CRICKET HAMARI SHAAN HAI

Cricket hamara mazhab hai,
Cricket hamari jaan hai:
Aur khelon mein hum hon na awwal,
Per Cricket hamari shaan hai.

PM bhi match dekhne aate hein,
Kiyunki woh bhi to insaan hai.
Wah, Pratibha ji bhi aa pahunchi,
Unki kya aan baan hai.

Hamare mulk mein koi hi aisa hoga,
Jo Cricket se anjaan hai.
Bahuton ke liye to dekha jaaye,
Cricket hi saara jahaan hai.

Ek taraf to Sachin God hain,
Doosri ore Zaheer Khan hai;
Pinch hitting mein apne pas,
Koi aur nahin, Yousuf Pathan hai.

Jo kuchh desh mein, wohi Cricket team mein,
Hindu, Sikh aur musalmaan hai;
Sabse labon pe ek hi naara hai,
Saare jahan se achha Hindostan hai.

Kissi se poochho aap itne khush kyun ho,
Jawab: “Wankhede ke saamne meri dukaan hai”
Aamir Khan se poochho yahan kaise aaye?
Kaha: “Meri hi picture ka naam Lagaan hai”.

Woh dekho ik amriki bhi aaya match dekhne,
Itna shor sun ke woh kaafi hairaan hai.
Sirf Raja kahin nazar nahin aata,
2G ke scam mein woh behadd preshaan hai.

Final ke liye sab tayyari kar lo doston,
Thodi der mein aane wala ik toofan hai;
Kabhi bhoolna nahin khelte ya dekhte,
Sab deshon se ‘Hamara Bharat mahaan hai.

Kyunke, Cricket hamari shaan hai,
Cricket hamari pehchaan hai.
P.S. Winning the ODI World Cup is going to sort out all our problems of Poverty, Corruption, Cross-border Terrorism; poor Public Health, Education, Roads, Railways, other Infrastructure.

Author: Sunbyanyname

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

  1. A nice poem Sir.One thing most Indians can learn from the men in Blues – hardwork and consistency pays-so never say die! The same Indian team that a few years ago often used to be barbed as ‘snachers of defeat from the jaws of victory’ did the opposite in the final.Way to go India!
