काँधे पे काँवर लेकर चला
अब क्यों न करू मैं गुमान
एक पल रे में लक्ष्मी जी सोहै
दूजे मई है भगवान
मेरे काँधे पे भाग महान
सच का ये पथ है मेरा तीरथ है
रस्ते पे अब ना रुकूंगा
मां-बाप का भार कलियों से हल्का
इस बार से ना झुकूंगा
सर के उठाके आगे बढ़ूँगा
आँधी हो या तूफ़ान
माता पिता के काँधे पे था कभी
बचपन ये मेरा झूला
आज ये झूले काँधे पर मेरे
चूला मैं फूला-फूला
आशा ये इनकी पूर्ण करूँगा
प्राणो में जब तक प्राण
This is a proud time when I walk with this kaavar on my shoulder! On one side there is my Lakshmi Goddess and on the other side, there is my bhagvan, my god. These greatest of greats are on my shoulders!
This path is my truth, it is my pilgrimage. I will not delay any more. The weight of my parents on my shoulders is that of beautiful flowers. I will neither bow nor delay. I will stride ahead with my head held high and face any storm or challenge.
In my childhood days, I was on my parents’ shoulders. Their shoulders were my swing, my play. Today this swing is on my shoulders. I hope and pray to be able to complete this mission. As long as there is life in me, I shall flourish in this task.
Shravan Kumar (1956); Mohammed Rafi
