Ranchi

Stand near the window to peep I lost into the thought deep Or Ranchi is lost somewhere Meadow, Orchard and Pond Swarnrekha"s Shining water Everything is lost on the cost Of modernity, Culture like vulture Became the instinct bird How deadly brooks Turned into the dirty drain Chastity is out of brain. Still we sing the song Of eternity, Folk song, Sadari, Mundari Oraon and the mixed Magahi Of rural and town, Some at the lost stage Or some exist Without Gown Or with infirmity, My home is unknown to me Faces already faded Feared always When I am there Development On the lap of destruction A chaos of mind All are happy, I doubt How it will be Without fraternity! // (RANCHI is the Capital of JHARKHAND an Indian Eastern State and my home town Sawarnrekha is a river, Sawarn means Gold)
