☆ Let’s light a lamp… ☆
Let’s light a lamp
at the door,
that is guarded by
the superstition…!
Let’s light a lamp
in front of the street
where hunger came
and stayed on…!
Let’s light a lamp
on the platform
where resides
the Indianness…!
Let’s light one lamp
at the rampart
where flutters the
tricolor of mine…!
Let’s light a lamp to
mitigate the disaster,
And one, at the tempest
of transformation…!
Let’s light a lamp at the
grave of martyrs, and
reverberate the world
with deafening salutations…!
