Patharvat - Amar Sheikh

A few days back, I remembered a poem I was taught in school in Marathi. I had loved it back then too and now I realize the core meaning of this. The poet tells us to come together and help break our old, obsolete beliefs and superstitions. The poet calls us to build a new society with new thoughts and ambitions that will take humanity back to glory.

Patharvat - Amar Sheikh

 

Junaat imala zala saara

Paduni taaka deuni dhakka

Aaj imarat junaat zali

Jeev akaran martil khali

Mhanuni adhi ya

Padun taka

Maara haka jamva loka

Lokashakticha sadhuni moka

Padun taaka

Aanik bandha navi imarat

Patharvat me navya yugatil ahech sobat

Asen jari me adnya rangada

Ek dagad tari ghadu dya re ya majhya hatuni

Ek channicha ek ghaav tari basudya re ya dagadavari

Manavteche navin mandir

Yethe banddha ya jagevar

Padun taka deuni dhakka
