In the midst of Coronavirus outbreak worldwide, Ayushmann Khurrana took to social media to share a heartfelt poem that made many emotional.
Capturing the irony of how coronavirus lockdown is affecting rich & poor in our country, Khurrana’s poem is a reminder for us to be less selfish and self-centered during these tough times.
In order to stop the spread of the highly contagious COVID-19 virus, many parts of our country are on lockdown as a precautionary measure. During this lockdown, daily wage workers & low-income families are facing the brunt of the situation.
To capture the impact of lockdown on low-income groups of the country, the Actor Ayushmann Khurrana on Wednesday shared a self-written emotional poem that touched the hearts of many.
His prose threw light on how the shutdown is affecting rich and poor differently. He tweeted:
“Ab ameer ka har din ravivaar ho gaya,
Aur gareeb hai apne somvaar ke intezaar mein.
Ab ameer ka har din seh parivaar ho gaya hai,
Aur gareeb hai apne rozgaar ke intezaar mein.“
Translation
Now a rich person’s every day is a Sunday,
and a poor is waiting for his Monday.
Now a rich is spending time with their family,
and a poor is waiting for his employment.
Ab ameer ka har din ravivaar ho gaya,
Aur gareeb hai apne somvaar ke intezaar mein.
Ab ameer ka har din seh parivaar ho gaya hai,
Aur gareeb hai apne rozgaar ke intezaar mein.-Ayushmann pic.twitter.com/vMONdqzqCG

Some others turned poetic too to express themselves and their thoughts about Coronavirus.
न वो अमीरी देखता है न गरीबी देखता है…
न हिन्दू देखता है न मुसलमान देखता है
न रोजगार देखता है न बेरोजगार देखता है
न रविवार देखता है न सोमवार देखता है,
न समय देखता है न मुहूरत देखता है,वो वायरस है जनाब सबको बराबर तौलता है!

ये गंदगी तो महल वालों ने फैलाई है साहब,
वरना गरीब तो सड़कों से थैलीयाँ तक उठा लेते हैं।— shikha singh (@sayarideewani) March 18, 2020
अजीब मिठास है गरीब के खून मे भी…
जिसे भी मौका मिलता है पीता जरूर है…!!!!
