Fire On Border Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Fire on border

Burning topic
I lack instant basic
Yet seize the tempo
And earnestly go

The ideas invade
And trade
Some changes
But finally emerge

Mind is totally seized
With innocents fired upon
By forces who were to ensure law and order
But could not see the impeding danger

The judiciary erred in speculation
It remained merely to the point of condemnation
About approach and steps to be taken by Government
It failed to grasp the situation of more losses at that moment

No one could imagine
And define what was hidden
Even Baba Rahim* would have not liked certain behavior
As it involved religious fervor

The approach could have been more reasonable
Why should there have been wide publicity by media people?
Who arrogantly exciting the public opinion
And inflaming surcharged atmosphere for Indian Nation

As we are already seized on many fronts
The Chinese and Pakistani's are sparing no efforts
To add fuel to fire on border
The situation is in grave danger

Rahim: - Name taken from holy book
