Shelf pay theen Ram aur Krishn ki moortiyaan Deevaar pay Guru Nanak ki tasveer tangee thi
Maiz pay rakhi thi Buddha ki ek pratimaa
Bible kay saath vahaan Geeta bhi padi thi
Taazay phoolon ka guldaan bhi tha maiz par
Konay mein ik shelf kitaabon say bhari thi
Farsh pay bichhaa thaa ek reshmi kaaleen
Kamray ki har cheez kareenay say sajee thi
Mainay kahaa - Bhayi Sahib aap dhanya hain
Kitnaa sundar aap nay ye ghar banaayaa hai
Kitnay shauq kitni umangon say aap nay
Kitni mehnat say har ik konaa sajaayaa hai
Ek ek cheez hai taareef kay qaabil
Dil to chaahtaa hai dekhtay hee jaaiye
Lekin vaqt ka taqaaza bhi hai saamnay
Chaliye ab baaki ka ghar bhi dikhaaiye
Sun kay meri baat vo thoda sakpakaa gaye
Aesa lagaa jaisay hichkicha say rahay thay
Kitchen, dinning room to dikha diyaa magar
Bedroom dikhlaanay mein sharmaa say rahay thay
Jhijhaktay huye unhon nay darvaaza kholaa
Drishya vahaan ka dekh kay mein chaunk saa gayaa
Bollywood heroinon ki tasveeron say thaa
Kamraa vo saaray ka saara hee bharaa huaa
Saamnay tha ik bada saa aadam-qad frame
Jis mein thi ik naari ki uttejak si tasveer
Maiz par ik ardh-nagn yugal ki moorti
Aur kitaaben Laila-Majanu - Ranjha aur Heer
Ab samajh mein aayaa raaz hichkichaahat ka
Shaayad is liye hee vo katraa say rahay thay
Saraa ghar dikha diya tha shauq say magar
Bedroom dikhlaanay mein sharmaa say rahay thay
Vaapis aatay aatay main ye soch rahaa thaa
Living aur bedroom mein kitnaa farq hota hai
Kyon virodhaabhaas banaa rehtaa hai jeevan mein
Zaahir- Baatin mein kyon itnaa farq hotaa hai?
Saamnay to rakh letay hain photo Guruon kee
Dil mein hoti hain magar tasveeren koyi aur
Geeta aur Granth hain dikhaavay kay liye
Padhnay kay liye hain par kitaaben koyi aur
Chehraa- jo ham duniya ko dikhlaatay hain aqsar
Vo chehraa asli chehraa ban jaye to achchha hai
Gyaan - jo ham auron ko samjhaatay hain aqsar
Apanay man mein bhi vo bas jaaye to achchha hai
Keval photo rakh lenay say farq nahin padtaa
Keval sajdon say hee jeevan badal nahin saktaa
Zaahir aur Baatin - jab tak ek nahin hoga
'Rajan' man mein shanti ka pravesh nahin hoga
" Rajan Sachdeva "

English Translation
Two chambers of the heart
Idols of Ram and Krishna were on the shelf
Guru Nanak's picture hung on the wall
A statue of Buddha was placed on the table
Along with the Gita, there was a Bible as well.
There was a vase of fresh flowers on the table
A shelf in the corner was filled with the books
A silk carpet was spread on the floor
Everything in the room was decorated so neatly.
I said - Brother, what a blessed soul you are
What a beautiful house you have made
With so much fondness and passion, with so much enthusiasm -
With so much effort - every corner you have decorated so well.
Every single thing here has to be admired
My heart wants to keep on looking at them.
But the time has to be considered too - you know
So let's move - now show me the rest of the house too.
Hearing this, he seemed a little nervous
I could guess that there was some hesitance.
The kitchen and dining room were shown happily -
But for the bedroom, there was clearly some reluctance.
Hesitatingly, he opened the door,
I was a little shocked to see the scene therein.
The walls in the room were filled
with pictures of Bollywood heroines everywhere.
There was a big life-size frame in the front
in which there was a provocative picture of a woman
Statue of a half-naked couple on the table
along with the Books Laila Majnu - Ranjha and Heer
Now I understand the mystery of his hesitation
That was the reason why he was reluctant
The whole house was shown with great enthusiasm
but this is why he was shy to show the bedroom.
On the way back - I kept on thinking
Why such a difference between the living and the bedroom?
Why such contradiction persists in life?
Why the difference remains between the apparent appearance and the inner feelings?
The photos of the Gurus are kept in the front -
(on the walls, on the dashboard of cars, in the wallet, etc.)
But the pictures in the heart - are so different.
Gita and holy scriptures are kept for a show
But the books to be read - are so different.
The face that we show to the world
It would be good - if that becomes our true, genuine face.
Gyan - that we often preach to others
It would be better if it inhabits our minds too?
Just keeping a picture of the Guru doesn't matter much
Life cannot be changed by prostrations only.
Unless the outside and the inner worlds are one
One can not maintain everlasting peace of mind
"Rajan Sachdeva "
