Realizing impermanence – a poem.

Realizing impermanence – a poem.

Hum nahi honge

Saaz aur Sargam tab bhi honge.
Naach aur Nagma taab bhi honge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Suraj aur chnada taab bhi honge.
Phul aur shabnam taab bhi honge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Ghata aur munafa taab bhi honge.
Bachpan, Jawani aur budhapa taab bhi honge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Sukh aur dukhka chakra taab bhi hoga.
Hasana aur rona taab bhi hoga.

Per hum nahi honge.

Dharm aur dharmguru aate jayenge.
Paisewale aur garib badalte jayenge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Chamadike rang balte jayenge.
Riti aur riwajbhi badalte jayenge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Prem aur ghruna ek dusremein badalte rahenge.
Gaanewale aur sunnewale badalte rahenge.

Per hum nahi honge.

Sansarke andheremein log bhatakte rahenge.
Ek dusareko doshit karate rahenge.
Is subse chhutke koi buddha nikalbhi jayega.

Per uske saath hum nahi honge.

Music and musicians will always be there
Dance and entertainment will always be there.

But we will not be there.

Sun and the moon will always be there
Flowers and morning dew will always be there.

But we will not be there.

Profits and losses will always be there
Childhood, youth, and old age will always be there.

But we will not be there.

Cycles of happiness and unhappiness will keep on going
Cycles of laughing and crying also will keep on going

But we will not be there

Religions and preachers will keep on coming
Rich and poor will keep on rotating

But we will not be there

The colors of the skin will keep changing
Rituals and beliefs will keep on changing

But we will not be there

Love and hate will keep rotating
Singers and listeners will keep changing
But we will not be there

In the darkness of Sansar, people will still keep bumping into each other.

For their sufferings, they will still keep blaming each other

Rising above all these, some Buddhas will rise to the enlightenment

But with him, sadly, we will not be there.

Realize the flimsiness of Sansar.

Realize that there is nothing yours and nothing will be yours.

Sansar (including your body and mind ) is a mesmerizing movie that you ( as consciousness ) are watching as a spectator.

Only YOU ( the consciousness ) are YOURS.

As a body and the mind, you are only playing a role.

The actual operator is the consciousness through you.

Dissolve yourself and realize Him.
