Dard Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

Waqt guzrega hum bikhar jaayenge,
kaun jaane ki hum kidhar jaayenge,
hum to ek parchaai hain,
yaad rakhna dost jahaan tanhaai mili
wahaa hum nazar aayenge..

Ek dil mere dil ko zakhm de gayaa,
zindagi bhar jeene ki kasam de gayaa,
laakhon mein ek chuna humne jise..
woh kaanto se bhari chubhan de gayaa.

Log har manzil ko mushkil samajhte hain,
hum har mushkil ko manzil samajhte hain.
Bada fark hai log aur humaare nazarie mein,
log dil ko dard aur hum dard ko dil samajhte hain..

Mene to bhula hi diya tha use
kambakht dil ne fir yad kar liya
socha to tha naam bhi nahi loonga uska
par jab khuda ne poocha kya chaahiye tujhe
to honto ne bhi bade pyaar se uska naam le liya..

Har roz hum nashe mein hote hain
aur shaam guzar jaati hai,
ek din aisa bhi aayega
jab shaam nashe mein hogi aur
hum guzar jaayenge..

Bahut ajeeb hain yeh bandishen muhabbat ki,
Naa to us ne qaid mein rakha, aur na hum farar hue.
