woh kaun deshbakt hai

Jo lafzoh mein na hui bayan,
Yeh desh wo kahani hai,
Jab maine mummy se pucha
Woh kaun deshbakt hai?(x2)

Meri mummy ne kahan-
Jo dhoop mein jale,
Jo barish mein bheege,
Jo bhooke rehkr pura din dhoop mein hal chale,
Woh sacha deshbakt hai!(x2)

Jo lafzoh mein na hui bayan,
Yeh desh wo kahani hai,
Jab maine papa se yeh puch,
Woh kaun deshbakt hai!(x2)

Mere papa ne yeh bola,
Jisne apna sab kuch choda,
Jisne raat aur din ko joda,
Jisne mitti ko oda aur
Jo goli khakr na roya,
Woh sacha deshbakt hai!(x2)

Jo lafzoh mein na hui bayan,
Yeh desh wo kahani hai,
Jab maine bhaiya se yeh puch,
Woh kaun deshbakt hai!(x2)

Mere bhaiya phir yeh bola
Jo bimari se lade,
Jo zindagi or maut ko smajhe,
Jo haste haste bimaroh ko thik kare,
woh sacha deshbakt hai!(x2)

Jab mein kamre mein roya,
Yeh meri kya zindagani hai!
Jab meri didi ne yh pucha,
Yeh kaunsi yeh diwaangi hai,
Tab lafzoh mein maine ki bayan apni yeh kahani hai,

Na khetoh mein tapa,
Na kabhi seema pr lada,
Na kabhi aspatalo khada,
Kya mein sacha deshbakt hu (x2)

Meri didi yuh hasi,
Phir muskarakr yuh boli,
Jo roote hua ko chup kare,
Jo bhooke ko khilayeh,
Jo batke ko raasta dikhaye,
Jo kare sabki madad.
Woh sacha insaan h,
woh sacha deshbakt hai!

गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

सीमा पर खड़ा वो सैनिक कभी नहीं घबराता है,
जान से ज़्यादा कीमती देश रक्षा है; वह सबको यह बतलाता है।
इसलिए गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

खोफ़ नहीं है उसे दुश्मन का, बहुतों को सबक सिखाया है;
जब भी पड़ी बुरी नजर मातृभूमि पर, मुंह उसका काला कर दिखाया है।
इसलिए गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

छुट्टियों में घर ना जाने पर,बिटिया उसकी रोई है;
घर वालों का धैर्य बांधकर, पत्नी खुद चिंता में सोई है।
इसलिए गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

आंख गड़ाए दरवाज़े पर, माँ की आंख ना थकती है;
वीर आए या वीरगति की खबर, वीर की माँ के लिए सबसे बड़ी देशभक्ति है।
इसलिए गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

ऐसी एक नहीं अनेक वीर माओं का हाथ है मेरे देश पर,
इसलिए गर्व है मुझे मेरे भारत देश पर।

Hindustan ❤

Kya Hindu Kya Muslim,
Kya Sikh Kya Isai,
Matt Puchna Uska Jaat Dharm,
Yaha Har Ek Hai Dusre Ka Bhai !

Matt Sochna Ke Seema Naapkar,
Machaoge Tum Tabahi,
Waqt Aane Par Bann Jaata Hai,
Yaha Baccha Baccha Sipahi !

Panchi Banke Udte Hai,
Na Roke Koi Hamari Udaan,
Dushman Ke Aage Hum Na Jhukte,
Hai Yeh Hamari Pehchan !

Veeron Ki Iss Dharti Pe,
Humne Kitne Khoon Bahaye,
Iss Dharti Ki Kok Me Humne,
Kitne Sher Dafnaye !

Matt Bhulna Tum Ke Karz Hai,
Unka Beshumar Hum Pe,
Hume Mili Hai Azaadi,
Jinn Shaheedo Ke Dum Pe !

Batati Hai Har Waqt
Hume Hamari Maa,
Ye Bharat Hai Prem Ka
Ek Pyara Gulistan,

Karne Se Pehle Iss Desh Se
Koi Bhi Gaddari,
Behtar Hoga Ke Lutado
Bin Soche Apni Jaan !

Jai Hind 🇮🇳❤

Becoming Immortal

My daily regime of counting the days,
Frontiers summoning you, to calm the blaze,
In the agony of mind, and perpetual dread,
I'd kiss you goodbye with things left unsaid.

Your imminent departure always left a void,
In my heart so naive, with reasons to be annoyed,
My desolate mornings, with dreams untrue,
My pillows cold, now smelled less like you.

I've imagined you stride in your warrior suits,
In my devilish joy, I'd practice your salutes,
When you called me from some Afghan cave,
Tears met my smile, as I whimpered being brave.

