Godhra Hiroshima Ki Nain

Hathat Vishwa ke Naqshe Pe Aagaya

Ek Gumnaam Sa Kasba ,

Insaniyat Ki KABRAGAH ban

SOORKHIYON Mein Thaa

Yeh Baat Aur Thi ki

Un SOORKHIYON ko Soorkh rang

Insanon Ke Lahoo Se Hi Mila Tha

Aab Mujh Jaise Samarth Logon ko

Pratishodh Mein Kuch Aur Shaharon ko

Soorkhiyon Mein Lana Tha

Fir Se Insaaniyat ki Hatya

Fir Kuch Aur Lahoo Baha

Aab Kuchh Aur Shaharon ke Nam Soorkhiyon Me Thhe

Maine Loota Dookanon Ko

Is baat Se Bekhabar ki

Apani Paanch Hazar Saal Ki Dharohar

Usi Deheliz Per

Main Khud Loota Kar Aaya Hoon

Haan Wohi Sampada

Jo Mujhe Ram Budha au Gandhi Se Virasat Mein Mili Thi

Ek Kshan Mein Gawan Kar Aya hoon

Han Aab Main Apana Sab Kuchh Loota

Bhediye Mein Tadbeel Ho Gaya Thha

Samarth Ko Nahin Dosh Gosainn Gungunaata

Kuchh Aur Shikar Talash Reha Tha

Aur aab Insaniyat Raktaviheen au Jard Ho

Haashiye mein Pahoonch Chuki thhi

Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam Ka Mantra

Ab Basi ho chala tha

Ram ka Vargi- Karan Kar

Usaka Dhanus Apane hathon Mein Le

Main, Haan ab Main hi

Ram ki Raksha Kar Reha Thaa


Godhra like Hiroshima

All of a sudden Got Identified on the World Map

An Unknown town was in headlines

By turning into a graveyard of humanity

Although the vermillion hue of the headline

Was obtained from human blood alone

Now it was the turn of certain other

Strong men such as me

To bring names of certain other towns in headlines

Once Again Humanity was murdered

Some more blood was shed

And Few more towns

Hit the headlines

 

I Robbed shops

Unaware of The Fact

That I had Lost My Five Thousand Years

Estate In The bargain

Yes the Same Estate that I had got as inheritance

From Ram ,Buddha and Gandhi

I lost at the same doorstep in a second

 

Now Bereft Of everything

 

I had Metamorphosised into A Wolf

And Pleading Might is Right

I was Looking For a Fresh Prey

The Humanity had become Anemic and Pale

And had become marginalized

The Concept of universal Brotherhood

Had Become Stale

Now I Had segmented Ram

Taken his bow in my hand

And me , yes little me

Had Become the protector of Ram
