Where to speak - where not to speak (Kahaan par bolnaa hai)

Kahaan par bolnaa hai aur kahaan par bol jaatay hain 
Jahaan khaamosh rehnaa hai vahaan munh khol jaatay hain 

Katay jab sheesh sainik ka to ham khaamosh rehtay hain 
Katay ik scene picture kaa to saaray bol   jaatay hain 

Nayi naslon kay ye bachay zamaanay bhar kee suntay hain 
Magar maan baap kuchh bolen to bachay bol jaatay hain 

Bahut oonchi dukaanon mein kataatay jaib sab apni 
Magar mazdoor maangega to sikkay bol  jaatay hain 

Agar makhmal karay galtee to koyi kuchh nahin kehtaa
Phatee chaadar kee galtee ho to saaray bol  jaatay hain 

Havaaon kee tabaahi ko sabhi chup chaap sehtay hain 
Chiraagon say huyi galtee to saaray bol  jaatay hain 

Banaatay phirtay hain rishtay zamaanay bhar say aqsar ham 
Magar ghar mein zaroorat ho to rishtay bol  jaatay hain 

Kahaan par bolnaa hai aur kahaan par bol jaatay hain 
Jahaan khaamosh rehnaa hai vahaan munh khol jaatay hain  
                                                                 (Writer  - Unknown)

                              Translation

Where to speak - and where not to speak
Where there should be silence, the mouth is opened.

When the head of a soldier is cut, we remain silent
When a scene of a picture is cut, everyone starts shouting.

These children of new breeds listen to the whole world
But if the parents say something, they start shouting back.

We let our pockets lose in high standard fancy shops
But if a worker, maid, or servant asks, we start counting the coins. 

No one says anything if velvet (rich & influential - wearing expensive clothes) makes a mistake
If it is the fault of a torn sheet (poor) - everyone shouts and complains.

Everyone silently bears the destruction of the winds.
If the mistake is made by the lamps, everyone shouts and complains.

We often try to make relationships with everyone we meet. 
But if there is a need in the home, relationships are forgotten.

Where to speak and where not to speak
Where there should be silence, the mouth is opened       
                                ( Rajan Sachdeva )

  1. It takes less than two years after we are born to learn to speak.
    But sometimes a lifetime is too short to learn when not to speak.
