A Lament / एक अफ़सोस (Hindi) Poem by Rajnish Manga
A Lament / एक अफ़सोस (Hindi)
Original Poem is by Oscar Wilde
मूल रचना: ऑस्कर वाइल्ड
हिंदी रूपांतरण: रजनीश मंगा
जो विलासिता में रहता है उसके लिये सब ठीक है
यहाँ वहाँ सोने चाँदी को उसने संचित कर रखा है,
खुद को उसने वर्षा की चिंता से वंचित कर रखा है
भले वृक्ष वन में गिरते हों उसके लिये सब ठीक है.
उसके लिये सब ठीक जिसने है कभी जाना नहीं
भूख से वर्षों लड़ने वाले का ग़म क्या होता है
दुःख से रोता बाप बूढ़ा यूँ ही क्यों हो जाता है
और अकेली रोती माँ को भी उसने पहचाना नहीं.
पर जिसने अपने पाँवों से ही पूर्ण किया हो सफ़र
इन रस्तों पर चल चल कर थक कर चूर हुआ होगा,
जितने कष्ट मिले होंगे सब को साहस से सहा होगा
है बनाता सीढ़ी जो ले जाये स्वयं ईश्वर के दर पर.
O well for him who lives at ease
With garnered gold in wide domain,
Nor heeds the splashing of the rain,
The crashing down of forest trees. -
O well for him who ne'er hath known
The travail of the hungry years,
A father grey with grief and tears,
A mother weeping all alone. -
But well for him whose feet hath trod
The weary road of toil and strife,
Yet from the sorrows of his life
Builds ladders to be nearer God.
