KABH SE MAHARASHTRA?

Maharashtra is no more than a rashtra
Marked out on paper and land
Which came into being 
Five hundred years ago
By vagaries of war.

Who will lay claim to land
Which is the very bhumi mai
Which will one day reclaim
This mortal coil and stone
As borrowed soil and bone?

The land is old, old.
Those claimed it, cold, cold.

Before Mumbai Bombay
Before Bombay English
Before English Koli
Before Koli Maharatta.

Before Shivaji Shahji
Before Shahji some Raja
Before Raja some Praja
Before Praja the Bhil
Befoe Bhil the Dhravid
Before Dhravid the Vanars
Before Vanars the Sarps
Before Sarps the Meen
Before Meen the Jantu
Before Jantu the Bhumi
Before Bhumi the Agni
Before Agni the Jal
Before Jal the Vayu
Before Vayu the Achar
Before Achar the Vichar
Before Vichar the Nindra
Before Nindra the Maya
Before Maya the Kalpana
Before Kalpana the Laya
Before Laya theUnd
Before Und the Dand
Before Dand ...

Maharashtra sabh ka rashtra
Sabh jan kare niwas.

[Maharashtra shelters all
Who come to her to rest;

Koi jiwe raj kari
Koi jan jhopri ki aas.

Some live as princely breed
Some hope for a home of reed]


Arya.
