Poem: Koi Jang Meri Na Khushiyan Ujaade by Ravi Nitesh (India)

Kahani nahi hai ye teri meri

Ye hai ek daastan dard bhari si,

Sarhad pe rehne walon se puchho, 

Unke liye kya hain jeene ke maayne,

Vo kehte hain es saal fasal khoon ugi hai , 

Vo kehte hain baarish bhi badhiya hai aayi,

Dua bas hai honi itni kubool ab,

Mere khet me koi tank bomb na aaye,

Bagal ke jile me hai phulon ki kheti,

khushboo uski udkar mere khet aaye,

Dua bas hai honi, itni kubool ab,

Koi phool abki raunda na jaaye,

Na aaye yahan baarudon ki khushboo,

Sunayi na de mujhko cheekhein pukarein, 

Maalik mere bas itna hi de,

Koi jang meri na khushiya ujaade….

Poem: Jung Kyun Na Ho, Zaroor Honi Chahiye

by Ravi Nitesh (India)

Jung kyun na ho, Zaroor honi chahiye;
ba-sharte, jung ho behtaree ki.

Pehli jung ho tumhari khud tum se,
Jung ho tumhari ‘mai’ aur ‘hum’ se,
Tumhari jung ho tumhare har ek pal se,
aur tum jeetna chaho, har pal jeene ko, Zindgi banane ki jung.

Jung ho tumhari khud tumhare usoolon se,
aur tum banate raho bhalai aur tarakee ke usool,
Jung ho tumhari nafrat se, 
Aur tum nikaal phenko saara zeher khud se.
Jung es baat ke liye ho,
ki na lag jaaye jung tumhare khud ke wajood ko.

Aur vo jung, jiski waqalat tum kiya karte ho,
kabhi majhab ke thekedaar aur kabi siyasatdaar bankar,
darasal vo nishani hai ki lag chuka hai jung tum par,
Jung kyun na ho, zaroor honi chahiye, 
Jung utaarne ki jung, 
behtaree aur bhalai ki jung,
khud tum se tumharee jung.
