Anand Gandhi shares a poem for him 'Tab meri aatma sunhari dhoop ban barsegi'
Anand Gandhi recently took to Instagram to address questions put forward by fans. He dedicated a poem for Sushant Singh Rajput on a fan's request
Sushant Singh Rajput and filmmaker Anand Gandhi were the best of friends. The two often had discussions about their upcoming projects. Gandhi was quite devasted when he lost his friend Sushant. Anand Gandhi recently took to Instagram to address questions put forward by his fans. When a fan asked the filmmaker to share something about Sushant Singh Rajput in Hindi, Anand Gandhi decided to dedicate a poem written by the late Hindi writer and columnist, Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena.
The title of the poem is Fasal, and it speaks about how the good deeds of man are reaped by the world even after he leaves for his heavenly abode. Filmmaker Anand Gandhi seems to like this poem a lot due to which he recited the entire poem in his Instagram story.
Here are some of the lines from the poem:
“Hal ki tarah
Kudaal ki tarah
Yaa khurpee ki tarah
Pakad bhi lu kalam toh
Phir bhi fasal kaatne nahi milegi hum ko
Hum toh zameen hi tayaar kar payenge
Krantibeej bone kuch birle hi ayenge
Hara- bhaara wahi karenge mere shram ko
Silsila milega aage mere kram ko
Kal jo bhi fasal ugegi, lehlehaigi
Mere na rehne par bhi
Hawa se ithlaigi
Tab meri aatma sunhari dhoop ban barsegi
Jinhone beej boe the
Unhi ke charan parsegi
Kaatenge usse jo phir woh hi usse boenge
Hum toh kahi dharti ke niche dabbe soenge”
Anand Gandhi seems to have dedicated this poem to Sushant mainly due to the last stanza of the poem. This stanza states that the good deeds of man are reaped by the world even after he departs for his heavenly abode. Here’s what the last stanza of the poem means:
Tomorrow, when I’m no longer there,
the crop will grow and flourish,
ripple in the breeze.
My spirit, a flush of golden sunshine
Will touch the feet
of those who planted the seeds
Those who harvest it will sow more seeds
I shall only sleep buried in the earth underneath.
