MY COUNTRY- INDIA

MY COUNTRY

We are the world..We are the Indians..!!

I go to place And greet a person, ’Salam’And he replies, ‘Namaste’We both mean the same,But our conduct was different..


I look in the mirrorWith golden eyes and complimentMy dress- salwar kameez am wearing..But then I see a girl competingWith me with blink and twinkle of- lehenga and veilWe both have the same structure,But our attire was different..


It was a relief to hear the ‘azaan’In the brand new place..And I asked where to face for ‘kabbah’And she asked in return Have you seen any temple?!We both pray gods,But our gods are different..


I was happy when the amber sunShowed its visage in the season of DecemberI sung and danced..The other girl too was happy and singing.I couldn’t comprehend herWe both had the same mood and expression,But our language was different..

We are the world..

We are the Indians..!!

We witnessed an accident on the road,Tear and blood and cry all around,I prayed to god and showed my sympathy,The man there was praying too.We both joined hands, But our way was different..


This was queer day situation..When the eid and diwali was on the same dayI ate sewaiyyan and was given eidiMy friend burned crackers and diyasWe were celebrating the same day,But our festival different..


The time was to represent our religion and culture..He wore topi and pajamaYou wore dhoti and kurtaThe event was the same, But our belonging was different..


But when we listen to our national song- jan gan manWe all stand in the same position,Singing the the same lines ans verses..Our heads held up highIn pride nad devotion.We are from different states, But our county is the same.


The land Geeta and Qur’anThe land of Sikhs and ChristiansThe land of jalebi and rosogullaThe land of burqa and jeans..
