दुख-सुख के साथी हम दोनों,
साथ न तेरा कभी छोडेंगे!
जब दोस्त बनाया है तुमको,
तेरे गम से मुँह् न मोडेंगे!
तहस-नहस नेपाल हुआ,
विकट रूप धर धरती कांपी!
हर घर फैला मातम का साया,
भारत में भी छाई उदासी
भूख प्यास से बोझिल है सब,
चारों ओर बर्बादी छायी!
घर से बेघर हो गये है अब,
ऐसी विपदा तुम पर आयी
झेल रहे तुम कष्ट वहाँ पर,
मन अपना भी यहाँ भारी है
मदद करेंगे मिल कर हम सब,
बात यह अब मन में ठानी है!
उठ खडा होगा नेपाल फिर एक दिन,
हर आँख से आंसू पोंछेंगे!
जब दोस्त बनाया है तुमको,
तेरे गम से मुँह् न मोडेंगे!
We also wish to contribute for the cause of relief and rehabilitation of Nepal. We all are very keen to provide helping hand to the grief-stricken, thirsty, hungry, homeless and shattered neighbors and friends. The best way for giving our contribution is by donating to Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (https://pmnrf.gov.in/). I had also donated my modest contribution to PM's National Relief Fund through the above website. It is considered to be the most trustworthy and reliable source for expressing your gratitude. Donating through this website is very easy, their is quick transfer of fund through a payment-gateway and a system generated temporary receipt is received instantaneously. To my surprise, within few days of this transaction I also received a formal receipt of my contribution to PMNRF along with an acknowledgement letter from the Under Secretary, Prime Minister's Office.
The other option is to make our donations in favour of some renowned, authenticated and trustworthy non-government organizations which are genuinely undertaking the relief work. Times of India has published a list of NGO’s (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/listshow/47129159.cms) along with their addresses, their plan to provide relief to earthquake victims of Nepal, how to reach them and nature of help sought by them. These NGO’s are involved in various relief and rehabilitation activities in Nepal. Most of them prefer financial grants. Several Newspapers and FM radio channels are also collecting donations for this cause. There is no dearth of good people wanting to reach out to help the Nepalese in distress. But their genuineness holds most of us aback. Authenticity of the agency must thoroughly be checked before making donations. We hope our paltry contributions shall reach to the grief struck people of Nepal...
