Utho na

utho na utho ab tum kuch bolte kyun nahin
dikhao hai kya mutthi me kholte kyun nahin
utho na chalo ab gussa thoonk bhi do

tumhe bandar-vandar bulaoongi nahin
kahin bhi bole bina jaaoongi nahin
utho na...
-------------------------------------------------------

lete ho jab mujhko peeth pe bori
kaan kaantke bhaagti hoon
sunate ho jo mujhko misri si lori
sunte raat bhar jaagti hoon

peeth savari bithao na ghode
saayon se panchi banao na thode
utho na chalo ab gussa thoonk bhi do

----------------------------------------------------------

saabun ke paani se bulbule phoonko
koond koondke phir phonde
jheel ke paani pe kankad yun phenko
woh langdi maarke daude

maa kahti hai tum uthne wale nahin ho
uthke bolo itna gussa bhi nahin ho
utho na chalo ab gussa thoonk bhi do

"maa kahti hai tum uthne wale nahin ho"
somehow this line makes the whole poem sound so sad....almost like the sister is shaking her brother to be alive.....wonder did you have that emotion in mind ??

Haan... that is the whole point...
the li'l girl does not realise...
the band mutthi in
"dikhao hai kya mutthi me kholte kyun nahin"
&
"maa kahti hai tum uthne wale nahin ho"
are supposed to tell us that...
from the kid's perspective...she does not unnrstnd!

wish I could say....wonderful, great!!!....but the poem makes me feel so sad and helpless...any betrayal is acceptable except of a child's faith !! ...yeah the words touch...

Nishabd ho gaya Sri,
kitna dard kitani khubsurati aur itane kam shabdo mein bayan kar diya.

Its really touching!
