India Budget 2012 Highlights

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presented the Union Budget for the year 2012-13, his seventh. At the very beginning of his speech Mr Mukherjee said that a "year of recovery interrupted" meant that it was time to take tough decisions. The idea ahead of the budget was that fiscal deficit needed to be controlled by cutting subsidies and raising taxes. The finance minister has raised taxes and promised cuts in subsidies.Income tax exemption limit raised to Rs.2 lakh to provide relief of Rs.2,000 for all assessees; 20 per cent tax on income over Rs.10 lakh, up from Rs.8 lakh. 
Here are the highlights of the Budget.
APPROACH TO THE BUDGET
 For Indian economy, recovery was interrupted this year due to intensification of debt crises in Euro zone, political turmoil in Middle East, rise in crude oil price and earthquake in Japan.
  •  GDP is estimated to grow by 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, after having grown at 8.4 per cent in preceding two years. 
  •  India however remains front runner in economic growth in any cross-country comparison. 
  •  Monetary and fiscal policy response for better part of past 2 years aimed at taming domestic inflationary pressure. 
  •  Growth moderated and fiscal balance deteriorated due to tight monetary policy and expanded outlays. 
  •  Indicators suggest that economy is turning around as core sectors and manufacturing show signs of recovery. 
  •  At this juncture, it is necessary to take hard decision to improve macroeconomic environment and strengthen domestic growth drivers. 
  •  Twelfth Five Year Plan to be launched with the aim of "faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth". Five objectives identified to be addressed effectively in ensuing fiscal year. 
  •  If India can build on its economic strength, it can be a source of stability for world economy and a safe destination for restless global capital. 
OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY
  •  GDP growth estimated at 6.9 per cent in real terms in 2011-12. Slowdown in comparison to preceding two years is primarily due to deceleration in industrial growth. 
  •  Headline inflation expected to moderate further in next few months and remain stable thereafter. 
  •  Steps taken to bridge gaps in distribution, storage and marketing systems have helped in more effective management of inflation. 
  •  Developments in India's external trade in the first half of current year have been encouraging. Diversification in export and import market achieved. 
  •  Current account deficit at 3.6 per cent of GDP for 2011-12 and reduced net capital inflow in the 2nd and 3rd quarters put pressure on exchange rate. 
  •  India's GDP growth in 2012-13 expected to be 7.6 per cent +/- 0.25 per cent. 
  •  Deterioration in fiscal balance in 2011-12 due to slippages in direct tax revenue and increased subsidies. 
FRBM ACT
  •  Introduction of amendments to the FRBM Act as part of Finance Bill, 2012. 
  •  Concept of "Effective Revenue Deficit" and "Medium Term Expenditure 
  •  Framework" statement are two important features of amendment to FRBM Act in the direction of expenditure reforms. 
  •  Effective Revenue Deficit is the difference between revenue deficit and grants for creation of capital assets. This will help in reducing consumptive component of revenue deficit and create space for increased capital spending. 
  •  "Medium-term Expenditure Framework" statement will set forth a three-year rolling target for expenditure indicators. 
  •  Recommendations of the Expert Committees to streamline and reduce the number of centrally sponsored schemes and to address plan and non-plan classification to be kept in view while implementing Twelfth Plan. 
  •  Central Plan Scheme Monitoring System to be expanded for better tracking and utilisation of funds. 
SUBSIDIES
  •  Some subsidies, while being inevitable, may become undesirable if they compromise the macroeconomic fundamentals of economy. 
  •  Subsidies related to administering the Food Security Act will be fully provided for. 
  •  Endeavour to keep central subsidies under 2 per cent of GDP in 2012-13. Over next 3 year, to be further brought down to 1.75 per cent of GDP. 
  •  Based on recommendation of task force headed by Shri Nandan Nilekani, a mobile-based Fertilizer Management System has been designed to provide endto-end information on movement of fertilisers and subsidies. Nation-wide roll out during 2012. 
  •  All three public sector Oil Marketing Companies have launched LPG transparency portals to improve customer service and reduce leakage.

