ਮੱਕੇ ਗਿਆ ਗੱਲ ਮੁਕਦੀ ਨਈ
ਭਾਵੇਂ ਸੋ-ਸੋ ਜੁਮੇ ਪੜ ਆਈਏ,

ਗੰਗਾ ਗਿਆ ਗੱਲ ਮੁਕਦੀ ਨਈ
ਭਾਵੇਂ ਸੋ-ਸੋ ਗੋਤੇ ਖਾਈਏ,

ਘਰ ਆ ਗਿਆ ਗੱਲ ਮੁਕਦੀ ਨਈ
ਭਾਵੇਂ ਸੋ-ਸੋ ਪੰਡ ਪੜਾਈਏ,

" ਬੁਲੇ ਸ਼ਾਹ " ਗੱਲ ਤਾਹੀਓ ਮੁਕਦੀ
ਜਦੋਂ " ਮੈਂ " ਨੂੰ ਦਿਲੋ ਮੁਕਾਈਏ………..!!!

ਕਪਟੀ
Kaka Gill

ਦੇਖਦੇ ਸਾਰ ਧਾਅਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਵੱਲ ਆਈ
ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਕੋਈ ਭਾਣਾ ਹੋਇਆ।

ਬੇਵਫ਼ਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਗਲ ਨਾਲ ਲੱਗਕੇ ਰੋਂਦੀ
ਗ਼ਮ ਭੁਲਾਕੇ ਮੈਂ ਹੱਕਾ ਬੱਕਾ ਹੋਇਆ।

ਅਮਰ ਵੇਲ ਬਣਕੇ ਉਹ ਲਿਪਟ ਪਈ
ਸ਼ਿਕਰੇ ਵਾਂਗ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ ਤੇ ਝਪਟ ਗਈ
ਝਰਨਾ ਫ਼ੁੱਟਿਆ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਪਛਤਾਵੇ ਦਾ
ਪਸ਼ੇਮਾਨ ਹਾਂ ਦੇਖਕੇ ਉਹਦੇ ਕਪਟ ਕਈ।

ਹੌਕੇ ਭਰਕੇ ਉਹਦਾ ਗਲ਼ਾ ਰੁਕਿਆ
ਅਥਰੂਆਂ ਦੀ ਝੜੀ ਗਿਰਾਕੇ ਅੱਖੀਂ ਨੀਰ ਸੁੱਕਿਆ
ਦੂਰ ਤੱਕ ਗੂੰਜਦੀ ਅਵਾਜ ਹਿਚਕੀਆਂ ਦੀ
ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਸ਼ੱਕ ਜਰਾ ਗਿਆ ਨਾ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ।

ਬਿਰਹੋਂ ਦੀ ਵਣਜ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੋਂ ਉਸ ਵਿਹਾਈ
ਲਹੂ ਨਾਲ ਉਸਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਰੇਹ ਬੁਝਾਈ
ਕੰਡੇ ਬਣੇ ਉਹ ਨਰਮ ਹੱਥ ਗੋਰੇ
ਪਹਿਲੀ ਮੁਹੱਬਤ ਭੰਗ ਦੇ ਭਾੜੇ ਗੁਆਈ।

ਐਸੀ ਨਾਗਣ ਨੂੰ ਦੁੱਧ ਪਿਲਾਉਣਾ
ਐਸੀ ਬਘਿਆੜੀ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਸ ਖਿਲਾਉਣਾ
ਹੈ ਕਿੱਧਰ ਦੀ ਯਾਰੋ ਅਕਲਮੰਦੀ
ਐਸੀ ਸਰਾਪੀ ਰੂਹ ਦੇ ਸੰਗ ਜਿਆਉਣਾ।

ਅੱਖਾਂ ਸੁੰਗੜ ਗਈਆਂ ਸ਼ੱਕ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ
ਸੋਚਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਉਹ ਚੱਲਦੀ ਨਵੀਂ ਚਾਲ
ਪਰ ਹੰਝੂਆਂ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੈਂ ਵਹਿਆ
ਭੁਲਾਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਗ਼ਮ, ਪੁੱਛਦਾਂ ਉਸਦਾ ਹਾਲ।

ਤਾਣਿਆਂ ਉਸ ਦੁਆਲੇ ਲੋਹੇ ਵਰਗਾ ਕਲਾਵਾ
ਦੇਕੇ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਮਾਫ਼ੀ ਪਾੜ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਬੇਦਾਵਾ
ਕੰਡਿਆਲੇ ਹੱਥ ਅਤੇ ਉੱਠਦੇ ਸ਼ੱਕ ਭੁਲਾਕੇ
ਗੀਤ ਸੁਣਾਵਾਂ ਉਹਨੂੰ ਦਿਲ ਲੁਭਾਵਾ।

ਨਾ ਸੋਚਿਆ ਇਹ ਕਿੰਨੀਆਂ ਰਾਤਾਂ ਚੱਲੇਗਾ
ਸੁਫ਼ਨਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਪੜਾਅ ਤੇ ਜਾ ਟੁੱਟੇਗਾ
ਹੰਝੂ ਪੂੰਝਕੇ ਕਹਿਕਹੇ ਲਗਾਏਗੀ
ਤੇ ਦਿਲ ਜਲਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਫਿਰ ਦਿਲ ਜਲੇਗਾ।

Famous Picture: Trains carrying prisoners stop only after crushing 11 Campaigners.


