Ardh satya

Ardh Satya( Half Truth )

This is the theme poem of the movie Ardh Satya. The whole movie revolves around the poem with Om puri, a honest police cop, enters into the chakravyuh of crime,corruption,deceit and ultimately ends up in a position where he has to choose between being a puppet in the hands of the local goons,higher ranked officials and giving up his job ,regaining his manliness after being an "impotent" police officer trying to sustain his position,his job. A classic from content cinema with great actors, starring Om Puri as the honest cop and Smita Patil ,who even in this protagonist-centric drama exudes elegance as an ordinary teacher trying to decide on her association with the cop.

chakravyuh me ghusane se pahale

mai kaun thaa aur kaisaa thaa

ye mujhe yaad hi na rahegaa

chakravyuh me ghusane ke baad

mere aur chakravyuh ke bich

sirf ek jaan-levaa nikatataa thi

isakaa mujhe pataa hi na chalegaa

chakravyuh se baahar nikalane par

mai mukt ho jaa_un bhale hi

phir bhi

chakravyuh ki rachanaa me farq hi na padegaa

marun yaa maarun

maaraa jaa_un yaa jaan se maar dun

is kaa faisalaa kabhi na ho paayegaa

soyaa huaa aadami jab nid se uth kar

chalanaa shuru karataa hai

tab sapano kaa sasaar use dubaaraa

dikh hi na paayaegaa

us roshani me jo nirnay ki roshani hai

sab kuchh samaan hogaa kyaa?

ek palade me napusakataa

ek palade me paurushh

aur thik taraazu ke kaante par

ardh-satya

<English Translation>

Before entering the circle of deceit,

who I was, and what I was,

I would not remember.

After entering the circle of deceit,

(there was) between me and the circle,

only a deathly intimacy

that I never realised.

After leaving the circle of deceit,

even if I am set free,

the design of the circle of deceit,

will hardly be different.

Whether I kill, or die,

Am killed, or kill (the other)

these questions will never be decided.

When a sleeping man

awakes and steps forth,

then the world of dreams

may never be seen again (by him).

In that, the light of Decision,

will everything be level ?

On one tray (of a balance) is Impotence,

and on the other is Manhood,

and exactly at the needle point,

a half-truth.
