The Copywriter's Ballad

[anirudh1986]

ye kaagaz pe khinchi lakeerein bas shabd nahi hai,
mere zehan ki har tasveer ki parchai hai ye...

ye vo jazbaat hain mere jinki koi kadr nahi,
mere doobte sapno ki gehrai hai ye...

ye wo jhoot nahi jisse bech aaj chulha jale,
bhuuke pet so bhi khush rahe vo sacchai hai ye...

lilk ke ghar nahi chalta pehle se jaanta tha main,
fir bhi khush ho k kavita banai hai ye...

k gar itna hi dard hai toh kyun likhte hain log,
shaayad baaki har ek dard ki dawai hai ye...

Shabdon ko simple sa sense dekar pesh karo agar,
Kai kamyaab copywriters ki kamai hai ye...

Cheers.

didnt get what you meant, smartsanjoo. is it that this poet needs to simplify his Hindi?

[anirudh1986]

Thank you guys. Your appreciation meant a lot to me.


@ saumya- I guess he just added a stanza to my poem.
and probably he's reflecting on the way copywriter's make money. Did I get it right Sanjoo?
