From ancient to now poetry improved people and their mindset toward life.
It is an optimum combination of literature with art.
Here is one of the best poetry by Harivansh Rai Bachan.
As much I read it motivates me and helps me to never give up. I’m sure it will work for you as well.
हरिवंश राय बच्चन की कविता हिंदी में।
जब नाव जल में छोड़ दी
तूफ़ान में ही मोड़ दी
दे दी चुनौती सिंधु को
फिर धार क्या मझधार क्या ।
कह मृत्यु को वरदान ही
मरना लिया जब ठान ही
फिर जीत क्या फिर हार क्या ।
जब छोड़ दी सुख की कामना
आरंभ कर दी साधना
संघर्ष पथ पर बढ़ चले
पिर फूल क्या अंगार क्या ।
संसार का पी पी गरल
जब कर लिया मन को सरल
भगवान शंकर हो गए
फिर राख क्या श्रृंगार क्या ।
Poetry of Harivansh Rai Bachchan in English
Translated by okhvicky
When boat left in water
Twisted toward storm
Challenged sea already
Then what torrent? whats edge?
When death is a boon
decided to pass on
Then what’s victory, what’s loss?
When left happiness desire
Started to practice
Strode to struggle already, then
What’s flowers and what’s embers?
Took whole poison
Still simplified mind on
Became, om! Lord Shankar
Then what’s ashes? what’s charm?
