Lyricist Prasoon Joshi wrote a poem to express his feelings of pain and anger over the Mumbai terror attacks.

Prasoon ji,

Words fail me - a heartfelt outpouring indeed.

Your hindi film lyrics too are a gust of ’bheegi mitti ki mahek’ - am currently addicted to ’Arziyan’!

Aap par sadaiv Ma Vageshwari ka aashirwad bana rahe.

Prasoon jee,

Bahut accha likha hai apne...you inspire me alot.. and I hope same effect would be on others...

song or poem, it is like your song.

..and it would be the great one if to translate to another languages?

Sir,
I expect you to update your blogs frequently. This poem is overwhelming. What a great emotional way to convey the message of resilience and not mere acceptance of the situation. And the line ”Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar
Ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye” is manifestation of youe observation power connected with poetic skills. Brilliant!!! hope to see more poems.

So touching...
really a master piece

Prasoon ji!

It was an overwhelming experience to read through the scintillating lines of thy homage! It was a moving account of the present scenario and makes me weak on knees to ponder upon the stark reality. Your words have laid bare how we after morning for a while get placid in our ramblings...forgetting the mercury reading of the blood that had once curdled. May sanity prevail!

Sir, I was reading your preface on ’Chandrakanta’-the novel and it was a vyage into the forgotten memory lanes. Sir,I too,along with many other readers wish that thee would update your blog regularly...looking forward to reading more from your illustrious inks!

-ek aur pahadi:)

yeah, please update regularly, this awesome poem though..

aaj kashtiyon ko unka sahil na mil payega,aaj ye karvan ek pag bhi na chal payega,aaj drakhton pe bathe panchi b ud jayenge,ye dil dukha hai aaj ek zal-zala sa ayga,in baago me phool mehkte the kabi aye aarzoo,is hava ki chaal ko bhi ye kahin das jayega........ sir if you ever read dis plz get back to me.......9893448662.

Thanks,
P.Pant

dear sir,
dard hai toh koi vajah hogi,koi dard dene wala bhi hoga, uska bhi koi dard hoga, uske dard ko kaise dekhen,usse toh sab nafrat karte hai....

This is a truly touching story. moved my heart...

English Translation of IS Baar Nahi....Salaam Prasson Joshi jee ..You voice sentiments of many of us Indians ..so I have taken liberty to see that many more read your Poem written in blood seeping from festering wounds of Mumbai kars and many more who have been innocent victims of Terrorism mindless inhumane cold blooded planned murders of Human Beings in name of a religion..by citizen group of another Nation and with help of some Enemies within.

Thanks from heart of all of us Indians...

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HIS CREATION-AN ATTEMPT by me ..

Is baar nahin Lyrics

Is baar nahin
Is baar jab woh choti si bachchi mere paas apni kharonch le kar aayegi
Main usey phoo phoo kar nahin behlaoonga
Panapney doonga uski tees ko
Is baar nahin

Not this time!

When this time the small girl child will come to me with her (bleeding)scratches

I will not fool her with gently blowing cool air on her wounds

I will allow this wound pain to increase to a crescendo

Not This time

Is baar jab main chehron par dard likha dekhoonga
Nahin gaoonga geet peeda bhula dene wale
Dard ko risney doonga,utarney doonga andar gehrey
Is baar nahin

When I will see the pain writ large on many such faces this time

I will NOT sing paens which would blow away their pain

Will alow the pathos to flow from these wounds ,allow it to dig deep into them

Not this time

Is baar main na marham lagaoonga
Na hi uthaoonga rui ke phahey
Aur na hi kahoonga ki tum aankein band karlo,gardan udhar kar lo main dawa lagata hoon
Dekhney doonga sabko hum sabko khuley nangey ghaav
Is baar nahin

Not this time will I balm the wounds

Nor will I gather and apply cotton wool dressings on them

Nor will I insist that you close your eyes ,see sideways ,so that I can apply the (burning) medicine on it

Will encourage all of US to see the gory wounds naked in front of us

Not this time

Is baar jab uljhaney dekhoonga,chatpatahat dekhoonga
Nahin daudoonga uljhee door lapetney
Uljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sake
Is baar nahin

This time when I will see the confusions and trembling bodies and minds

I will not jump up to wind up lap up these entwined knotted threads

Will allow them to get as much entwined as they can

Not this time

Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar
Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat
Nahin banoonga misaal ek karmyogi ki
Nahin aaney doonga zindagi ko aasani se patri par
Utarney doonga usey keechad main,tedhey medhey raston pe
Nahin sookhney doonga deewaron par laga khoon
Halka nahin padney doonga uska rang
Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar
Ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye
Is baar nahin

Not this time will I reach to rehandle my tools again by hiding behind the Law of karma

Will not restart my Life again by making a new beginning

Nor will I hoist myself on a pedestal of a Karma Yogi-(Do gooder without any expectations)

Nor will I allow my derailed Life to re gain its rulings again

Will allow this derailed life of Mine to mire itself into the quick sand ,twists and turns

Nor will I allow the blood stained walls to dry up

Will Not allow its Red Sanguineness to faint ever

Not this time will I allow IT to become so dependent,frivolous

So that one would fail to see the difference between the red spit marks of the bettele nut (Paan) and THE BLOOD

Not this time.

Is baar ghawon ko dekhna hai
Gaur se
Thoda lambe wakt tak
Kuch faisley
Aur uskey baad hausley
Kahin toh shuruat karni hi hogi
Is baar yahi tay kiya hai

This time let us all look at the Wounds given to us

Observe them

For longer Time

So as to help make Desicions

Gather all of our Will -Courage

We would have to start responding ,take Actions Some Time

So THIS TIME we have decided to, Just DO it,now.

Prasoon Joshi

tHIS IS MY ONE TIME UNEDITED ATTEMPT WHICH ANY ONE OF THE iNDIANS BY PERMISSION OF ARGE HEARTED iNDIAN PRASOON JEE SHOULD BETTER ..PUT BETTER WORDS..THIS IS OUR TORCH FOR 26-11 VICTIMS–drhemantsant baroda

when i was reading this poem written by Prasoon ji i could imagine the effects of 26/11 attacks on Mumbai....and i think its also like a real tribute all victims but something more than that i mean also an eye opening description for those who were away from this mis-happenig by grace of God.We should not consider it only as a poem but something more and should think what we can do own our part to soothe their wounds,to wipe their tears,how could we help them to return back to their normal life,every one should drive a inspiration to do something for the sake of all humanity and brotherhood.JAI HIND

It is reflection of pain and fear of all Indian Now, who do not want to let any dirty human hurt them due to our innocence and humbleness.
thanks a lot too Prashoonji.
