Yaha  Sabh Kuch Bikta hai



Yaha sabh kuch bikta hai ,
              Rehna zara sambhal kar

Bechne wale hawa bhi bech dete hai ,
                 Gubbaro me daal kar

Sach bikta hai , jhooth bikta hai ,
              Bikti hai har kahani

Teen lok mein faila hai ,
               Fir bhi bikta hai bottle me paani 

Kabhi phoolon ki tarah mat jeena ,
       Jis din khiloge , toot kar bikhar jaoge

Jeena hai toh pathhar ki tarah jiyo ,
                          Jis din tarashe gaye ,                Khuda ban jaoge  ...!!!!

                ~By Harivansh Rai Bachchan 


        यहाँ सब कुछ बिकता है


यहाँ सब कुछ बिकता है, दोस्तों रहना जरा संभाल के
बेचने वाले हवा भी बेच देते है, गुब्बारों में डाल के

सच बिकता है, झूठ बिकता है, बिकती है हर कहानी
तीन लोक में फैला फिर भी, बिकता है बोतल में पानी

कभी फूलों की तरह मत जीना,
जिस दिन खिलोगे, टूट कर बिखर जाओगे।

जीना है तो पत्थर की तरह जियो;
जिस दिन तराशे गए, ख़ुदा बन जाओगे।।

                                ~ हरिवंशराय बच्चन


Below is the English translation of this poem.



Beware friends! Everything is for sale here!!!

Sellers may even sell off air , infusing it in balloons 🎈🎈!!!

Truth is sold , lies are sold; every story is being sold!!!

Spread across every surrounding, yet water gets sold in bottles  !!!

Never live like a flower;
The day you bloom….you would pluck and wither.

If you want to live, live like a stone 🪨 , 
The day you are fed up……you will turn into a “GOD”....!!!!!