Story:

On the 8th August, 1922 A.D., the police arrested five Singhs for cutting Acacia wood for langar (community kitchen) from uncultivated land attached to Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh. Everyone was sentenced to a fine of rupees fifty and mprlsonment for six months on charge of stealing wood from the land of the Vlahant. Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee started an agitation against this excess of the Government. Mr. B.T., the additional police superintendent started beating with clubs the Singhs taking part in the agitation. On the 13th September, the beating was stopped on motivation from Reverend C.F. Andrews and Singhs were arrested and sent to prisons.

One day a squad of army pensioners led by Subedar Amar Singh Dhaliwal from Kapurthala state courted arrest. Magistrate Aslam Khan sentenced those Singhs to imprisonment of two and a half years and a fine of one hundred rupees each. Those Singhs were boarded on a train from Amritsar to Attak on the night of the 29th October, 1922 A.D. The train stopped at Rawalpindi on the 30th October and moved on after change of staff and taking water for the locomotive. The Sikh community of Gurdwara Panja Sahib on that route got ready food and drink to serve the Singhs of the squad, took it to the railway station early in the morning of the 31st October and started waiting for the train to arrive.

The station master told them, "The train shall not stop at this station. You have made these arrangements for nothing." Bhai Karam Singh replied, "Baba Nanak had stopped a mountain with one hand. Cannot his Sikhs stop a train ?" At ten o'clock, seeing the train approaching, Bhai Karam Singh lay on the railway line. Next to him Bhai Partap Singh, Sardar Ganga Singh, Sardar Charan Singh, Sardar Nihal Singh, S. Tara Singh, S. Fakir Singh, S. Kalyan Singh and many other Singhs and Kaurs (female of Singh) squatted on the track. Seeing the Singhs lying on the track, the driver of the train blew the whistle time and again but the Singhs did not budge as if they had not heard the whistle at all. The engine ground the bones of Bhai Karam Singh and Bhai Partap Singh to pulp and the others suffered injuries. The train stopped. Bhai Karam Singh said to Sangat (Sikh devotees), "Serve the hungry Singhs in the train first. You can take care of us afterwards." The train halted for one and a half hours. The Sikhs served the Singhs in the train whole-heartedly and then turned to the injured. Bhai Karam Singh, thirty year old son of Bhai Bhagwan Dass Mahant of Kesgarh Sahib died after a few hours. On the next day Bhai Partap Singh, twenty-four years of age, son of S. Sarup Singh goldsmith of Akal Garh, Gujranwala attained martyrdom.
when the train-driver was asked the reason for stopping the train, he replied, 'When the train hit the Singhs lying on the track, vacuum lever dropped out of my hand and the train stopped. I did not apply the brakes."

Close to the sacred shrine of Panja Sahib on the morning of 30 October 1922 and which has since passed into folklore as an instance of Sikh courage and resolution. A non-violent morcha or agitation to assert the right to felling trees for Guru ka Langar from the land attached to Gurdwara Guru ka Bagh in Amritsar district, already taken over from the priests by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee after a negotiated settlement, had started on 8 August 1922. At first Sikh volunteers were arrested and tried for trespass, but from 25 August police resorted to beating day after day the batches of Sikhs that came. This went on till 13 September when, on the intervention of the Punjab Governor, the beating stopped and the procedure of arrests resumed.The prisoners were tried summarily at Amritsar and then despatched by special trains to distant jails.

One such train left Amritsar on 29 October 1922 for the Attock Fort which would touch Hasan Abdal the following morning. The Sikhs of Panja Sahib decided to serve a meal to the detenues but, when they reached the railway station with the food, they were informed by the station master that the train was not scheduled to halt there. Their entreaties and their plea that such trains had been stopped at other places for the prisoners to be fed went unheeded.

Two of the Sikhs, Bhai Pratap Singh and Bhai Karam Singh who were leading the sangat went forward as the rumbling sound of the approaching train was heard and sat crosslegged in the middle of the track. Several others, men and women, followed suit. The train-driver slowed down suddenly and brought the train to a screeching halt, but not before it had run over eleven of the squatters. The worst mauled were Bhai Pratap Singh and Bhai Karam Singh, who succumbed to their injuries the following day. Their dead bodies were taken to Rawalpindi where they were cremated on 1 November 1922. They were hailed as martyrs and, until the partition of 1947, a three-day religious fair used to be held in their memory at Panja Sahib from 30 October to 1 November every year.

