Source Text:
“हो गई है पीर पर्वत-सी पिघलनी चाहिए, इस हिमालय से कोई गंगा निकलनी चाहिए।
आज यह दीवार, परदों की तरह हिलने लगी, शर्त लेकिन थी कि ये बुनियाद हिलनी चाहिए।
हर सड़क पर, हर गली में, हर नगर, हर गाँव में, हाथ लहराते हुए हर लाश चलनी चाहिए।
सिर्फ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं, सारी कोशिश है कि ये सूरत बदलनी चाहिए।
मेरे सीने में नहीं तो तेरे सीने में सही, हो कहीं भी आग, लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए।"[1]

Form[edit]
Ghazal - The ghazal is a traditional Arabic form of poetry that made its way into Hindi poetry and contained a minimum of five rhyming couplets, each ending with the same word (Radif). He deviates from the traditional form of the ghazal as the last couplet of this ghazal is not a maqtaa which is supposed to have the poet's takhallus (nom de plume). Kumar signed his works under his original name. Though it is typically used to express the pain of love, Dushyant Kumar improvised the traditional ghazal form to express political pain or as he termed it in his collection, Saaye Mein Dhoop, "गेम-दौरां" [3], or the pain of his times, thus turning the ghazal into a 'political ghazal.' Kumar was writing during the Emergency (1975-1977) and pleading for a new political dawn.
Analysis/Summary[edit]
Interpretation of Text[edit]
Couplet 1[edit]
Using the metaphor of a mountain, Kumar complains of the pain of his times that has accumulated beyond his ability to bear it. In expressing his pain, Kumar calls for a change, one that must come with the flow of a river.
Couplet 2[edit]
Kumar demands the barricades to at least be shaken this day, though it would have been ideal for them to crumble
Couplet 3[edit]
Kumar calls for a revolution that must take place in every street, lane, village and town with people raising their voices in protest.
Couplet 4[edit]
Kumar clarifies his intention which is not to cause chaos but rather to bring a revolution that would change the nature of the times he is living in.
Couplet 5[edit]
Kumar states that the fire for change must burn bright in every heart. If that is not the case, however, it must blaze wherever it can.
Reception[edit]
The popular film Irada (2017) used parts from the poem to comment on the state of affairs in Bhatinda, Punjab like corruption, pesticide pollution and groundwater contamination caused by Uranium.[2]
Political Response[edit]
Arvind Kejriwal also sang this ghazal during the India Against Corruption movement for the passing of the Lokpal Bill in 2011.[4]
About Saaye Mein Dhoop[edit]
In the blurb of the book, Kumar argues that if Ghalib can use the form of ghazal to express his personal pain, why can't Kumar himself use the same form to express the pain of his times which is both personal and social in nature. His aim is to get his voice through to all sections of the society including the working class. He equates his pain to that of Ghalib and calls history to bear witness to this fact. [6]
