POEMS

Bandgee choor dee hamnee Shera
Kyaa karee loog khuda jab ho gaye

Tu  Mera ban ke to dekh
Har ek ko tera na bana doon to kehna..

Tu apne bachon ko Yog Vashisth ki shiksha dekar to dekh
Lav – Kuchh na bana doon to kehna..

Mere marg par per rakhkar to dekh
Sab dwar na khol doon to kehna..

Toon ghar mein mera kirtan karva kar to dekh
Kuber ke bhandar na khol doon to kehna..

Mere liye ansoo bha kar to dekh
Tere jeevan mein anand ke sagar na bahan doon to kehna..

Logon mein mera parvachan kar ke to dekh
Tuge gyanvaan or budhimaan na bana doon to kehna..

Tu apni putri ko ramayan ki shiksha dekar to dekh
Sita jesi putrid na bana doon to kehna..

Tu apne dharma or ko ki khatir sangharsh karke to dekh
Tere bachon ko eklavya or babrik na bana doon to kehna..

Poem written by Mr Daljit Khankhana
who won Poet of the year award in 2004 from USA.

One day will come

I know, this is insulted task,
You are very important to me.
I know, this is insulted task,
You are fully enlightened to me.
I have no objection
You are quiet handsome and smart
I have no objection
Your are honest working hard a part
But I can't allow you
You are still a servant.
But I can't allow you
You are lower caste detergent.
I can invite you
If you have a different religion,
I can invite you
If you have a different language vision,
It is a matter of my purity
It is a tradition of my culture and faith
It is a matter of Hindu sanctity
It is a pride of my family myth.
You can't understand
As you are exploited over the centuries.
You can't blame them
If nobody accepted you a human the centuries
If you are Muslim
Still facing a caste barrier
If you are Sikh
Still facing a caste barrier
If you are Christian,
Still facing a caste barrier
If you are Buddhist
Still facing a caste barrier
You need to know
Hindu fantasies have strong ties
You need to know
Why all others have mourn flies
They also believe that
Caste is a God gift
They also believe that
Dalits have downtrodden rift
Is world ready to accept you?
Explain me, what have they done for you?
Nobody is ready to help you
If you are Dalit, they have done none for you,
They love you,
Only the cause of their Religion.
They love you,
Only the cause of their vision.
Religious philosophy is equal,
Divide mankind and ruled over them
Religious philosophy is equal,
Kill the welfare of mankind to convert them.
One day will come,
When you will be a religious man,
One day will come,
When a Dalit shouln't be a Dalit fan.
