Banjaranama
The Banjaranama (بنجارانامہ, बंजारानामा, ''Chronicle of the Nomad'') is a famous satirical Urdu poem, written by the eighteenth-century Indian poet Nazeer Akbarabadi. The poem's essential message is that pride in worldly success is foolish, because human circumstances can change in a flash, material wealth and splendor is always transient, and death is the only certainty for all men. The poem quickly captured the popular imagination, and achieved fame in the Indian subcontinent that has lasted for over two centuries. Critics have observed that, despite the deliberate simplicity of its language, the poem's idioms and imagery were dazzling in their span, and portrayed lives of wealth and power as ultimately subject to a nomad's whims (an allusion to death).〔 The poem continues to be hailed as distilling "''the teachings of thousands of years into one summary form''." ==Refrain and example verse== All verses in the poem end on the same refrain: ''Sab thaath para reh javega, Jab laad chalega banjara'' (''All your splendor will lie useless, when the nomad packs-up and leaves''). By itself, the refrain is frequently used in popular culture as a reminder that death is the "great leveler" and it is short-sighted to sacrifice conscience to greed. The refrain is sometimes used in political and parliamentary speeches in India as well.
