I am reminded of a beautiful poem by Gopal Das Neeraj, a very renowned author in the world of Hindi literature..and felt like sharing some of the my favorite stanzas from it with you all...
" O thee who stealthily shed tears
Who waste these pearls of their eye
If some dreams cease to be
Life doesn't end, it doesn't die.. "
" O thee who spend their days glum
Who sew their torn shirts and cry
If some lamps get extinguished
The porch stays, it doesn't die.. "
" O thee who extend the darkness
Who reduce the life of light
Fall may try, and then try
The orchard lives, it doesn't die.. "
" O thee who embrace hatred
Who throw dirt on every guy
Even if some faces are upset
The mirror stays, it doesn't die !!"
The Actual hindi poem ..
" छिप छिप अश्रु बहाने वालो, मोती व्यर्थ लुटाने वालो
कुछ सपनो के मर जाने से, जीवन नही मरा करता है ! "
" रूठे दिवस मनाने वालो, फटी कमीज़ सिलाने वालो
कुछ दीपों के बुझ जाने से, आंगन नही मरा करता ! "
" तम की उम्र बढाने वालो, लौ की आयु घटाने वालो
लाख करे पतझर कोशिश पर, उपवन नही मरा करता है !"
" नफरत गले लगाने वालो, सब पर धूल उडाने वालो
कुछ मुखडों की नाराज़ी से, दर्पन नही मरा करता है !"
Feel it steemians, feel the magic of a soothing poetry.. :)
