“Naskar Goes to Earth (2745-2746)

I was born of flesh,
and given the name Naskar,
I outgrew the rule of flesh,
but kept the name as token.

Flesh and name are both just shell,
both have a role, but none is sovereign.
Submit to flesh, and monkeys run amok,
worship the name, and stagnation sets in.

I was born of ash,
I lived as electricity,
I'll end in ash, and someone
somewhere will carry my insanity.

I don't want you to inherit my belief,
I don't even want you to inherit my ideas,
if there is one thing I want you to inherit,
it's my insatiable responsibility to the world.

If you're sufficiently dutybound to humanity,
like a living, breathing human being should be,
you'd inadvertently develop the same ideas,
even if you haven't read a single leaf of me.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)

It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;
what took to paper as a penniless dream,
ignited the planet with culture of integration.

Journey of civilization begins with
one person rejecting an outdated tradition,
evolution of apes to human begins with
one person disposing of their flag in a museum.

Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction,
divinity of the present must be rooted in life;
science of the robots revolves around metal,
science of the humans must center around mind.

Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda,
I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

My sonnets, my rules -
my science, my rules -
my theology, my rules -
my universe, my rules;

my dream, my right -

my life, my ethics -
my body, my choice;

my divinity, my design -

my society, my justice -
my planet, my duty.”

“The Naskar Anthem
(Sonnet 2554-2555)

Heir to no throne,
no crown on my head,
tearing up borderly lies,
I burn as the lamp of aid.

I hold no flag,
yet I raise nations,
I stand as rebel guard,
humanizing inoculation.

Rocking the world with sacred wonder,
priming the souls with curing thunder,
every sonnet is call against slumber,
every line, a revolt against plunder.

From the alleys of grief
to the towers of pride,
I am wounded, I walk with
the wounded by my side.

Not born to erase faith,
but to rewrite it tolerant;
suffering is the doorway,
to the becoming of a saint.

A pair of helping hands is holier
than a million praying lips;
I got no need for scripture,
for I carry a heart that beats.

I have no law, but life -
I have no edict, but empathy.
I have no creed, but conscience -
I am the vow of mad inclusivity.

Roads ignited with the voice of oneness,
cannot be extinguished by clouds of hate.
When the final regime has fallen to pieces,
the drop of dew will still be incandescent.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“When the Human speaks, mountains wake,
tired hearts of earth unbreak -
turn the world from ash to flame,
help the broken speak their name.”

“The Earthistana Anthem
(Sonnet 2570-2574)

I was born without 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.

The 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.

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

Pilgrims of the heart,
children of no throne -
the world is our home,
the duty is my own.

No God above the human,
no border in the mind -
tolerance is our anthem,
we are the humankind.

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 are the dawn that we seek,
let the dread of dark retire -
we are the rebels of empathy,
our ammunition nerve fiber.

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

Let us lift the fallen,
heal the fractures of fate -
every act of kindness,
makes tyranny evaporate.

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.

Pilgrim of the heart,
oneness in our vein -
love is the revolution,
Human is the name.

Shortcircuit the convention,
surpass all claim to fame -
let us enhance, not reduce each other,
so the world becomes humane.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
