Kedian : Ants

With changing time everything is changing at fast pace. More effected are humanitarian approach, Our feeling towards needy and perceptions of life pain and humanity. One day while i was traveling i come across this nice and emotional poem, narrating the feelings of a kind hearted and sincere humanitarian's compassion and sympathy towards apathy of today's profit oriented and money minder society.It is in punjabi language.. very beautifully narrated and very touchy. ( I Just unable to recall the name of Poet).

Kedian hun kive chadangia,
shoping maal deian vadian te marmari paurian,

(How the will now ants be able to climb up,the big shiny and slippery stairs of Shopping maal)

Chad v gayan tan tur na sakangian
muh disde saaf farash te,

(Anyhow if they suceed in climbing then thwy will not be able to walk on mirror clean floor)

jithe vaar vaar pocha lagda e
na kuz dulda e na digda,

(Where cleaning is regularly form time to time, Noting is split or dropped)

ki chugangian eh vecharian kedian?

(What They will get for grazing)
(Till this point poet was discussing perplexes, confusions and troubles of modern day culture using ants as metaphor. Onwards he compares this with old social approach of kindness and helping human behavior )

Samain pahle eithe pansri di
nikki jihi haati si,
vichare nu bas gujare jogi khati si,

(Long time ago here was a small grocery shop of marginal merchant, who had small earning just enough to meet the needs of family)

aksar pepian, thelian cho sauda patta kadian
kuj na kuj dul janda kir janda,

(Often while taking out or measuring small amount of grocery item is spilled over or fall down from various containers, in which these items are kept)

kedian de chugan lai marra mota
ahar ban janda,

( Ants get something to collect and graze)

pansari dekhda par kuj na kenhda
ulta ram da sukar karda,

( Shopkeeper notice this but keep silence)

uh sochda kedian de muh nik suk lagda
tan hatti da karobaar sohna chalda,

(He believes when ants get something to feed, his own business remains in good condition)

tabar-taur v vadia palda
gahka da aao-jao laggi rehndi,

( His own family will remain in good conditions, buyers keep coming to shop)

rijak ch barkat painde
te kediannu mauj bani rehndi.....

(Wealth and property keep on increasing.....)
