Mumbai – Maatam Ka Shahar ... By Arvind 'Deddy' Mundra

This happens to be the first hindi post on my blog. Now, don't start laughing. I didn't compose it. An old friend of mine, Arvind Mundra (aka Deddy.. from the famous Boney M song.. 'She Loves Her Deddy') wrote this beautiful poem.


Ye jo abhi haal tak jadu ka nagar tha..
Ab Maatam ka shahar hai..

Kuchh napunsak safed labaas wale,
jinke daaman mai khoon sabse lal lagna chahiye,
phir apni hijri zubaan hilate nazar aa rahe hai..

Ye vahi hai jo haath jhod ke aapka vote mangenge,
Aur phir besharmon ki tarah,
haath baandhe aapke maatam mai shaamil ho jaynege..

yun lagta hain
jaise aap vote nahi, maatam-nama de rahe ho..

Magar gaur se dekhe to,
Napunsak to hum sabhi hai..
Jo ek faulad ki aulad nahi paida kar paaye..
Ilzaam to hamare safed khoon pe hai,
Jo lal hoke bhi lal nahi hai..
Jisme faulad ki kamee hai..

Aur aisa khoon bah bhi jaaye
To kya maatam karna..

Aao us din ka intezaar kare,
Jab khoon tadaf ke ye na kahe ke aur mat bahao mujhe,
Main tumhe faulad ki aulad dene ko taiyar hoon..

Nice one ... but lets not let ppl make this attack a ISSUE OF MUMBAI and not take a lesson that it is the entire security of this country that we all are voicing our concern for... mumbai now... some other place next... we have extremist groups (Terrorist) in 11 states with arms and ammuniation better than our national security forces...

Good point... but let's appreciate art for what it is. And let's deal with terrorists for what they are.
