POET DINA NATH NAADIM AND THE COMMON MAN

                                                                           


POET DINA NATH NAADIM AND THE COMMON MAN.

PHOTO AUTAR MOTA 2010.)
  In 1964, Naadim wrote a poem “.Radhee Vaalei Sunz Hakh ”. or “The call of the Raddi  Buyer ( Kabaadi )” . The poem may sound ordinary to a casual reader . To a serious reader this is a painful story of the helplessness of common man as well . The system  or the commodity market decides his fate now .This is the story of the man who is supposed to overlook how some  persons  turned   rich overnight .This painful commodity  market  is  driven by utility and expediency concept alone . If  any one amongst us  has no utility and is  not expedient , he  should be prepared  to be sold like the  old Newspapers …….

Zeiv rehunn kariv Guftaar Kaeniv
Radhee kaagaz Akhbaar Kaeniv
Heumm Kaetee ounn Athh Kathhie Sannie Beqal
Yaemm Kunn Chhonn Yiss Kuthh Vannie Beqal
Khonvuth Khodd  Kyaa Kyaa Khannie Beqal
Praethh Kaanh Kuthh Chhuvv Phir Phyaar Kaeniv
Radhee Kagaz akhbaar Kaeniv.
( Dina Nath Naadim )


Mortgage your tongue and sell your conversation,
Sell this waste ! Sell it like Old newspapers or used Paper.
“How that man gained this wealth !”
Whosoever thinks this  is a fool.. .
“This man sells short in his Trade ! “
Only a fool shall say so .
O Yes that man who works hard unnecessarily is also a fool ?
All these words are foolish and are beyond our understanding ,
So why not sell now.
Sell this waste !
Sell it like Old newspapers or  used Paper.
