Hindi Poetry on Social Issues: मत दो

मत दो, hindi poetry on social issues highlights how our society has shaped itself wherein the powerful people control how we think and act in this world, without realizing that we are making a choice out of free will, however we choose out the options which are presented to us tactfully by people who are in control.

Many of us, naively follow the rhetoric presented to us by media (social, print and tv). We accept without questioning and move on to something else, another distraction that can keep us occupied. What if we are influenced to stop doing basic things, some of which are presented in the piece below – does it sound awkward? May be, yes! Let’s keep thinking freely, and let’s keep doing the right things!

Hindi Poetry on Social Issues

Here it goes: मत दो, hindi poetry on social issues


गुनहगार को कोई सज़ा मत दो
जहाँ में प्यार को रज़ा मत दो

प्यासे को पानी की बूँद मत दो
किसी को पल भर का सुकून मत दो

सूरज को आसमान में जगह मत दो
बादलों को रोको, बरसने मत दो

दो पल की एक दूजे को मोहलत मत दो
बड़े बूढ़ों को कोई इज़्ज़त मत दो

अपाहिज को बैसाखी का सहारा मत दो
डूबने दो, कश्ती को किनारा मत दो

रहने दो, खुदा को इबादत मत दो
हम खुश हैं, हमें सोचने की इजाज़त मत दो
