Chaah nahin

-

They say childhood memories are golden memories for the lifetime. What you experience during the childhood you will always cherish those moments for lifetime and what you’ll learn will always remember for the life time. One such beautiful poem “Chaah nahin” written by Makhanlal Chaturedi always ring a bell in my ear whenever I go back to my childhood days. This is one of my favorite poem remained forever.

Chaah nahin main surbala ke
Gahanon men goontha jaon,

Chah nahin, premi mala mein
Bindh pyaari koa lalchaaoon,

Chaah nahin, samraaton ke shav
Par he hari, daalaa jaaoon,

Chaah nahin, devon ke sir par
Chadhoon bhagya par ithalaaun

Mujhe tod lena vanmaali
Us path par dena tum fenk,

Matribhumi par shish chadhanen
Jis path par jaayen veer anek

~ Makhanlal Chaturedi

To begin, its a beautiful poem, hats off to Makhanlal Chaturvedi.

Secondly hats off to you for recollecting the entire poem and the author too.

Thirdly, I don't recollect learning Hindi in my high school days, I guess it lasted only till my middle school. I had Sanskrit as Ist Language and Kannada as third with English being second,no more languages.

There have been moments of joy, moments of sorrow, and everything in between.
