baapoo ke prati – a poem by Sumitranandan Pant

tum maans-heen, tum raktaheen,
he asthi-shesh! tum asthiheen,
tum shuddh-buddh aatma keval,
he chir puraan, he chir naveen!
tum poorn ikaee jeevan kee,
jisamen asaar bhav-shoony leen;
aadhaar amar, hogee jis par
bhaavee kee sanskrti samaaseen!
tum maans, tumhee ho rakt-asthi,
nirmit jinase navayug ka tan,
tum dhany! tumhaara ni:sv-tyaag
hai vishv-bhog ka var saadhan.
is bhasm-kaam tan kee raj se
jag poorn-kaam nav jag-jeevan
beenega saty-ahinsa ke
taane-baanon se maanavapan!
sadiyon ka dainy-tamisr toom,
dhun tumane kaat prakaash-soot,
he nagn! nagn-pashuta dhank dee
bun nav sanskrt manujatv poot.
jag peedit chhooton se prabhoot,
chhoo amit sparsh se, he achhoot!
tumane paavan kar, mukt kie
mrt sanskrtiyon ke vikrt bhoot!
sukh-bhog khojane aate sab,
aaye tum karane saty khoj,
jag kee mittee ke putale jan,
tum aatma ke, man ke manoj!
jadata, hinsa, spardha mein bhar
chetana, ahinsa, namr-oj,
pashuta ka pankaj bana diya
tumane maanavata ka saroj!
pashu-bal kee kaara se jag ko
dikhalaee aatma kee vimukti,
vidvesh, ghrna se ladane ko
sikhalaee durjay prem-yukti;
var shram-prasooti se kee krtaarth
tumane vichaar-parineet ukti,
vishvaanurakt he anaasakt!
sarvasv-tyaag ko bana bhukti!
sahayog sikha shaasit-jan ko
shaasan ka durvah hara bhaar,
hokar nirastr, satyaagrah se
roka mithya ka bal-prahaar:
bahu bhed-vigrahon mein khoee
lee jeern jaati kshay se ubaar,
tumane prakaash ko kah prakaash,
au andhakaar ko andhakaar.
ur ke charakhe mein kaat sookshm
yug-yug ka vishay-janit vishaad,
gunjit kar diya gagan jag ka
bhar tumane aatma ka ninaad.
rang-rang khaddar ke sootron mein
nav-jeevan-aasha, sprhyaalaad,
maanavee-kala ke sootradhaar!
har liya yantr-kaushal-pravaad.
jadavaad jarjarit jag mein tum
avatarit hue aatma mahaan,
yantraabhibhoot jag mein karane
maanav-jeevan ka paritraan;
bahu chhaaya-bimbon mein khoya
paane vyaktitv prakaashavaan,
phir rakt-maans pratimaon mein
phoonkane saty se amar praan!
sansaar chhod kar grahan kiya
nar-jeevan ka paramaarth-saar,
apavaad bane, maanavata ke
dhruv niyamon ka karane prachaar;
ho saarvajanikata jayee, ajit!
tumane nijatv nij diya haar,
laukikata ko jeevit rakhane
tum hue alaukik, he udaar!
mangal-shashi-lolup maanav the
vismit brahmaand-paridhi vilok,
tum kendr khojane aaye tab
sab mein vyaapak, gat raag-shok;
pashu-pakshee-pushpon se prerit
uddaam-kaam jan-kraanti rok,
jeevan-ichchha ko aatma ke
vash mein rakh, shaasit kie lok.
tha vyaapt dishaavadhi dhvaant bhraant
itihaas vishv-udbhav pramaan,
bahu-hetu, buddhi, jad vastu-vaad
maanav-sanskrti ke bane praan;
the raashtr, arth, jan, saamy-vaad
chhal sabhy-jagat ke shisht-maan,
bhoo par rahate the manuj nahin,
bahu roodhi-reeti preton-samaan–
tum vishv manch par hue udit
ban jag-jeevan ke sootradhaar,
pat par pat utha die man se
kar nav charitr ka navoddhaar;
aatma ko vishayaadhaar bana,
dishi-pal ke drshyon ko sanvaar,
ga-ga–ekohan bahu syaam,
har lie bhed, bhav-bheeti-bhaar!
ekata isht nirdesh kiya,
jag khoj raha tha jab samata,
antar-shaasan chir raam-raajy,
au’ vaahy, aatmahan-akshamata;
hon karm-nirat jan, raag-virat,
rati-virati-vyatikram bhram-mamata,
pratikriya-kriya saadhan-avayav,
hai saty siddh, gati-yati-kshamata.
ye raajy, praja, jan, saamy-tantr
shaasan-chaalan ke krtak yaan,
maanas, maanushee, vikaas-shaastr
hain tulanaatmak, saapeksh gyaan;
bhautik vigyaanon kee prasooti
jeevan-upakaran-chayan-pradhaan,
math sookshm-sthool jag, bole tum–
maanav maanavata ka vidhaan!
saamraajyavaad tha kans, bandinee
maanavata pashu-balaakraant,
shrrnkhala daasata, praharee bahu
nirmam shaasan-pad shakti-bhraant;
kaara-grh mein de divy janm
maanav-aatma ko mukt, kaant,
jan-shoshan kee badhatee yamuna
tumane kee nat-pad-pranat, shaant!
kaara thee sanskrti vigat, bhitti
bahu dharm-jaati-gat roop-naam,
bandee jag-jeevan, bhoo-vibhakt,
vigyaan-moodh jan prakrti-kaam;
aae tum mukt purush, kahane–
mithya jad-bandhan, saty raam,
naanrtan jayati satyan, ma bhaih
jay gyaan-jyoti, tumako pranaam!
