Every voice has it unique soul
Every voice has it unique soul
Every voice has its unique sound,
Such sound affects the heart and mind,
Poem has also such sound,
It may stir the soul differently to the minds,
Poem written by poetic imagination,
Stirring wisdom and conscience on human,
Makes the persons in society to stick to reason,
Its ambience circulates voice of reason,
Raising emotional approach to life,
By its narrative, lyrics and language whch are figurative.
For example, Tu Hindu Banega Na
Musalmaan Banega,
Insaan Ki Aulad Hai Insaan Banega and
By these revolutionary words,
He stirred the soul differently to the minds,
We are human beings first,
This poem was penned
By Abdul Hayee,
Who is famously known by his pen name
Sahir Ludhianvi.
Similarly, the song
‘Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye Toh Kya Hai,’
which means “even if I get the entire world,
what difference does it make,”
It speaks out against the dangers of materialism,
It is at a time when millions were struggling
Under the brutal weight of poverty,
In which the poet expressed his pain.
At the societal repression on women,
Sahir writes in the song,
‘Aurat Ne Janam Diya Mardon Ko,’ and
All through his interactions the poet maintained the Pain,
And the poet wrote a fun song ‘Khali Dabba, Khali Botal,’
Reflecting his political aspiration.
Likewise in the song ‘Aasman Pe Hai Khuda’,
The poet writes,
Aasmaan pe hai khuda, aur zamin pe hum
Aajkal woh is taraf dekhta hai kam
Which means God is in the skies, and
We are on the ground
However, these days,
God doesn’t look at us as much.
