हमे बड़ा बनाया जाता है।
इसलिए कभी गुरुर मत करना,
कभी भी गिराया जा सकता है।

Word For All (Verse 17) Woe betides this day Shame on the despot Love for the women Console for the widows Respect to the fathers Talk of the youth Lives of our farmers The abduction of little daughters Deprivation of workers A Veneration of nature My word for all. -M.T. Oyelowo ( 'Word For All' is inspired by Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poem titled 'Aaj Ke Naam (Dedication To This Day)' ) #wordForAll

Word For All

(Verse 17)

Woe betides this day
Shame on the despot
Love for the women
Console for the widows
Respect to the fathers
Talk of the youth
Lives of our farmers
The abduction of little daughters
Deprivation of workers
A Veneration of nature
My word for all.

-M.T. Oyelowo

Word For All (Verse 16) Then… A veneration of nature Woe to its neglect The craving to see once again; Those extinct species The enthralling ones Those beauties in flowers Whose eyes; Strive from season to season And then submit to decrees of the sun -M.T. Oyelowo #wordForAll

A veneration of nature
Woe to its neglect
The craving to see once again;
Those extinct species
The enthralling ones
Those beauties in flowers
Whose eyes;
Strive from season to season
And then submit to decrees of the sun

Word For All (Verse 15) Of the striking workers and of wages denied I write On whose hands, the lines of their future lay covered in blisters In pain they toil and pray After burning candles through everlasting nights As they struggled through studentship Hoping for a future that dawns like a shining gem -M.T.

Word For All (Verse 13) Then I write; Of little daughters carted away Victims of abduction or subjects of elopement Adorned on the beds of vile swains; posing as husbands Albeit underage, whose fathers come knocking on doors Men with tears in the eyes As they come seeking their poor little princesses -M.T.

Word For All (Verse 11) Men slayed like martyrs, in defense of their farmlands Brawling with cowherds on the move Wranglers with covetous hearts Seeking to make rivers flow through the farmlands; Hoping that of milk, these rivers flow -M.T. Oyelowo #wordForAll

Word For All (Verse 10) To say a little about the dwellers in the suburbs Settlements, where only narrow paths lead With trails looking like roads to hades Where on the flanks, peasants plough their farmlands And for the gold of the earth they wait Alas, their blood alone drains through the hard ground Dropping generously on the raw nuggets -M.T.

Word For All

(Verse 10)

To say a little about the dwellers in the suburbs
Settlements, where only narrow paths lead
With trails looking like roads to hades
Where on the flanks, peasants plough their farmlands
And for the gold of the earth they wait
Alas, their blood alone drains through the hard ground
Dropping generously on the raw nuggets
