Folks,
This apt poetry I got from a friend on another desi forum. We can see his
words in the shape verse are the result of a stretched out debate. Somehow,
I felt we all, too, can read his words and get the meaning on our 'nukkad'.
 enjoy.

"Hum bacchon ki tarha larte hai, koi mari hui baat par marte hai
Ekkis mi sadi mei aan parey hai, parayi dharti par jhagartey hai

Masla yeh nahi ke desimail ne koun baat dohrayi aur koun nahi
Balki yeh ke kis hadd tak tu samajta apni samaj se, ya koi parayi

Garache samna karna parey, kamseeni kamaqal kamzori sey
To pyar aur bardasht sey kam chala, na ke seena-zori sey

Na-bardashti ek din ley jayegi. na-insafi ki rah par sarasar
Aur lout kar ek din maregi, ek kulhari ki tarah apne pairo par

Is angan mei, apni yaadon ki yaad barqarar rahe
Apne watan ki ahat sunai de, pyar bhari baatein chalti rahe

Hum sabh thei desi aj ban gaya pardesi, sarzameen sey nata chuta
Bachpan ki masoom galiyon sey aur apnoun sey, achanak nata tuta

Ahmedabad mei na koi abad raha, deewaron ne ghar me hi maara
Bila zaat aur naat ke takazon sey, maut ney sabh ki jaan ko hara

Is tarf Mahaveeri, us tarf Momeeni, dono ka dam ek hi tarah tuta
Yahan Vaishnava, wahan achut Shudra, eksa hi ghada phuta

Mandir dab gaya, masjid dab gaya, dab gaye sarey gurudware
Dab gaye dilbar, duri-jan dab marei, eksa sabh ke sharir jare

Ek din apni bhi is hi tara bani ayegi, ya doh rahe par dab gar jayein
Kisi Gorey ki kabrastan mei soye kar, sone si kaya guwayein

Ya kisi Amreeki daabe mein jal kar, hazar volt sey bhasam khak hona
Ya na-zaat aramgah mei basera, bagal mei kafir ke saath sona

Yeh pardes hai pyare, kahan jeena kahan marna kuch khabar nahi
Ham apni aap niber chale, baad aulad ka kya, unka koi rahbar nahi

Par aaj ham zindah, dil hamarey shaad, pariwar aur gharbar abaad
Chalo mil kar gaave, zaat nahi, ruh ko bhave, ek hi shaad sey shaad."
