Hum Panchhi Unmukt Gagan Ke

हम पंछी उन्मुक्त गगन के
- ShivMangal Singh Suman (शिवमंगल सिंह सुमन)

हम पंछी उन्मुक्त गगन के
पिंजरबद्ध न गा पाऍंगे
कनक-तीलियों से टकराकर
पुलकित पंख टूट जाऍंगे ।

हम बहता जल पीनेवाले
मर जाऍंगे भूखे-प्यासे
कहीं भली है कटुक निबोरी
कनक-कटोरी की मैदा से ।

स्वर्ण-श्रृंखला के बंधन में
अपनी गति, उड़ान सब भूले
बस सपनों में देख रहे हैं
तरू की फुनगी पर के झूले ।

ऐसे थे अरमान कि उड़ते
नील गगन की सीमा पाने
लाल किरण-सी चोंच खोल
चुगते तारक-अनार के दाने ।

होती सीमाहीन क्षितिज से
इन पंखों की होड़ा-होड़ी
या तो क्षितिज मिलन बन जाता
या तनती सॉंसों की डोरी ।

नीड़ न दो, चाहे टहनी का
आश्रय छिन्न-भिन्न कर डालो
लेकिन पंख दिए हैं तो
आकुल उड़ान में विघ्न न डालो ।

This is a wonderful poem and if we reach the deepness of the text we would understand how wonderful it is.

Tarak mean

I am not able to understand the meaning of ; chugte tarak anar ke daane ;

Re: Tarak means

Tarak means 'stars'. Here the poet is saying in alankaarith style that if we were free, we would have flown to eat stars as if they were 'anar ke daane'. In another words, if we are free, we can do whatever our imagination can think. There is no bound on our 'udaan'.

with these words poet is

with these words poet is comparing the 'anar ke dane' with twinkling stars. bird want to have stars in the same way as they eat red and delicious pomegranate seeds (anar ke dane).
