Convictions are so rarely seen these days. We may have high and noble ideas but when it comes to actually do some thing about them, few actually step forward. In such a milieu, if we see some one actually sticking to his / her convictions and taking a stand even though it may worldly harm him / her, our heads bow down in deep appreciation. We see a great soul there and ask as Bachchan does in this moving poem, “Andheri raat main deepak jalaye kaun baitha hai ?”
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
UTHI AISI GHATA NABH MEIN,
CHHIPE SAB CHAND AUR TAARE,
UTHA TOOFAN WAH NABH MEIN,
GAYE BUJH DEEP BHI SAARE
MAGAR IS RAAT MEIN BHI LAU LAGAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
GAGAN MEIN GARV SE UTH UTH
GAGAN MEIN GARV SE GHIR GHIR,
GARAJ KEHTI GHATAYE HAIN
NAHIN HOGA UJALA PHIR,
MAGAR CHIR JYOTI MEIN NISHTHA JAMAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
TIMIR KE RAJYA KA AISA
KATHIN ANTAK CHHAYA HAI,
UTHA JO SHEESH SAKTE THE
UNHONE SIR JHUKAYA HAI,
MAGAR VIDROH KI JWALA JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
PRALAY KA SAB SAMA BANDHE
PRALAY KI RAAT HAI CHAYEE,
VINASHAK SHAKTIYO KI IS
TIMIR KE BEECH BAN AAYEE,
MAGAR NIRMAAN MEIN ASHA DRIDHAY KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
PRABHANJAK MEGH DAMINI NE
NA KYA TODA, NA KYA PHODA,
DHARA KE AUR NABH KE BEECH
KUCHH SABUT NAHIN CHHODA,
MAGAR VISHWAS KO APNE BACHAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
PRALAY KI RAAT KO SOCHE
PRANAY KI BAAT KYA KOI,
MAGAR PREM BANDHAN MEIN
SAMAJH KISNE NAHIN KHOI,
KISI KE PANTH MEIN PALKE BICHAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
ANDHERI RAAT MEIN DEEPAK JALAYE KAUN BAITHA HAI?
