मुंबई वाहतुक विभागाच्या पुलिस निरीक्षक सुजाता पाटिल यानि, आजाद मैदान मधे मुस्लिमानी केलेल्या दंगलीचा रोष आपल्या 'आजाद मैदान' ह्या कवितेतून व्यक्त केल्या आहेत। त्या आपल्याही भावना असाव्यात। त्यांच्या ह्या धाडसी कवितेला अणि देश भक्तिला सलाम!
Sujata Patil, a Traffic Police Inspector in Mumbai, puts her real and patriotic feelings in her poem , 'Azad Maida'. A solute to this brave lady for the brave act.
आजाद मैदान,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी,
लाठी हाथ में थी पिस्तौल कमर पे थी,
गाड़ियाँ फुकी थी, आंखें नशीली थी,
धक्का देते उनको तो ओभी जलाते थे,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!
हौसला बुलंद था, इज्ज़त लुट रही थी,
गिराते एक एक को तो, क्या ज़रूरत थी इशारों की,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!
हिम्मत की गद्दारों ने, अमर ज्योति को हाथ लगाने की,
काट देते हात उनके तो फिर्याद किसी की भी न होती,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!
भूल गए वोह रमजान, भूल गयो वोह इंसानियत,
घाट उतर देते एक एक को तो,
अरे, क्या जरुरत थी किसी को डरने की,
संगीन लाठी तो आपके ही हाथ में थी,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!
हमला तो हमपे था, जनता देख रही थी,
खेलते गोलियों की होली तो,
जरुरत न पड़ती, नवरात्रि में रावन जलाने की,
रमजान के साथ साथ दीवाली भी होती,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!
साप को दूध पिलाकर,
बात करते हैं हम भाईचारेकी,
ख्वाब अमर जवानों के,
और जनता भी डरी-डरी सी,
हम न समजे थे बात इतनी सी!

Azad Maidan
We did not even understand a small thing,
We had stick in hand, pistol tied on the waste,
Vehicles were torched, eyes were all drunk,
Even if we had pushed a little, they too would have fallen into fire,
We did not even understand a small thing,
We were high on courage, they were looting our esteem,
Had we send each one down, what was the need for gestures,
We did not even understand a small thing,
The traitors dared touch the 'Amar Jyoti' memorial,
Had we cut those limbs, there were not complaints from anybody,
We did not even understand a small thing,
They forgot 'Ramdan', They forgot Mankind,
Had we pushed them into death of valley,
Oh, what was the need to be scared of anybody
The bayonet stick was only in your hands,
We did not even understand a small thing,
The attack was on us, people were watching,
Had we played the 'Holi' with bollets,
There was no need to burn 'Ravans' on 'Navarattri'
Along with 'Ramdan', there would have been 'Deewali',
We did not even understand a small thing,
We feed the serpent with milk and then talk about brotherhood,
The dreams of immortal soldiers, and the public is also bit scared,
We did not even understand a small thing,
Sujata Patil,
Police Inspector,
Matunga Traffic Section,
MUmbai.
