Tribute: On my father’s death anniversary (Geeta Jayanti / Mokshada Ekadashi)



Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high,
where knowledge is free.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it’s way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee
into ever widening thought and action.
In to that heaven of freedom, my father,
LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!

जब भी अपने दिल को छूआ….महसूस किया ….टटोला
ख्वाबों जैसे, कई रंग छलक कर बिखर गये
दर्द, खमोशी , खुशियाँ भरे !!
नम आँखों से उसे सहला कर
धङकनों के साथ वहीं वापस
रख दिया।
श्रद्धांजली
नमन पिता को !!!!!
