Ardh Satya: Half Truth

Well my obsession to this poem by the maratha maestro Dilip Chitre made many a friends laugh at me.... Those were good days when people kept looking for an opportunity to pull your leg. Still i think this poem deserves a mention and so here it is..... A really thought provoking work.


Chakravyuh mein ghusne se pehle kaun tha main, aur kaisa tha
Yeh mujhe yaad hi na rahe

Chakravyuh mein ghusne ke baad
Merey our chakravuyh ke beech sirf jaan leva nikatta (nearness) thi
Is ka mujhe patha he na chaley

Chakravyuh se bahar nikalney paar main mukth ho javun baley hi.
Fir bhi chakravyuh ke rachna mei farkh hi naa padega

Marun ya maaron mara javun ya jaan se mar doon
Iska faisla kabhi na ho payega

Soya hua admi jab neend mein se utkhar chalnaa shuru karta hai
Tab saapnon ka saansar usey dubara dhek hi nahi payega

Us roshni mei,
Jo nirnay ki roshni hai
Saab kuch saaman hoga kya?

Ek paladey mei napun sakta
Dusrey paladey par paarush
Aur theek tarazu ke kaantey paar

Ardh satya

Thank you for the poem. I however remember that the poem was recited
twice in Ardha Satya. First time when Om Puri reads the book.That is
the stanza that you have given. The second time when he was
contemplating something towards the end. In the second part there was
the line "Ek palad par Zindagi ek palad par maut//aur Tarazu ke kaante
par Ardha Satya" Can any body with either a DVD/VCD of the film or
access to a good Hindi Library help? It is indeed a very powerful
poem.
