Hum deewanon ki kya hasti

Hum deewanon ki kya hasti
Hain aaj yahan kal wahan chale,
Masti ka aalam saath chala
Hum dhool udaate jahaan chale ||
Aaye bankar ullhaas abhi,
Aansoon bankar beh chale abhi,
Sab kehte hi reh gaye, arey!
Tum kaise aaye, kahaan chale ||
Kis or chale? Mat yeh pooncho,
Chalna hai bas isliye chale,
Jag se uska kuch liye chale,
Jag ko apna kuch diye chale ||
Do baat kahii, do baat sunii,
Kuch hanse aur phir kuch roye,
Chhak kar sukh dukh ke ghoonton ko,
Hum ek bhav se piye chale ||
Hum bhikmangon ki duniya mein,
Swacchand lutaakar pyaar chale,
Hum ek nishaani ur pe,
Le asaphalta ka bhaar chale ||
Hum maan rahit, apmaan rahit,
Ji bharkar khulkar khel chuke,
Hum hanste hanste aaj yahan,
Praanon ki baazi haar chale ||
Ab apna aur paraaya kya,
Abaad rahe rukne waale,
Hum swayam bandhe the, aur swayam
Hum apne bandhan tod chale ||
Do not know who the poet is. Enlighten, if you do.

@varun Yes, I had always identified with the first verse and only remembered that. After a while, I even forgot the author or anything else about the poem. Only the first four lines remained in my memory. Internet is a powerful place – found the poem on a website and transliterated here.
@meera Thanks. Yeah, I remember Swati. Used to be my favorite book. Coming from a southern state, I did not have access to any Hindi books other than text books. But I really loved the language. So i used to read the poems in Swati over and over again.
@Govind Dhanyawad.

BIG thanks for taking effort and putting in all the poetry. I was searching for some of them for ages.
I know it is not easy, but if you can get the “Hindi in English” and “Urdu in English” stuff in Devnagari it will be a big help.
Best regards,
Pravin

We had this poem in 7th standard. I loved it then and I love it now. It is one poem that I identify with. Everything I wish to be, and everything I do seems to be spoken of here.It’s a wonderful philosophy. I love the rhythm of the poem too. Kudos to Bhagavati Sharan Varma!!!

I was going through my niece’s textbook last night and I found this beautiful poem by Bhagwaticharan Varma. I wrote it down on a sheet of a paper early this morning before coming out of the house. I read it on a train. I read it on a bus. And now am here at my workplace, writing on your blog, that I am proud to say, I know each line of the poem by heart.
But the sixth stanza of the poem was missing in the children’s book:
Hum maan rahit, apmaan rahit,
Ji bharkar khulkar khel chuke,
Hum hanste hanste aaj yahan,
Praanon ki baazi haar chale
I think I know the reason why they didn’t include that in the book. It’s so depressing. But it makes the poem really complete. I wanted to play with the words, but now I see there’s no need for it.
