Re Kabira....

--o Re Kabira 010 o-- पुष्प की अभिलाषा चाह नहीं, मैं सुरबाला के गहनों में गूँथा जाऊँ, चाह नहीं प्रेमी-माला में बिंध प्यारी को ललचाऊँ, चाह नहीं सम्राटों के शव पर हे हरि डाला जाऊँ, चाह नहीं देवों के सिर पर चढूँ भाग्य पर इठलाऊँ, मुझे तोड़ लेना बनमाली, उस पथ पर देना तुम फेंक! मातृ-भूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने, जिस पथ पर जावें वीर अनेक! ---oo Pandit Makhan Lal Chaturvedi oo-- My Interpretation Nothing comes ahead of service of the motherland; it is a privilege to be in service of the motherland in one way or other. Translation I do not wish to adorn a beautiful maiden’s ornaments, I do not wish to be a gift for your beloved, I do not wish to be on the graves of great kings, I do not wish to be proudly placed on idols of Gods, I rather wish to be plucked to be spread on the paths, on which the braves martyrs walked to give their life for their motherland! --o Re Kabira 010 o-- #salute #india #indianarmy #terroristattack #makhanlalchaturvedi #RepublicDay #India # AzadiKaAmritMahots

--- o Re Kabira 006 o --- शब्द बराबर धन नहीं, जो कोई जाने बोल | हीरा तो दामो मिले, शब्द मोल न तोल || --- oo Sant Kabir Das oo --- Translation: Words are invalualble, only a good orator know it. You can buy jewels for any value, but it is very difficult to value words. My Interpretation: One should be very careful with what they speak and words they choose. Words have immense value, if used appropriately (at right time, at right place and at right location). Whether ones intentions are good or bad, can be achieved with right selection words.   --- o Re Kabira 006 o ---
