PHOTO AUTAR MOTA MARCH 2010.
( ALMOND BLOSSOMS )
“This kashmiri Pandit Boy with a Turban on his head shall carry forward my legacy ”
said Poet Mehjoor when he heard Young Dina Nath Naadim reciting his poem for the first time.
Naadim not only carried forward the legacy of Mehjoor but gave the language a modern outlook and steered kashmiri poetry on a path that was not treaded uptil then. A path of flowers , rivers , birds and colours of Kashmir . The core issues that he touched were rooted to the soil of Kashmir. Calling Mother Kashmir as JAGAT JANANI ( Creator of the universe ) , he also spoke about the sorrows of this land . Poverty , Clouds of war hovering , common man , gardens , shrines and above all the rich cultural heritage of this land . While he talked of a sunlit tomorrow , he also laid emphasis on the vital importance of the present . Present that is existing and surrounding . Present that is the reality and needs to be lived and thanked.
Az Dumm Chhu Ganeemat Aey Hamdumm
Kuss Vaenee Kuss Baenee Hamraaz Pagaah
Yuus Raath Qadam Tuul Suyee Chhaa Az
Paghukk Assi Naenee Andaaz Pagaah.
( Dina nath Naadim )
Love! Today’s existence be just thanked ,Who knows who shall befriend us
and be our companion tomorrow ?
See in this march we changed the style of our yesterday’s walk ,
Tomorrow’s style we shall come to know tomorrow only.