Dr. Surjit Patar -Poet of the Personal and the Political



After Shiv Kumar Batalvi, Mohan Singh, Surjit Patar has a cast charming effect on general reading public. His lyrical language seems to hold them in trance, and literray critics have marveled at the new horizons toward which poetry continues ot aspire.

Born in 1944, at Patran village, which became his  Takhalash as Patar. You can meet a very light weight man, champion of Punjabi poetry welcoming you with a nikki jehi smile all the time whenever you visit him, even without any information in advance. Surjit Patar achieved an M.A.from Punjabi University, Patiala. Later on, he and Dr Kairon  did Ph.D in Punjabi on Elements of Folklore in the Poetry of Guru Nanak Dev and again Patar joined the academic profession with Doctor da Khitaab.

Patar appeared on the Punjabi poetry scene in the 60s, always use to spoke to the audience in an intimate manner about his poetic journey and also the creative process of some of his famous poems. Patar started writing poems in his college days at Kapurthala,may be willing to be a musician. He says such facilities were not in a village. The college had a library and I read voraciously. Poets Bawa Balwant and Harbhajan Singh, influenced me in the early days, he was telling like a story of his past. Shiv Kumar Batalvi was also gaining popularity at that time, it was only later that we could assess the merit of his verses. Sohan Singh Misha with his modern tone appealed more to my youthful heart, he continued.

Actually, his name looks better as it was without a Dr before his name. He has retired as Professor of Punjabi from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana not from poetry.  He is one of the most prominent poets of Punjabi, who has kept alive the tradition of lyric along with his verses. He has attracted and charmed the poetry lovers by his ghazals in Taranum and steals the show many times.
He has achieved awards-

  •  1993: Sahitya Akademi Award for Hanere vich Sulghdi Varnmala

  •  1999: Panchnad Puruskar by Bhartiya Bhasha Parishad ,Kolkata

  •  2009: Saraswati Samman (India's highest literary award ) by K.K.Birla foundation for "Lafzan Di Dargah"

ਓਹ ਤਾਂ ਬਸ ਏਨਾ ਸਮਝੀ
ਪੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਰੂਹ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਖ ਹੈ ਕੋਈ

ਪਰ ਇਸਦਾ ਦੁਖ ਮੇਰੇ ਹੁੰਦਿਆਂ
ਆਇਆ ਕਿਥੋਂ ?

ਨੀਝ ਲਾ ਕੇ ਦੇਖੀ
ਮੇਰੀ ਅਨਪੜ ਮਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਕਵਿਤਾ
ਦੇਖੋ ਲੋਕੋ
ਕੁਖੋਂ ਜਾਏ
ਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ
ਦੁਖ ਕਾਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦਸਦੇ ਨੇ

ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਾਗਜ਼ ਚੁਕ ਸੀਨੇ ਨੂੰ ਲਾਇਆ
ਖਬਰੇ ਇੱਦਾਂ ਹੀ
ਕੁਝ ਮੇਰੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਹੋਵੇ
ਮੇਰਾ ਜਾਇਆ

 

Ik Pal Sirf Mile Saan (ਇਕ ਪਲ ਸਿਰਫ ਮਿਲੇ ਸਾਂ …)


