मुट्ठी में है तक़दीर हमारी हमने किस्मत को वश में किया है !
भोली-भाली मतवाली आँखों में क्या है ?
आँखों में झूमे उम्मीदों की दीवाली आने वाली दुनिया का सपना सजा है !
भीख में जो मोती मिलें, लोगे या न लोगे ? ज़िन्दगी के आँसुओं का बोलो क्या करोगे ?
भीख में जो मोती मिलें तो भी हम न लेंगे ज़िन्दगी के आंसुओं की माला पहिनेंगे मुश्किलों से लड़ते-भिड़ते जीने में मज़ा है !
हमसे न छिपाओ, बच्चों ! हमें तो बताओ आने वाली दुनिया कैसी होगी समझाओ ?
आने वाली दुनिया में सबके सर पे ताज होगा न भूखों की भीड़ होगी, न दुखों का राज होगा बदलेगा ज़माना, ये सितारों पे लिखा है !
नन्हें-मुन्ने बच्चे तेरी मुट्ठी में क्या है ?
मुट्ठी में है तकदीर हमारी हमने किस्मत को वश में किया है !
-शैलेन्द्र

We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not us to degrade other countries...I want the freedom of my country so that other countries may learn something from my free country so that the resources of my country might be utilized for the benefit of mankind.

There comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the cross-roads of history and must choose which way to go. But for us there need be no difficulty or hesitation, no looking to right or left. Our way is straight and clear—the building up of a socialist democracy at home with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations.

Kannada ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಸಿಂಹದ ಮರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಸಹ ತನ್ನೆದುರಿಗಿರುವ ಮದಭರಿತ ಆನೆಯ ಮೇಲೇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಹೀಗಿರುವಾಗ ತೇಜಸ್ವಿಗಳ ಜ್ಞಾನಕ್ಕೆ ವಯಸ್ಸು, ಅನುಭವ ಯಾವುದೂ ಕೂಡ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. -ಭರತ್ರ ಹರಿ
Hindi एक सिंह बालक भी बिना किसी भय और झिझक के एक मद मस्त हाथी के कपोलों पर कूद कर आक्रमण कर देता है यह पराक्रमी जीवों का स्वभाव होता है| यह उनकी आयु और शक्ति पर निर्भर नहीं करता है | -भरत्रहरी
English The lion even if it is just a cub, when wild elephants are seen, pounces on their hard temple region (from the front). This is the very nature of the people who are strong. Age is not a deterring factor for the valorous men. -BhartrahariSubmitted by: भर्तृहरि Submitted on: Sun Oct 06 2024 05:42:15 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) Category: Quote Acknowledgements: This is common knowledge (Shloka/s) Language: संस्कृत/SanskritSearch Tags: subhashita,सुभाषित,Sanskrit Works From the same creator: भर्तृहरि- Submit your work at A Billion Stories - Read your published work at https://readit.abillionstories.com - For permission to reproduce content from A Billion Stories in any form, write to editor@abillionstories.com
