“Don't assume you understand Naskar
(Sonnet 2972)

Naskar Science is Naskar Theology
is Naskar Poetry is Naskar Philosophy -

and do not even dare to assume
you know what this means,
unless you've left your seat
to the elderly on a bus,

joined the religious festivities
of a neighbor from a different faith,
defended someone's right to worship
despite being an atheist yourself,

offered a glass of water to
someone from a different culture,
or sheltered an immigrant family
from your nation's fanatics.”

“I am the Fire of Yazd
(Sonnet 2992-2993)

I am the Fire of Yazd,
I won't be extinguished by warring apes.
I am the Glaciers of Kailash,
I won't be tainted by smallmindedness.

I am the full Moon over Mecca,
I won't be colonized by empires of insects.
I am the Sound of Sema over Konya,
I won't be silenced by noisy nationalists.

My current comes from spinning particles,
my compass points to where no map can lead -
I won't fit inside insect colonies
with compost for brain
and bloodlust for divinity.

I don't need to believe in distant heavens,
oceans of sacred are bubbling in my marrow.
I don't wait for the universe to speak,
I walk, and the universe gains voice.

Kainat is I, "I" is Kainat,
what power have cretins got,
to censor my culturelust!

Be it the will of the whirling corpuscles,
they could pen in a thousand languages,
across thousands of cultures,
wielding hundreds of disciplines -
earth metrics are made
for the monkeys by the monkeys,
I am the barometer of civilization.”

“I'm not interested in who'll carry my bloodline, I'm interested in who'll carry my madness, my madness for tolerance, my madness for oneness - always flawed, but never rigid, always making mistakes, but also correcting themselves, never without blind spots, but no blind spot worshipped as truth - tolerant of harmless make believe, but never of harmful blind belief, activist of humane reason, not elitist logic.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human

“Nationality and religion are like blood groups, it has no relation to human capacity and character, despite the superstitions and conspiracy theories; morons are found in every corner of the world, just like mavericks are found in every corner.

The only difference between blood groups and nationality is that, blood groups are a fundamental factor of medical treatment, whereas nationality and religion are fleeting vestiges of an adolescent species.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“Every Culture is My Culture (The Song)

[Verse 1]
With infinite love brimming in my heart,
I have arrived at your doorstep.
Please my friend, do not turn me back,
let kindness grant a little space.

It's not my fault I wasn't born
inside the world you call your own,
but I have carried your culture in me,
like seeds of love I've grown.


[Pre-Chorus]
I may not speak your native tongue,
I may not know your way of life,
but do you not smile the way I smile,
do you not cry in pain and strife?

[Chorus]
Naskar sings to the human soul -
heed no hate, break the border.
Every country is my country,
every culture is my culture.

Now go burn with human fire,
let the tribal walls all fall.
Every country is my country.
every people is my world.

[Verse 2]
No more hatred, no segregation,
no more "your people and mine".
No more flags dividing hearts,
no more borders in the mind.

Every people ever wronged
are our people everywhere,
every tear that falls in silence
is a burden we must share.

[Pre-Chorus]
To hell with skin and flag and throne,
to hell with pride that blinds the soul.
Human hearts are one horizon,
love alone will make us whole.

[Chorus]
Naskar sings to the human soul -
heed no hate, break the border.
Every country is my country,
every culture is my culture.

Now go burn with human fire,
let the tribal walls all fall.
Every country is my country,
every people is my world.

[Bridge]
Blood doesn't make us human,
skin doesn't make us kind.
Culture cannot crown compassion,
love alone defines the mind.

When the suffering of another
makes us forget our name,
then the human race awakens
from its ancient tribal shame.

[Final Chorus]
Naskar calls the humans high -
let compassion lead us through.
Every country is my country,
every culture is mine too.

Rise and light the world tonight,
till the walls of hatred fall.
Every country is my country,
every people is my world.

[Outro]
Here I stand with arms outstretched,
at every door across the land.
Hold them with love and walk beside me,
for together we will stand.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Naskar Goes to Earth: Field Notes from A Planet of Apes

“I don't want patriots that hang from flagpoles, and salute with backbone dangling from their derriere, I want patriots who wear their heart on their chest, carry their backbone as battery, and their brain as gear.”