ਇਕ ਪਲ ਸਿਰਫ ਮਿਲੇ ਸਾਂ ਆਪਾਂ, ਤੂੰ ਉਗਮਣ ਮੈਂ ਅਸਤਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ
ਡੁੱਬਦਾ ਚੜਦਾ ਸੂਰਜ ਕੋਲੋ ਕੋਲ ਖੜੇ ਸੀ ਵਿਛੜਨ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਸੂਰਜ ਕਿਰਨ ਮਿਲਣ ਲੱਗੀ ਸੀ, ਜਲ ਕਾ ਜਲ ਹੋ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਸਾਂ ਮੈਂ
ਲੈ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਬੁਲਾਇਆ ਕਿਸ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਪਾਵਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਖੌਫਜ਼ਦਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਬੰਦੇ, ਫੇਰ ਵਫਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਸਮਾਂ ਦਿੰਦੇ
ਕੁਦਰਤ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ, ਡਰ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਪਰ ਹੋਵਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਸਾਡੇ ਰੂਪ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ, ਕੀ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਸਾਡੇ ਨਾਂ ਦਾ
ਡਰ ਕੇ ਪੱਥਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਨੇ ਬੰਦੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਹੋਵਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਤਨ ਮਨ ਰੂਹ ਦੇ ਵੇਸ ਉਤਾਰੇ, ਰੱਖ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਰਾਤ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ
ਕੰਠ ਸੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਦੀ ਗਾਨੀ, ਤੇਰੇ ਨੀਰ ‘ਚ ਉਤਰਨ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਕੰਡਿਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਉਲਝੀਦਾ, ਨਾ ਫੁੱਲਾਂ ‘ਤੇ ਹੱਕ ਧਰੀ ਦਾ,
ਬੱਸ ਹਵਾ ਹੀ ਹੋ ਜਾਈਦਾ, ਇਸ ਦੁਣੀਆਂ ‘ਚੋਂ ਗੁਜ਼ਰਨ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਅੱਗ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਹਿੱਕ ਵਿਚ ਰੱਖੀਂ, ਧੂੰਆਂ ਪਵੇ ਨ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਅੱਖੀਂ
ਮੇਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖੀਂ, ਕੋਈ ਨਜ਼ਮ ਕਸ਼ੀਦਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ

ਕਿੰਨੀ ਨੇ ਔਕਾਤ ਦੇ ਮਾਲਕ, ਕਿਸ ਸ਼ਿੱਦਤ ਜਜ਼ਬਾਤ ਦੇ ਮਾਲਕ
ਪਾਰਖੂਆਂ ਵੀ ਪਰਖੇ ਜਾਣਾ, ਤੇਰੀ ਗਜ਼ਲ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਖਣ ਲੱਗਿਆਂ……

 Ho Gaya Saaf Tal (ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਸਾਫ ਤਲ….)


ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਸਾਫ ਤਲ, ਸੰਭਲ ਗਏ ਮੇਰੇ ਜਲ
ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਪੱਥਰ ਨੂੰ ਤਹਿ ‘ਚ ਲੁਕੋ ਵੀ ਲਿਆ
ਨੀਰ ਵਿਚ ਨੂੰ ਸੀ ਕਿਨੇ ਦੇਖਣਾ
ਮੇਰੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਨੇ ਚੁਪ ਚਾਪ ਰੋ ਵੀ ਲਿਆ

ਹੁੰਦੀਆਮ ਉਂਜ ਤਾਂ ਸਭ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਸੁਰਾਂ
ਹੋਣ ਹਰ ਰਾਗ ਵਿਚ ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਵਰਜਿਤ ਸੁਰਾਂ
ਸਭ ਮੇਰੇ ਜ਼ਾਬਤੇ, ਰਾਗ ਦੇ ਵਾਸਤੇ
ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਬੰਦਿਸ਼ ‘ਚ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸਮੋ ਵੀ ਲਿਆ

ਜ਼ਹਿਰ ਤੇਰੀ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਹਜ਼ਮ ਵੀ ਕਰ ਲਈ
ਤੇਰੀ ਨਫਰਤ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਨਜ਼ਮ ਵੀ ਕਰ ਲਈ
ਤੂੰ ਜੋ ਬਖਸ਼ੇ ਸੀ ਉਹ ਜ਼ਖਮ ਫੁੱਲ ਬਣ ਗਏ
ਮੈਂ ਤੁਕਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਉਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਰੋ ਵੀ ਲਿਆ……

Dubbda Sooraj Haan


ਡੁੱਬਦਾ ਸੂਰਜ ਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਬੜੀ ਦੂਰ
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਅੰਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਕਥਾ ਦਾ ਮਨਜ਼ੂਰ

ਕੋਈ ਤਰਕੀਬ ਬਣਾ, ਤੋੜ ਦੇ ਕੋਈ ਦਸਤੂਰ
ਮਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹਯਾਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਮਿਲਣਾ ਏਂ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ

ਉਹਦੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਸੀ ਖੁਦਾ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ ਸੀ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਹਾਂ ਖੁਦਾ
ਉਹ ਤਾਂ ਫੜਿਆ ਨਾ ਗਿਆ ਚਾੜਤਾ ਸੂਲੀ ਮਨਸੂਰ

ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਹਾਂ ‘ਚ ਵਿਛਾਏ ਸੀ ਤੁਸਾਂ ਥਲ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤ
ਦੇਖ ਲਉ ਆਪ ਦੇ ਦਰ ਫੇਰ ਵੀ ਹਾਜ਼ਰ ਹਾਂ ਹਜ਼ੂਰ

ਮੇਘ ਕਣੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਭਰੇ, ਅੰਬਾਂ ਦੇ ਝੁੰਡਾਂ ਦੇ ਝੁਕੇ
ਕੋਲ ਇਕ ਦੂਜੇ ਦੇ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਤੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਦੂਰ

ਮੈਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਡੁੱਬ ਕੇ ਲਿਖੀ, ਤੂੰ ਵੀ ਉਵੇਂ ਗਾਈਂ ਗਜ਼ਲ
ਹੋਣ ਆਲਮ ‘ਚ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਫਜ਼ ਤੇਰੇ ਸੁਰ ਮਸ਼ਹੂਰ………

Nikal Na Jawan


ਸਿਮ ਸਿਮ ਬਰਫਾਂ ਢਲਦੀਆਂ, ਨਿਮ ਨਿਮ ਪਾਣੀ ਬਹਿ ਰਹੇ
ਛਮ ਛਮ ਕਣੀਆਂ ਵਰਦੀਆਂ, ਝਿਮ ਝਿਮ ਰਿਸ਼ਮਾਂ ਕਰਦੀਆਂ
ਕੀ ਸੁਣਨੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਮੈਂ ਮੁੱਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਦੇਸ਼ ਮੈਂ
ਆਲਮ ਦਾ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਹੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਅੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ…..

ਮਿਠਾਸ ਝੂਠ ਦੀ ਪੀ ਪੀ ਨਾ ਟੁੱਟਣਾ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦਾ ਤਾਪ
ਲਿਆ ਜੇ ਸੱਚ ਦੀ ਕੌੜੀ ਕਿਤੋਂ ਕੁਨੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਅੱਜ ਕਲ ਉਹ ਵਾਕ ਬੁਣਦਾ, ਲਫਜ਼ਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਾਲ ਉਣਦਾ
ਕਿਤੇ ਨਜ਼ਮ ਹੋਣੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਦਿਲ ‘ਚੋਂ ਨਿਕਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ..

 

 Channan vi kuch karan Mai


ਚਾਨਣ ਵੀ ਕੁਛ ਕਰਾਂ ਮੈਂ, ਐਵੇਂ ਹੀ ਬਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ
ਅੰਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਛੂਹਣੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮਿੱਟੀ ‘ਚ ਰਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ

ਤਨ ਦੇ ਲਿਬਾਸ ਅੰਦਰ ਇਕ ਲਹਿਰ ਹਾਂ ਤੜਪਦੀ
ਦਰਿਆ ਦਿਸੇ ਤਾਂ ਕੰਬਾਂ ਕਿਤੇ ਇਸ ‘ਚ ਰਲ ਨਾ ਜਾਵਾਂ

ਤੇਰੀ ਲਹਿਰ ਲਹਿਰ ਰੰਗ ਕੇ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ‘ਚ ਅਸਤ ਹੋਣਾ
ਰਾਹ ਵਿਚ ਨ ਸ਼ਾਮ ਪੈ ਜਏ, ਕਿਤੇ ਦੂਰ ਢਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ

ਚਾਨਣ ਜਦੋਂ ਕਰੀਦਾ, ਤਾਂ ਸੇਕ ਵੀ ਜਰੀਦਾ
ਏਦਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰੀਦਾ ਹਾਇ ਮੈਂ ਬਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ

ਅੱਜ ਕਲ ਉਹ ਵਾਕ ਬੁਣਦਾ, ਲਫਜ਼ਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਾਲ ਉਣਦਾ
ਕਿਤੇ ਨਜ਼ਮ ਹੋਣੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਦਿਲ ‘ਚੋਂ ਨਿਕਲ ਨ ਜਾਵਾਂ…………

