Have a Rose or any other Flower in your hand and read on
First Hindi version which is followed by International Version
Taken from bilingual poem collection ‘Poetic Buddha’ by Siddharth
आज मैने खुद को एक फूल दिया है
जो टूटा था… बिखरा था… जोड़ा है… जिया है
जिस्म का पैरहन, सलवटें वक़्त की
मन के कदमों पर बेड़ियां सख़्त सी
पिंजरों में पलती क़ौम को आकाश नया दिया है
जोड़ा है… जिया है
आज मैने खुद को एक फूल दिया है
International Version
A New Day.. Today
I have gifted a rose to Myself
Try doing that to Your self
Let the Poison flow
And the strength grow
See the sky beyond the bars of Cage
Break free of chains around
Make your mind a sage
Hey You, Have a date with you
Because
All Journeys end up with in you
