
लगी कुछ ऐसी नज़र,बिखरा शीशे सा शहर,
अपनों के मेले में मीत नहीं पाता हूँ,
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ |
पीठ मे छुरी सा चांद,राहू गया रेखा फांद,
मुक्ति के क्षणों में बार बार बंध जाता हूँ,
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ |
दूसरी अनुभूति:(Second Emotion)
गीत नया गाता हूँ |
टूटे हुए तारों से फूटे बासंती स्वर,
पत्थर की छाती मे उग आया नव अंकुर,
झरे सब पीले पात, कोयल की कुहुक रात
प्राची मे अरुणिम की रेख देख पता हूँ
गीत नया गाता हूँ |
टूटे हुए सपनों की कौन सुने सिसकी
अन्तर की चीर व्यथा पलको पर ठिठकी
हार नहीं मानूँगा,रार नहीं ठानूँगा,
काल के कपाल पे लिखता मिटाता हूँ
गीत नया गाता हूँ |
Why don’t you listen this poem from Atal Ji himself?
Atal ji! We miss you very much not only as best Prime Minister & such a prime Minister whom India need more today but also as elder, well-wisher, philosopher, guide & dear human.
Long Live Atal Ji ! Long Live Atal Ji ! Long Live Atal Ji !
