Karmayogin Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Karmayogin, your karma is your dharma,
Awake, awake, arise, arise,
Awake and arise you
To lauch the ship into the waters

As you have a long way to go,
Singing the song of karma,
As you have to move on and on,
Sailing the boat of life.

Troubles will come
But you will have to steer across
The boat of life,
Passing through the ups and downs of life.

March on, march on,
March on, march on,
O Karmaveer,
O Activist you!

In your karma, lies it
The dharma of yours,
The mission and vision of life,
The strong determination of yours.

You move on, move on
As to move your life
And to stop
Is to close the chapter.

The path is long
And the works you have to do
Many,
Tiresome and tedious.

The path is long
And you have to go, you have to go,
Singing the song of karma,
Singing the song of dharma.

The path is long, but the time is short
And you have to cover
A long distance,
Under rain and shower.

While moving on the path
Winding and uphill journey,
Stones may prick
But you have to, have to.

To go, to go the name of life
And to stop is
To be still and silent,
Dropping on the midway.

There are many who start the race
But drop down on the way
And cover not
The journey undertaken.

Karmayogin, keeping faith in you,
Undaunted and undeterred by,
You have to go, you have to go
As to go the name of life.

Joy and sorrow are the phases of life
Which you have to bear,
Going under the sun and shade
As they keep swapping.

Take not a rest
As the path is long, tedious and tiresone
And you have to go,
You go to.

Bare-footed and empty-handed,
As came you not with
Anything else here,
So expect not from.

Your help is the best help,
Seek not from others,
As mnone is there to help you
And God too helps those who help themselves.

Fear not, lauch the boat,
The stream will clear forth,
All the commotion of it,
Granted for good hope.

Sail on, sail on,
Awake and arise, awake and arise,
Take the rudder
And sail the boat into.

Karmayogin,
You just keep doing,
The things will come on their own,
In your karma lies it your dharma.

Life is not so easy
As take they,
Life si full of struggle and suffeing,
Life is sacrifice.

If one sacrifices not,
What will one get,
If sacrifices not
His comforts?

Life is full of hardships and vicissitudes,
Hazards and hassles,
Troubles and tribulations,
Fluctuating so often.

As there come into light and darkness,
So come they,
Joys and sorrows
One by one.

Life is no life if sorrows are not therein,
If the pains not,
The sweet tinge of it,
The sweet sorrow of it.

You stand up, repent not for
All that happened to you,
Get ready and lauch the boat
Into the waters.

There are many like you and me
To meet on the way,
You first be a traveller, a wayfarer,
There are many to meet as co-travellers.


Life is a pilgrimage undertaken,
A pilgrim’s progess
And keep you proceeding
On and on.

O boatman, take the boat
And launch into,
The river bank lies it far rom
And you have to go, go.

Just as a mariner, go you,
Just as a seafarer,
A navigator,
Navigating ther seaways.

This vast life is to learn,
To take and understand,
This vast life
To experience and feel.

The way may be zigzagged
And winding,
Stony or cragged,
But you have to, you have to.

Singing the songs of karma,
Which but your dharma,
Go you,
Move you all alone.

As the path of life
Never together with to be,
It is ever alone,
Ever solitary.

Do not bre nostalgic, homesick,
Let the memories of the home
Torent you not,
Let them not.

You are a karmayogi, you are a karmayogi
And your karma is your dharma,
You have a long way to go,
You have a long way.

Rest not
As to rest is to rust,
Go and stand up,
Cary on, carry on.

Time is short,
The path is lone and tiresome
And within this short span,
You have to do a lot.

Think you,
Re-think you,
How to chalk out the plan,
How to take the strategy of doing!

With all sincerity and honesty,
With your loving care and dutifulness,
Shirk not,
Sit not idly to pass time.

You are a karmayogin
As have taken you the challenges of life
And doing,
As have taken the job ofexecution on your shoulders.

Bearing the troubles and tribulations,
Hardships and challenges,
You keep doing,
Doing the things.

Bearing with perseverance,
Waiting for
And your forbearance will show it
How had you been in your stamina!

Go on bearing the pains now,
Good days will definitely dawn upon
As are never far off,
But hope you not for.

Always keep you doing and doing,
Going and going,
On the path of life,
On the journey itself.

O doer! O, activist!
Feel you never bewildered, at a loss to undertake,
In between the two horns of a dilemma,
To be or not to be!

You start the jurney
As the success is theirs,
Sit not idle,
Discard your lethargy and take the entourage.

I know it that there is the trouble of taking
The journey,
As the risk is there,
But what to do?

Without taking the risks and harzards,
The path is not a path,
The journey not a journey
And these will always be.

Karmayogin, this life of ours is but an uphill journey,
A launch into the sea of life,
Its troubles and turmoil,
The hazardous journey which lies it ahead.

What it is mine, what yours,
Everything but,
Instead of, we keep doing
As we have to live, live.

In this very expectation,
Lying in hope for,
We keep living and living,
Nurturing and nourishing our dreams.

Karmayogin, you walk on, walk on,
If nobody comes to attend to your call,
Walk on, walk on,
Just kkep walking you.

Singing the song of karma
And in your karma, lies it your dharma,
The dharma of your life,
Call it the religion of your life.

As dharma is the sum total of your karma,
Action, only action,
For which are you rssponsible solely,
The religion of man.

I mean your goodness, your virtue,
Your good actions,
The things to uphold them,
Your karma.

Launch the boat, lauch the boat,
O Karmayogin,
Sailing the boat,
Steering across!

O activist, do your duty alone,
Do your karma,
Treading the path of action,
Doing your work!

Be a karmayogi,
A doer, an activist,
Dispensing with,
Pending them not.

In your work lies it your happiness,
Your contentment,
Your utility and importance,
Your glory and praise.

O Karmayogin, waste not your time in booding,
Thinking over,
Waste not your golden time
Which will not come it again!

Launch the boat, launch into the waters
As destiny calls you
And you be the man of destiny
And hearing the call, you reach the destination.

O Karmayogin,
Launch the boat
As you have a long way to travel to,
You have to see many a country and a town!
