Tum udo jahan tak udna hai... (A hindi poem)

Several years ago... or more like 12 years ago, I wrote a few lines which i still remember:

"If only i could fly,
touch the stars so high...
a dream that my eyes always see,
if only i were free to be me..."

And that thought grew into a poetry today:

"Tum udo jahan tak udna hai

Ye aakash bhi main hu
Ye pahad bhi main hu
Ye nadi bhi main hu 
Ye sansar bhi main hu

Tum udo pankhen faila ke...
Ye hawa jinpe tum ho sawaar, wo main hu
Tum jala do har andhere ko...
Tumhare aag ka aakaar bhi main hu...

Tum udo jahan tak udna hai...

Jhumo tum magan hoke...
Suro ki jhankaar bhi main hu...
Gaao is prakriti ke taraane ko...
Tumhare shabdo ka vichaar bhi main hu...

Tum udo jahan tak udna hai...

Tum failo har khusboo me...
Tum phool, tumhara daar bhi main hu...
Tum pyaar karo bharpoor...
Tumhare hone ka ahankaar bhi main hi...

Tum udo jahan tak udna hai...
Tum ho to main hu..."
