Question

I want poems of maharaja Ranjit Singh

Answer 1

Answer:

• “ Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

* * *

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? ”

Answer 2

Like this poem...........

The Eagle Eye of Ranjit Singh

 

 

The great Sikh Emperor, Ranjit Singh (1781-1839), suffered a small-pox injury and lost vision of one eye. He once

quipped: "The good Lord gave me sight in only one eye so that I can see

and treat all of my subjects - Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh, rich

or poor - as equals!" 

The following poem meaningfully describes this very thought.

What can you see with one eye?

Justice, military strength, pomp

and pageantry

Empirical designs encroaching on

fragile treaties

Glory, humility, defeat

Betrayal wrenched out of the depths

of kinship

Blood sacrifice sufficient to smother

the will to live

Many lives

Many brilliant, radiant, devoted

wives, and many spirited children

*

With one eye you can fill a court

with diplomacy

You can demand order

You can keep in kingly comfort a

peer and entourage,

How best not to distract them from

the task at hand

To have their many needs and wants

fulfilled promptly

Never ration the desire to negotiate!

*

With one eye you can guarantee peace

Entrench justice, defend the weak

Muster history

Design and master weaponry

Entice artifacts that will survive

you

Monitor the movements and accomplishments

of troops

Deliberate with generals

Execute strategy, reward loyalty

And, with one eye, take full responsibility

For the safety of the realm

The security of faith

The survival of a nation.
