Mind Not Free

Though our body has become independent still, our mind is not, we have - Broken the chain of British Rule changed History, changed the times Man has become free yet, Books of Religion, Still confine God, We have - By our strength and sweat, spring-ed the autumn. Nightingale has become free - still seasons bind the spring. Our ideal - A city on the starry -sky. Still our pooja, is limited to temples and shrines. Every one says- We're one, ours is one country. still hatred is The current slogan. Our salvation - Ides under one flag. Our is - One, aim, one goal. Then why ? Some are ahead, some behind some about the start some at their journey's end : We have - Restored the Throne - of Delhi Tri-color now flutters at the Fort ( Red). At jet-speed We're moving forward. Iron-bars of Religion still cage us. (Translated by R.P. CHADDAH)
