Beh Gaye: Poem for Uttarakhand Relief [Amitabh Bachchan, Prasoon Joshi]


This is the poem written by Prasoon Joshi appealing to help the flood victims of Uttarankhand and do our best for them. Recited by Amitabh Bachchan, the poem describes the deep sadness of the situation, at the same time reminding us of our common force and tells us that we can help those in distress and rebuild the state.

Do listen to it, and help as much as you can, the way you can. Thanks.

The poem in Devnagari and Roman is here, along with English Translation.



बह गया वो घर
बह गयीं घर में रखी तसवीरें
तस्वीरों में मुस्कुराते चेहरे बह गए
परिवार बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बह गयी वो प्रार्थना
श्रद्धा में झुके शीश बह गए
सुना है एक माँ का जब एक बच्चा बहा
माँ देख उसे कूद पड़ी नदिया में..

बह गयीं लोरियां
बच्चों की किलकारियां
पिता बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बहे करोड़ों आंसू हिन्दुस्तान के
करोड़ों आंसू है,
लेकिन करोड़ों हम भी हैं
चलो पूछें इन्हें

दोस्त बनें, बच्चे बनें किसी के
माँ बनें, पिता बनें
परिवार बनें किसी के
सूरज उगायें, उम्मीद जगाएं
चलो, एक सुबह बनाएं किसी की..

bah gaya wo ghar
bah gayiN ghar mein rakhi tasveerein
tasveeroN mein muskuraate chehre beh gaye
parivaar beh gaye, saikdoN, hazaaroN

beh gayi wo praarthana
shraddhaa mein jhuke sheesh beh gaye,
suna hai ek maa ka jab ek bachcha baha
maa dekh use kood padi nadiya mein

beh gayiN loriyaan,
bachchon ki kilkaariyaaN
pitaa beh gaye, saikdoN, hazaaroN

bahe karoDoN aansoo Hindustan ke,
karoDoN aansoo hain,
lekin karoDoN hum bhi hain..
chalo poochhein inhein,

Dost banein, bachche banein kisi ke
maa banein, pitaa banein
parivaar banein kisi ke
sooraj ugaayein, ummeed jagaayein
chalo, ek subah banaayein kisi ki

That house was swept away,
The pictures kept in the house were swept too,
The faces, smiling in the pictures, were swept away,
families flowed away, hundreds, thousands..

That prayer was swept away,
the heads bowed down in reverence were swept away,
It was heard, that when a mother's child flowed,
she jumped into the river, seeing her..

lullabies were swept,
squeals of childrens were swept..
fathers were swept away, hundreds, thousands..

Millions of India's tears flowed away
The tears are in millions,
but we are in millions too..
Come, let's care for them..

Be a friend, a child to someone..
Be a mother, a father,
Be famile to someone..
Let's rise a sun, rise a hope..
Come, let's make a morning for someone..