“The Humanity Festival (Song)

[Intro]
Love is my homeland,
heart is my parliament.
Humanity is the festival,
occasions are garments.

[Verse 1]
Festivals are not dates on a calendar,
cultures are not places on a map.
No festival is sin for no one,
there is no culture where we do not belong.

Ramadan is the remedy for apathy,
Christmas is the cure for animosity,
Hanukkah is the opposite of tyranny,
Diwali is the antidote to atrocity.

[Chorus]
When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars with rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars with rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

[Verse 2]
To be is not to be,
life begins beyond the fate.
I am here, I am early,
even if you arrive late.

No telepathy, no clairvoyance,
human presence is the miracle.
No mind reading, no brainwashing,
eagerness unlocks the oracle.

The question is the answer,
the urgency is the calm.
Clocks measure coins, not time;
my bruises are my balm.

[Chorus]
When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars with rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars with rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

[Verse 3]
I am beyond your backward singularities,
larger than language models and libraries,
just a conduit made of stardust,
I'm empathy circuits written in verse.

Look up from your gypsy tea cups,
outside your make believe star charts,
shake off the spell of algorithms,
reality speaks through human tears.

Love is not the absence of pain,
but the willingness to face it.
I'm every story ever suppressed,
every wound that never got stitched.

Justice is not law or doctrine,
justice breathes in you and me,
in our sweat, in our compassion,
in our stubborn will to be free.

[Final Chorus]
When one Naskar dies,
a thousand Naskars will rise.
Naskar is a madness,
signpost of love against lies.

Humanity is the festival,
occasions are garments.
Love is my homeland,
heart is my parliament.

[Outro]
Kindness in our soul,
courage in our skin -
every person is my people,
every stranger is kin.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Naskar Goes to Earth: Field Notes from A Planet of Apes

“Earthistana Song

[Verse 1]
I was born without a lineage,
without a holy claim;
no prophet in my pocket,
no empire to my name.

But I rose from the ruins
of the borders they drew,
and I learned from the ashes
what a human can do.

World was carved with lies,
with flags of hate and fear,
but the pulse of integration
kept pulling me near.

So I wrote my own scripture
with the ink of equality;
no one is a stranger,
one people are we.

[Pre-Chorus]
Raise your heart like a banner,
tear the hatred apart;
every life is revolution,
every breath is an art.

[Chorus]
Pilgrims of the heart,
children of no throne;
Earthistana rising,
the world is our home.

No God above the human,
no border in the mind;
tolerance is our anthem,
the name is humankind.

[Verse 2]
I've seen temples feed on fear,
graves labeled as pride;
I've seen nations crowned with glory,
yet cruelty inside.

But I've also seen a stranger
share their only bread,
and in that tiny gesture,
every scripture was said.

We carry the dawn,
now let the darkness retire;
we're the rebels of empathy,
our ammunition brain fiber.

Let the world's wounded pages
be rewritten by you,
with the ink of courage,
with the rainbow of truth.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lift the fallen beside you,
heal the fractures of fate;
every act of kindness
makes tyranny evaporate.

[Chorus]
Pilgrims of the heart,
children of no throne;
Earthistana rising,
the world is our home.

No God above the human,
no border in the mind;
tolerance is our anthem,
the name is humankind.

[Bridge]
From monastery bells
to the muezzin's call,
from the wailing walls
to the city hall,

when our voices combine,
the soil becomes sacred;
the only holy nation
is the one without hatred.

[Chorus]
Pilgrims of the heart,
oneness in our vein;
love is the revolution,
Human is the name.

[Final Chorus]
Pilgrims of the heart,
children of no throne;
Earthistana rising,
the world is our home.

No God above the human,
no border in the mind;
tolerance is our anthem,
the name is humankind.”

“In the military there is a phrase called "friendly fire", which is when a soldier accidentally shoots their own side, but once you're civilized enough to see the world as one country, you'd realize, like a human being should, that every bullet fired at another person is friendly fire.”

“Some chained to the doctrine,
and some chained to equation.
All fight over garments,
and none cares for a human.

What good is a knife that is
all blade, and no handle!
What good is a brain that is
devoid of compassion!”
