Kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai

Rahat Indori gets to the heart of what India's election results mean

A more serious writeup soon but for now, some poetry in the inimitable style of Rahat Indori. English translation of the extracted text at the end along with paraphrased meaning in parantheses

हमारे मुंह से जो निकले वही सदाक़त है
हमारे मुंह में तुम्हारी ज़ुबान थोड़ी है

जो आज साहिब-ए-मसनंद है , कल नही होगे

किरायेदार है ज़ाती मकान थोड़े है..

सभी का खून है शामिल यहा की मिट्टी मे

किसी के बाप का हिन्दुस्तान थोड़ी है..

English translation below (paraphrased meaning in parantheses)

Hamaare munh se jo nikle wahi sadaqat hai (the words from our mouth are the truth)
Hamare munh mein tumhaari zubaan thodi hai, (our mouth does not have your tongue)

Jo aaj sahib-e-masnad hai kal nahi honge, (those who are sitting on the throne today will not be there tomorrow)
Kiraaye daar hain zaati makaan thodi hai, (they are renters, not owners [of power]

Sabhi ka khoon hai shamil yahan ki mitti mein, (everyone’s blood is in this country’s soil)
Kisi ke baap ka HINDUSTAN thodi hai..." (India does not belong to anyone’s father)
