Inquilaab

'Revolt against wrongs in oneself is start of a revolution at societal level'

tijori apni kahnu kholliye?

imaan nu sachhya'n karke,

saada nahio'n sarna...

jidhaa'n chalda, ohdhaa'n challan de,

asi inquilaab ki karna...

naal de pind vich sant ne aaye,

ohna da golakh bhariye.

Goonga Panjab

khaan nu aata te fir vi hai haje,
par gas de kharche maari jaande ne.
kismat nu ki kehna maarha aithe,
sab badh-neeti hatho'n haari jaande ne.

sab de shote shote agandey ne,
kise de chitte, Kise de neele, te kise de peele jhande ne.

jatt kehnda motor da bill maaf ho jaaye,
te electiona vich khulli daaru mill jaaye bass..
puraani baithi sarkar, jo ke khud di chuni hundi hai,
Oh jarho'n hill jaaye bass...

harijan kehnda suvidha da vaada karo,
saanu chukkann da iraada karo.

baaniya kehnda mainu sone da aanda nahin,
chirhi mill jaaye bass.
tax maaf ho jaan mere,
te subsidy mill jaaye bass..

saara samaaj vikaaoo paya aithe,
neta boli laake saanu khareed rahe ne.

fir randdi hi kehlaavaange....

Oye goonge karke jaane jaavaange..

koi kehnda, mainu mauka davo,

koi kehnda, naa main rishvat lain deni,
naa hi rishvat lavaanga..

oye asi Amreeka nahin banana,
tusi Panjab nu Panjab hi rehn dao,
lammbe lammbe bhaashan jhaarhi jaanne ho'n,
Oye lokaa'n nu vi te kush kehn dao.

jerha 4 rupaye aata te 20 rupaye daal de reha hai,
je uss di chaar sao beesi hunn naa samjhe,
antt vich mitti te khaakh khaavaange...
je ajj vi aapan naa bole,
te shaayad goonge karke jaane jaavange...
goonge karke jaane jaavange..

Oye Panjaabiyo desh changgi neet te bahaadri naal azaad hoya si,
naa ke ghumaan naal.

bandooka'n, katal, kabze,
ehna nu aapni pehchaan dasde ho'n.

te khud nu insaan dasde ho'n?

Oye rabb nu te shaddo, shaheeda'n nu aapa'n,
utte jaake ki mooh dikhaavaange??

nashe di te jiven gurhti milidi hai har panjabi nu,
jawani baad 'ch charhdi hai te nasherhi pehla'n bann jaande ne.
daaru athvee'n ch shuru ho jaandi hai,
dasvee'n takk afeemaa'n khaande ne.

baarveen takk jaandya'n jaandya'n,
teekeyaan di latt pai jaandi hai,
college vich nabbe percent madeer,
smack sungdi hai ya post khaandi hai.

ajjkal de Saraabe te Bhagat Singh nashe ne maar ditte ne,
ohna nu maaran di, dushman nu koi lorh nahin.
jad baap te beta kathe beh ke daaru peende ne,
ais mushkil da, mere kol te koi torh nahin.

ajj peo daaru mooh nu launde ne,

je inj hi vikk de rahe vich manddiyaa'n de,
te randdi hi keh laavange...
je ajj vi aapa'n naa bole,
te shaayad goonge kar ke jaane jaavange,
goonge karke jaane jaavange...

Govt prefers revenue over human life!

One question that haunts every Panjabi thinking about future of Panjab is that why is youth so much into the drugs? What is government doing about it? While the answer to the former by many would be that unemployment, corruption and increasing debts on their parents, which will eventually pass on to them, have pushed the youth into this ditch; I have a different opinion about it. From what I see, people start consuming alcohol either because they see their parents doing so or their friend circle consuming alcohol for socializing. Some start with cigarettes and move on to alcohol while some go the other way around. From there on, when they see everyone around them using alcohol and cigarettes without any sense of regret, they become addicted to the evil too. Gradually, when effect of alcohol and cigarettes seems to decline, they try newer forms of drugs like smack, opium, heroine, etc. Once they start taking those drugs, they become even lazier and more escapist than they were before. They are not frustrated and depressed due to unemployment and corruption, instead, they are using those agendas to cover up their coward acts.

Moving on to the second question, what is government doing about it? According to me, drugs trap starts with two evils that our government has legalized just for revenue purposes - alcohol and cigarettes!! My question is that when we and the makers themselves know that alcohol and cigarettes are harmful to human health and more importantly to the society, then is it fair enough to legalize alcohol and cigarettes and bet on peoples' life for some stupid revenue that does not even support people? Is it fine to sit and watch people dying for govts' revenues? Instead of fighting against drugs, it's quite clear that governments are, in a direct way, helping the drug mafia. I 'd like to know your opinion on this, please have your say.
