What is the idea of India?
My friend, have you wondered
Ever, where your India lies?
Does it lie where you give in to lies?
Or does it rest along the fault lines,
Of a few fractured, visionary minds?
Where does it look for water
When thirst overpowers it for decades?
Have you ever wondered whether
The desert in the West has spread
To the heart, polarized in a quest
To paint an Oasis, above a mirage?
Away from the mysteries of words
Away from novelists, and poets,
Where summer and rain bless the shades,
Into that silent light of freedom,
May my country awake.
