mein ik Shayar. Sher o Shayari ka ikShayar

Today is Valentines day, the 14th February, may be a day for lots of excitement for many. There are many stories regarding how Valentines day came in existence, however it is clear that there was a person named St. Valentines. But every year I see different story about the origin of Valentines Day. So in brief from the latest story I came to know about Valentines day, it was that in Rome in ancient times, a king for some reason imposed ban on marriage then it was St. Valentines who was helping people to marry and then he was caught. He used to say that there No Life Without Love. In cell, daughter of the King used to visit him as she was impressed a lot. He was sentenced to death by the king. Both gradually developed affection for each other and then the final day came. Just before his death he wrote a letter to the daughter of King.. the letter has final lines saying :

“Accept the Love of your Valentines”

So,may be I can write a small poem for the above story but in Hindi this time. As always, I am not regular to my this corner on the web. But atleast I should write something on day of love. I wrote on Independence day and few others so should write on Valentines day too.

व्यथा है, एक कथा है, प्रेम की सदैव यही प्र‍था है,
वर्ष बीते अनेक किंतु प्रेम बलिदान ने इतिहास रचा है,
प्रीत रीत उस भले मानस की,आज भी प्रेरणास्त्रोत उंचा है,

कितने राजे आये,प्रेम पंरपरा न डिगा पाये,
कोयल सी इस कूक को, गीदड़बग्घी से न उरा पाये,
कष्ट, पीड़ा की न सीमा,पर न कोई इसे मिटा पाये,

प्रेम दिवस है नाम दिया, संत ने जीवनदान दिया,
पाठ पढ़ाया, प्रेम बिना न कोई जीवन,
प्रेमपथ रोड़ा उस मृत्यु को भी सम्मान दिया,

व्यथा है, एक कथा है, प्रेम की सदैव यही प्र‍था है,
कभी रुप वेलेंटांइस, कभी जन मानस ब्यार,
बहती गंगा मानिंद ये प्रेम कभी न रुका है

So above was my little try, I know there are many who can understand hindi but can’t read it so I am typing again in English fonts..

Vyatha hai, ek katha hai, prem ki sadaiv yahi pratha hai,
Beete varsha anek kintu prem balidan ne itihaas racha hai,
Preet reet uss bhale maanas ki, aaj bhi prerna srot uncha hai,

Kitne raje aye, prem parampara na diga paye,
Koyal si iss kook ko, geedarbhabki se na dara paye,
kasht,peeda ki naa seema, par naa koi isse mita paye,

Prem divas naam diya hai, sant nae jeevan daan diya,
Paath padhaya, Prem bina na koi jeevan,
Prem path roda,uss mrityu ko bhi samman diya

Vyatha hai, ek katha hai, prem ki sadaiv yahi pratha hai,
Kabhi roop valentines, kabhi jan-maanav byaar,
Behti ganga manind ye prem naa kabhi ruka hai… !
