स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर...

हे हिंदुशक्ति-संभूत-दीप्तितम-तेजा
हे हिंदुतपस्या-पूत ईश्वरी ओजा
हे हिंदुश्री-सौभाग्य-भूतीच्या साजा
हे हिंदु-नृसिंहा प्रभो शिवाजीराजा

करि हिंदुराष्ट्र हें तूतें, वंदना
करि अंतःकरणज तुज, अभि-नंदना
तव चरणिं भक्तिच्या चर्ची, चंदना
गूढाशा पुरवीं त्या न कथूं शकतों ज्या
हे हिंदु-नृसिंहा प्रभो शिवाजीराजा

जी शुद्धि हृदाची रामदास शिर डुलवी
जी बुद्धि पांच शाह्यांस शत्रुच्या झुलवी
जी युक्ति कूटनीतींत खलांसी बुडवी
जी शक्ति बलोन्मत्तास पदतलीं तुडवी
ती शुद्ध हेतुची कर्मी, राहुं दे
ती बुद्धि भाबडया जीवां, लाहुं दे
ती शक्ति शोणितामाजीं, वाहुं दे
दे मंत्र पुन्हा तो, दिले समर्थे तुज ज्या
हे हिंदु-नृसिंहा प्रभो शिवाजीराजा

वपूर्झा...

एकदा केव्हातरी शांतपणे बसावं आणि वयानुसार आपण काय काय गोष्टी सोडल्या ह्याचा आढावा मग लक्षात येतं, की आपण गाभुळलेली चिंच बरयाच वर्षात खाल्ली नाही, जत्रेत मिळणारी पत्र्याची शिट्टी वाजवलेली नाही. चटक्याच्या बिया घासुन चटके द्यावेत असं आता वाटत नाही, कारण परीस्थितीचे चटके सोसतानाच पुरेवाट झालेली असते. कॅलिडोस्कोप बघितलेला नाही. सर्कशितला जोकर आता आपलं मन रिझवु शकत नाही. तसंच कापसाची म्हातारी पण पकडण्याचा चार्मही आता राहीलेला नाही. कापसाच्या त्या म्हातारीने उडता उडता आपला “बाळपणीचा काळ सुखाचा ” स्वत: बरोबर कधी नेला ते कळलंच नाही. त्या ऊडणारया म्हातारीने सर्व आनंद नेले. त्याच्या बदल्यात तिच वार्धक्य तिने आपल्याला दिलं. म्हणुन ती अजुनही ऊडु शकते. आपण जमिनीवरच आहोत.