Your military badge, with the flag so bright,
I marveled at it daily, wishing we'd reunite,
Entrusting me with it, and promises made,
You hugged and left on the day of the parade.

Weeks flew by but no calls from your side,
Fate played out, brought this dreadful tide,
You gained freedom, by paying the price,
Unforgettable honour, the ultimate sacrifice.

It's the 15th again, and the country glows,
Parades again, my heart in painful throes,
You'll look down proudly holding heavenly scrolls,
Your memory kept alive in millions of souls.

Belief 

Believing in my country,
is where my patriotism lies.
Believing in Gandhi, when he said not to lose faith in humanity,
is where my patriotism lies.
Loving all religions, embracing the different cultures,
is where my patriotism lies.

My patriotism never believed
in worthless dispute with other
countries, and making them deceive.
Yes, but it surely believes
in our soldiers who protects this motherland, and fights till the moment they last breathe.

From the road of Independence till this day,
Our country have come a long way.
With immense respect, I feel proud to say,
I am an Indian,
who feels devoted to her country and nobody could ever take that away.

"PATRIOTISM "

The nation I live in
is more than a wonder,
love for the nation
is more than the thunder.
People who belong here
can die for their nation,
You ask me for a reason?
I say it's patriotism.

It's not me it's us,
unity defining our trust.
Justice, liberty, equality and fraternity
ensures my nation's eternity.
We show the world
the strength of our nation,
You ask me for a reason?
I say it's patriotism.

We pat our shoulder whenever
we are called an Indian,
We hold our head bolder whenever
We are called an Indian.
We warm our hearts
with the deed of our soldiers.
When the nation needs us
We are there to hold her,
You ask for a reason?
I say it's patriotism

The above poem is about the definition of patriotism according to me. The above poem content is not about hurting someone 's feeling or emotions. I respect my nationality and others as well
Hope u get the message of my short poetry.

Not all Patriots go to wars,
And bleed for a country that is yours.
Not all Patriots do a Dandi March,
Like our dearest Bapuji on the twelfth of March.

Some simply without any hesitation,
On hearing our National Anthem do rise.
Some happily for the sake our nation,
Sacrifice their children on the battlefield that lies.

Some do not litter our country's street,
And let others not do otherwise.
Some with equal respect do treat,
The poor and needy, oh! Humanity never dies.

Some despite what others may say,
Always do what is right.
Straight, bisexual, lesbian or gay,
They know what matters is a personality that's bright.

And what do these people get in return?
Well, nothing but a thought so right,
"That's my patriotism!" In their mind does burn,
Consuming the evil with a patriotic light.

The Medical Officer

Wearing the Olive garb
I represent my Nation.
When it comes to saving lives
I don't do any discrimination.

Living near the border lines,
We fight against all Odds.
We live for our motherland
Its a blessing our mothers understand.

When it comes to battleground,
The Braves take bullets to their hearts;
While I fidget with my scalpel and forceps
To keep those hearts alive.

My oath says Humanity first.
My uniform says country first.
O! I can revive you again,
After killing you for my Nation!

The True Colours Of Patriotism

Clad in saffron, white and green,
Crowned with a wreath of indigo,
Steadily, yet hesitantly I approach the stage,
Intimidated by the crowds dispersed before.

Trembling hands held the thin white card,
With prompting words to declare,
'Jai Hind' I cry in thunderous tone,
As the sun, through the clouds, did glare.

For a moment I felt I'd served my land,
After all was said and done,
That my patriotism was shown in clarity,
With no deeds but with words, finespun.

As I took the path towards home that day,
I came across an indigent young lad,
Who possessed nothing but a radiant smile on his lips,
As he offered to the poor, all he had.

Next came a girl with a small sack of jute,
The same shade as the ties in her hair,
She hummed and hopped, and moved along the the street,
Collecting the scraps strewn everywhere.

It then occurred to me, as I dwelled on the thought,
That their patriotism shone brighter than mine ever could,
And that great speeches and songs were nothing in comparison,
To the duty they fulfilled for our country's good.

What is patriotism? 

 In a country of 1.3 billion, 

 Everyone has a different definition. 

 For some, joining the army is their dream, 

While for others, it's cheering for the national cricket team. 

 For some, it's representing our nation across the world, 

 While for others, it's loathing every other country, with spiteful words. 

 For some it's their grit to bring about a reformation, 

While for others, it's donning the tricolour for the independence day celebration. 

 For some, it's never failing to cast their vote, 

 While for others, they just prefer Mahatma Gandhi on the currency note. 

 For some, it's a wish to be remembered as a martyr, 

While for others, it's standing up for the national anthem at the theatre. 

 So what really is patriotism? 

 "Devotion and support to our country," they say. 

 But everyone tends to show it in their own distinct way. 

 No matter what form of patriotism we all display, 

The pride of being an Indian always remains the same.
