“Tenet Beyond Tongue (The Sonnet)

Kalbin olduğu her yerde kader var,
Aşkın olduğu her yerde umut var.
Mücadelenin olduğu her yerde mucize var,
İnsanlığın olduğu her yerde ilahiyat var.

Donde hay corazón, hay destino,
Esperanza es el niño del amor.
Donde hay lucha por la vida hay milagro,
Divinidad es el reflejo del humano.

No matter how many tongues we say it in,
The fact still remains all the same.
Where there is heart there is everything,
Without heart divinity, intellect all are lame.

Biz kimiz? İnsanız. ¿Quienes somos? Humanos.
Who are we? Humanity. Our purpose? Ayudar a los humanos.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Dar Mano, Ser Humano (The Sonnet)

Kafir Biraz, peygamber biraz!
İyi insan olmak için ikisi de lazım.
Kısmet to some, kıyamet to some!
That's how we come to life beyond all ism.

Diablo para algunos, santo para algunos.
It's all our mess, so las respuestas somos.
Fairytales work best when vegetables sleep.
Pero te digo hoy - dar mano, ser humanos.

Infidel to some, gospel to some!
That's the cross a reformer got to bear.
The Nazarene already did his bit for the world.
It's time for new humanitarians to give a shoulder.

We are the message, we are the messenger.
Kabhi hum kafir, kabhi peygamber.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Lend a mano, be humano.”

“Mental Por El Mundo (The Sonnet)

Mental por el mundo,
Mental por la gente!
Sin mentalidad de servicio,
No podemos seguir adelante.
Some are mental por dinero,
Some are loco por la ropa.
Let them be as they please,
Estoy loco por la humanidad.
A promise was once made,
He asked me to unify the world.
Ever since, I have been on duty,
My life isn't mine but of the world.
If I fail, you cross off one human.
If I succeed, you witness civilization.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

Life is a blessy messy thing.
Love is a happy crappy thing,
Mind is a mighty fighty thing.

Sin amor no hay mente,
Sin mente no hay vida.
Life is a record of love,
Time is a record of love -
To fathom this is to find felicidad.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 1

My science is you, my art is you,
La mañana de mi mente eres tú.
Mi casa tú, mi cielo tú,
La verdad de mi vida eres tú.

People are the truth of life,
Not some beliefs and biases.
People are the magic of my words,
People are the center of my poetries.

People are the beginning,
People are the end.
People are the meaning,
People are the mend.

We lift ourselves when we lift up the people.
When we're each other's rock, we are unstoppable.”