ਦਿਲ ਦਾ ਬੀਮਾਰ ਆਸ਼ਿਕ ਮੇਰੇ ਯਾਰਾਨੇ ਛੁੱਟ ਗਏ।
ਮੈਂ ਇੱਕ ਵੀਰਾਨ ਝਰਨਾ ਜੀਹਦੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਸੁੱਕ ਗਏ।

ਪਹਾੜਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਚੋਟੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਬਰਫ ਖੁਰ ਗਈ ਜਦੋਂ
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਹਿਬੂਬ ਦੇ ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹੋਂ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ-ਤਰਾਨੇ ਰੁਕ ਗਏ।

ਇਸ ਛਾਤੀ ਦੇ ਉੱਪਰ ਚੀਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਟਾਹਣੇ ਡਿੱਗੇ
ਯਾਰ ਮੁੱਖ ਛਿਪਾਕੇ ਕਤਲ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਝੁਕ ਗਏ।

ਭਾਰੇ ਪੱਥਰ ਕੰਢੇ ਤੋਂ ਢਲਕੇ ਰਾਹ ਰੋਕ ਖ਼ੜੇ
ਬੇਵਫਾ ਯਾਰਾਂ ਘਾਇਲ ਛੱਡਿਆ ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਵਾਰ ਉੱਕ ਗਏ।

ਕੁਝ ਪਿਆਲੇ ਦੇ ਯਾਰ ਮੇਰਾ ਲਹੂ ਪੀਣ ਵਾਲੇ
ਨਫ਼ਰਤ ਨਾਲ ਨੱਕ ਚੜ੍ਹਾਕੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਥੁੱਕ ਗਏ।

ਤਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਤੜਫ ਤੜਫ ਮਰਦੀਆਂ
ਪੱਕੇ ਜਖਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖਕੇ ਵੈਦ ਘਰੇ ਲੁਕ ਗਏ।

ਮਸਾਣਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਮੁੱਕੀ ਲੱਕੜਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਸਿੱਲੀਆਂ
ਭਰਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਸਭ ਹਾਜਰ ਸੁਕਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਮੁੱਕ ਗਏ।

The ‘Flying Sikh’ on India’s lamentable track-and-field prowess

Never mind owning the podium, India will be happy to break its track-and-field medal drought this year.

The first – and last – Indian to win an athletics competition at any Commonwealth Games is the legendary “Flying Sikh,” Milkha Singh, who took gold at Cardiff in 1958. India has fared better away from the track, and hopes for gold in other sports, such as shooting, wrestling, and badminton. But that does not satisfy Mr. Singh, who at 81 years old still serves as a fixture in the country’s sports establishment.

He remembers the gruelling practice that went into his victory in the sprint, which was then 440 metres, and the joyful reaction from his country. He wept on the podium. When his government offered him a reward, the penniless orphan requested a one-day national holiday. Now, he wonders why the next generation of athletes does not work so hard, or show the same selflessness – and he’s especially galled by the corruption and fancy trappings on display, such as the notorious $16-million helium balloon used for the opening ceremonies.

You worked very hard for the medal. What motivated you?

I had so much fire in my heart to learn and do well for my country. ... I started training myself, used to run six hours every day, and then would test myself every 10 days to see if I have been able to better the record. If not, I would work harder. During those days I would faint and even vomit blood but that didn’t deter me or stop me from running. I used to sweat a bucket every day.

Do you feel that athletes today have the same willpower?

No, they don’t, even today whenever I am invited during the [training] camps I tell all that they can get what they want and bring the medal home if they have strong willpower and the passion to do hard work. The reasons for them not to do it are because they have not seen the hard times we had. We used to sleep on the floors and drink hot [unrefrigerated] water from the taps, which the athlete of today can’t even think of doing. They have no respect for the coach, they don’t want to practice, keep giving excuses. Unlike for us, the coach’s word was the last word. Now they only want facilities and money.

Lately the focus has been on making opening and closing ceremony a spectacular show that everyone will remember. Do you think this is a departure from tradition?

I am against so much money being spent on the closing and opening ceremonies. What I would have preferred though that the same money should have used for the training of the athletes, and not wasted like this.

You won gold at the Commonwealth Games in 1958 at the time when India was still recovering from the wounds of partition. Do you think that your winning the medal healed some of those wounds, or brought the country together?

The scene that I witnessed, seeing my parents killed in front of my eyes, and running away ... coming to Delhi as a refugee, alone, and living at the [train] station, my first thought was to get a job and get food for myself and not how to do my country proud. Anyone, you or me, would first think of your stomach and then your country.

We have all been reading about the allegations of corruption facing the Games. What’s your opinion about this?

Every Indian, including myself, is very saddened by what all has been happening. We are sorry that all these problems are coming. We should have started the work eight years ago and finished everything at least two or three years in advance to avoid all the problems we are facing.
