HASYA PANKTIYAN OF THE DAY – DESH KE NETA AUR BABU

I have this Facebook group called Main Shayar To Nahin. Unlike many other groups on Shair-o-Shayari with members running into tens of thousands, I am very cautious about adding members. Following is the description:

“A group for Nazams, Ghazals and Shayari (but not songs). You can either upload your own or of a poet/writer. This is indeed a group for earnest fans of good and serious poetry. YOU SHOULDN’T BE JOINING IT IF YOU ARE ONLY INTO FRIVOLOUS, COPY-PASTE, FAST-FOOD EQUIVALENT IN SHAIR – O – SHAYARI.

Please avoid:

1. Greetings except in poetry.
2. Religious posts including pictures of gods and goddesses.
3. Pornographic, obscene or vulgar stuff.
4. Irrelevant stuff such as sharing phone numbers and ‘Hi, anyone from Pahargang?'”

On the 19 Jan 18, I started with a regular ‘Sher Of The Day’ penned by me. I shall be doing a weekly compilation of those too on this blog. Three days later, on 22 Jan 18, I started with another series ‘Hasya Panktiyan of the Day’. I am doing a weekly compilation of those that are not long enough to stand as separate posts. This is by itself since it is long enough:

DESH KE NETA AUR BABU

चलो हंसने का साधन तो ज़रूर हैं,
हमारे देश के नेता और बाबू,
देश के हित की बातें तो इनसे दूर हैं,
Progress पे इनका न है काबू।

किन मुद्दों पे उठाते हैं ये आवाज़,
हम तो सुन के हो जाते हैं हैरान;
देश के गरीबों के पास नहीं है अनाज,
यह गाय और धर्म को कहते हैं शान।

Human growth index में थोड़े ही देश हमसे नीचे हैं,
पर यह पकड़ बैठे हैं GDP के बढ़ावे को,
हर आंकड़ों में हम दुनिया से पीछे हैं,
पर यह हमें खींचते हैं मंदिर के चढ़ावे को।

किसी party का नहीं है दोष,
सभी हैं एक से एक बड़ के,
यह रहेगा जब तक लोगों को नहीं यह होश,
Divisive aur criminal politics को निकालें जड़ से।

यह न किया तो अगले चुनाव में भी,
यह हमें बनाएंगे उल्लू,
हमें कुछ करना है बदलाव में भी,
न के फिरसे चुने गडकरी, पप्पू, मायावती और लल्लू।

अब आप कहेंगे आज की पंक्तियों में कहाँ है joke,
यह तो मामला है काफी serious,
पर सोचिये अगर मज़ाक में ही रहे हम लोग,
फिर से we will miss the bus!

Chalo hansne ka saadhan to xaroor hain,
Hamare desh ke neta aur babu,
Desh ke hit ki baaten to inse door hain,
Progress pe inka na hai kaabu.

Kin muddon pe uthhate hain ye awaaz,
Ham to sun ke ho jaate hain hairaan;
Desh ke gareebon ke paas nahin hai anaaj,
Yeh gaye aur dharm ko kehte hain shaan.

Human growth index mein thode hi desh hamse neeche hain,
Par yeh pakad baithe hain GDP ke badhave ko;
Har aankdon mein ham duniya se peechhe hain,
Par yeh hamen kheenchte hain mandir ke chadhave ko.

Kisi party ka nahin hai dosh,
Sabhi hain ek se ek badh ke;
Yeh rahega jab taq logon ko nahin hai hosh,
Divisive aur criminal politics ko nikaalen jadh se.

Yeh na kiya to agle chunaav mein bhi,
Yeh hamen banaayenge ullu;
Hamen kuchh karna hai badlaav mein bhi,
Na se phirse chune Gadkari, Pappu, Mayawati aur Lallu.

Ab aap kahenge aaj ki panktiyon mein kahan hai joke,
Yeh to maamla hai kaafi serious;
Par sochiye agar mazaak mein hi rahe hum log,
Phir se we will miss the bus!

 

 

Author: Sunbyanyname

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
