On hindi poems -





On hindi poem - safar mein bheed ....




Safar - One of the gems from the great hindi poet/lyricist Nida Fazil.

Since the last two lines came across as negative for some of you (who were open to saying) and others too felt it negative but didn’t have courage /interest / time (or should I say sheer laziness) to write that down I am explaining that here today…..

In the entire poem the poet talks of how the journey of life is not an easy one! He is encouraging the person to ‘pick up and march ahead’ in life inspite of tough situation of life! But in the last couplet he seems to be ‘negative’ – so let’s see the poem once again!

The poem is written as a 'dialogue' that the poet has with someone he loves a lot. He is telling the 'realities of life to the other person about whose journey, well being and success the poet is concerned about. 

safar mein dhoop......badal sako tho chalo.....
In these stanzas he says this journey is no bed of roses. Hardships and tough situations are the hard facts of life and yet if you are “the brave and resilient one” you would walk this path and make it through! All through he talks about the requirement of our ‘inner strength’ that needs to be used/increased/required/developed to stand apart in the crowd!

yahaan kisi ko.....sambhal sako tho chalo.....
When he comes to last but one stanza he realizes that not all are ‘born’ with inner strength. Not everyone can tap his inner power. Some need help, support to even stand let alone walk. And so the poet says “if you are one of those weak ones and you need some push to move forward then I am ready to be trampled by you (used) if that can get you ahead in the race of life!”