Tere Kalaam Nu


ਤੇਰੇ ਕਲਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਜਜ਼ਬੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਮਿਲੇ
ਦਿਖਾਈ ਦੇਣ, ਜੇ ਹੰਝੂ ਦੀ ਖੁਰਦਬੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਸਦਾ ਭਟਕਦਾ ਰਿਹਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਗਜ਼ਲ ਦਾ ਖਾਨਾਬਦੋਸ਼
ਨਵਾਂ ਖਿਆਲ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਂ ਨਵੀਂ ਜ਼ਮੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਹਰੇਕ ਲਫਜ਼ ਨੁੰ ਕੱਟਦੇ ਨੇ ਇਉਂ ਕਿ ਰੱਤ ਨਿਕਲੇ
ਤੇਰੇ ਕਲਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਆ ਖੂਬ ਨੁਕਤਾਚੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਉਹ ਲਾਹ ਕੇ ਲੈ ਗਿਆ ਤਸਵੀਰ ਪਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਹਿੱਕ ਵਿਚ
ਉਹ ਮੇਖ ਭੁੱਲ ਗਿਆ ਆਖੀਂ ਜੇ ਉਹ ਮਕੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਦੁਫਾੜ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਜ਼ਮੀਨਾਂ ਤੇ ਚੀਰ ਰੂਹੋਂ ਬਦਨ
ਸਿਊਣ ਵਾਸਤ ਵਿਧਵਾ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਮਸ਼ੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਹਰੇਕ ਕੋਲ ਸੀ ਅਪਣਾ ਅਲੱਗ-ਅਲੱਗ ਪਾਣੀ
ਝਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਕੰਡੇ ਤੇ ਲਾਹੌਰ ਦੇ ਸ਼ੁਕੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਮਿਠਾਸ ਝੂਠ ਦੀ ਪੀ ਪੀ ਨਾ ਟੁੱਟਣਾ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦਾ ਤਾਪ
ਲਿਆ ਜੇ ਸੱਚ ਦੀ ਕੌੜੀ ਕਿਤੋਂ ਕੁਨੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ

ਸਿਵੇ ਚੋਂ ਲੈ ਗਏ ਪਹਿਚਾਣ ਕੇ ਉਹ ਸੀਨੇ ਦੀ ਲਾਟ
ਖੁਦਾ ਦਾ ਸ਼ੁਕਰ ਕਿ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਜਾਂਨਸ਼ੀਨ ਮਿਲੇ……..

Aapodhapi macch Gayi


ਆਪੋਧਾਪੀ ਮੱਚ ਗਈ, ਝੂਠ ਬਦੀ ਖੁਦਗਰਜ਼ੀਆਂ
ਸਭ ਦੀ ਸਾਂਝੀ ਫੌਜ਼ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ‘ਤੇ ਹੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ
ਮੇਰੇ ਵੇਂਹਦਿਆਂ ਵੇਂਹਦਿਆਂ ਭੇਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿਉਂ ਹਰ ਕੋਈ
ਵਸਦੇ ਰਸਦੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿਚ ਕੱਲਾ ਕੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ

ਬਿਰਤੀ ਜਿਹੀ ਬਿਖੇਰਦਾ, ਲੱਗੀ ਟੇਕ ਉਖੇੜਦਾ
ਸੁਰਤ ਭੁਲਾਈ ਜਾਂਵਦਾ, ਅੱਖੀਂ ਘੱਟਾ ਪਾਂਵਦਾ
ਕੱਪੜ-ਲੀੜ ਉਡਾਂਵਦਾ, ਝੱਖੜ ਆਇਆ ਲਾਂਭ ਦਾ
ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸਾਂਭਦਾ ਯਾਰੋਂ ਝੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ

