WITH FLAGS OF PEACE
Poet : Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar
No matter how vigorous
The drum-beat of war may be
We shall hold fast
The banner of peace aloft!
And the suppression of the voice of peace
We shall not allow!
From the dawn of history
We have faith in peace and humanity,
Gautam and Gandhi are dearest to our hearts!
Molesting anyone is sin for us,
We come not in any body's way
Quarrels we do not pick,
World friendship and mutual love
Is our message eternal,
Enough affection have we
For the tormented and destructed world!
Our hands will uplift the down-trodden,
And we shall save
Millions of down-cast mute molested
Fear-stricken injured sisters
From the cruel clutches of the devils!
We love smiles of children innocent;
Alluring are the folk-songs of the shepherds and farmers!
We shall never let these songs of mirth
Turn into painful sighs and groans!
Nor let the smiles be blood-stained!
We pledge we shall never let the lightning
Crash on the innocent dreams of Resurgent Man!
" "
RESPONSE
Poet : Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar
From the nuclear explosion
Rose
The voice of Lord Buddha —
Let assured
Be peace,
Let everywhere
Be the glow of goodness!
Let secure
Be the civilization, culture and humanity,
Let evil disappear from the world!
Let the world be free
From violence and cruelty,
And be full of love and kindness!
Let not
Animal power
Celebrate now the festival of death anywhere!
Only then will meaningful
Be this great invention
Of knowledge and of science,
This matchless and wonderful
Gift of man!
" "
LIGHT
Poet : Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar
May the future of man —
From the darkness,
From the ever-spreading fear of cold war
Be free!
Be absolutely free!!
May the rays of pure reason
Spread far and wide,
May the forces hostile to progress
Be torn to shreds!
May the society from class and colour distinction,
And the man from man's bondage
Be free!
Be absolutely free!!
Let not the new mental horizon
Be overcast
By whirlwind, dust and lightning
Never
Oh Never!!
Nor let the crest of the new order
Crash and crumble down!
Let the pious divine efforts,
And the yearnings for world peace,
Adorn the Earth like golden dawn,
And redeem the world afflicted
And caress with love and affection,
Let not the pollen of new feelings
Be scorched and consumed by fire!
From the destructive power of various weapons
From the venomous and the devilish hate campaigns
May the modern civilisation
Be safe!
Be absolutely safe!!