ਬੀਤੇ ਦਾ ਨਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਕਰ, ਬਸ ਤੂੰ ਅਗਲਾ ਫਿਕਰ ਕਰ
ਪੁੰਗਰੀ ਪੌਧ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਤੂੰ, ਮਰ ਨਾ ਮਰਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਤੂੰ
ਹੁਣ ਕੀ ਬਹਿ ਕੇ ਰੋਵਣਾ, ਗਮ ਦੀ ਚੱਕੀ ਝੋਵਣਾ
ਜਿਹੜਾ ਕੁੱਝ ਸੀ ਹੋਵਣਾ ਉਹ ਤਾਂ ਮੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ

ਸਿਮ ਸਿਮ ਬਰਫਾਂ ਢਲਦੀਆਂ, ਨਿਮ ਨਿਮ ਪਾਣੀ ਬਹਿ ਰਹੇ
ਛਮ ਛਮ ਕਣੀਆਂ ਵਰਦੀਆਂ, ਝਿਮ ਝਿਮ ਰਿਸ਼ਮਾਂ ਕਰਦੀਆਂ
ਕੀ ਸੁਣਨੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਮੈਂ ਮੁੱਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਦੇਸ਼ ਮੈਂ
ਆਲਮ ਦਾ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਹੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਅੱਲਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ…..

Paash and Patar


ਇਹ ਕਵਿਤਾ ਪਾਸ਼ ਨੇ ਪਾਤਰ ਤੇ ਲਿਖੀ ਸੀ
ਰੇਤ ਦੇ ਟਿਬਿੱਆ ਵਿੱਚ
ਸਾਡਾ ਜਨਮ ਦੋਹਾ ਦਾ
ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ
ਸਾਨੂੰ ਦੇਖ ਮਾ ਦਾ ਚੇਹਰਾ
ਹੱਸਿਆ ਫੇਰ ਰੋਇਆ ਸੀ
ਹੱਸਿਆ ਇਸ ਲਈ
ਜੱਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿਜੂ
ਚਲਦਾ ਵੰਸ਼ ਸਾਡਾ ਇਹ
ਰੋਇਆ ਇਸ ਲਈ
ਕਿੰਜ ਕੱਟਣਗੇ
ਜੀਵਨ ਪੰਧ ਦੁਰਾਡਾ ਇਹ
ਨਾ ਤਾ ਉਸ ਦਿਨ ਸਾਡੇ ਚਾਚੇ
ਪੈਰ ਵਤਨ ਵਿਚ
ਪਾਇਆ ਸੀ
ਨਾ ਹੀ ਸਾਡਾ ਬਾਪੂ
ਜੇਲੋ ਛੁੱਟ ਕੇ ਆਇਆ ਸੀ
ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਰਹੀ ਉਡੀਕ ਖਤਾ ਦੀ
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਰਹੀ ਜਵਾਬਾ ਦੀ
ਉਸ ਚਿੜੀਆ ਦੇ ਜਖਮ ਪੋਲਸੇ
ਮੈ ਰਿਹਾ
ਟੋਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਾਜਾ ਦੀ
ਮੈ ਗਾਲਾ ਦੀ ਡਿਗਰੀ ਕੀਤੀ
ਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਰਾਗਾ ਦੀ
ਉਹ ਰਾਗਾ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੈ ਸੋਦਾ
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਲੋੜ ਨਾ ਸਾਜਾ ਦੀ
ਮੇਰੀ ਹਿਕੜੀ ਵਿਚ
ਪੱਥਰ ਉੱਗਦੇ
ਉਸਦੀ ਹਿਕੜੀ ਬਾਗਾ ਦੀ
ਉਹ ਫੁੱਲਾ ਦੀ
ਛਾਵੇ ਬਹਿੰਦਾ
ਤੇ ਮੈ ਫਨੀਅਰ ਨਾਗਾ ਦੀ
ਚੱਲਦੇ ਚੱਲਦੇ
ਰਾਹਾ ਦੇ ਵਿਚ
ਆਇਆ ਇਕ ਪੜਾਅ
ਰੁਲਦੇ ਰੁਲਦੇ
ਰੁਲ ਗਏ ਯਾਰੋ
ਮੈ ਤੇ ਪਾਤਰ ਸਕੇ ਭਰਾ——
