Nur Ho Na Nirash Karo Man Ko by Maithili Sharan Gupt
Nar ho na nirash karo man ko,Kuch kaam karo kuch kaam karo
Jag mein rehkar nij naam karo, Ye janam hua kis arth aho
Samjho jisme ye vyarth na ho, Kuch to upyukt karo tan ko
Nar ho na nirash karo man ko
Sambhlo ki suyog na jaye chala, Kab vyarth hua sadupay bhala
Samjho na jag ko nira sapna, Path aap prashasth karo apna
Akhileswar hain avilamban ko, Nar ho na nirash karo man ko
Jab prapt tumhe sab tatv yahan, Phir jaa sakta vah satva kahan
Tum swavtatv sudha ras pan karo, Uthke amratv vidhan karo
Davroop raho bhav kanan ko, Nar ho na nirash karo man ko
Nij gaurav ka nit dhyan rahe, Hum bhi kuch hain yeh dhayn rahe
Sab jaye per abhi per man rahe, Marnoutar gunjit gaan rahe
Kuch ho na tajo nij sadhan ko, Nar ho na nirash karo man ko
(Maithili Sharan Gupt)
नर हो न निराश करो मन को, कुछ काम करो कुछ काम करो
जग में रहके निज नाम करो, यह जन्म हुआ किस अर्थ अहो
समझो जिसमें यह व्यर्थ न हो, कुछ तो उपयुक्त करो तन को
नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।
संभलो कि सुयोग न जाए चला, कब व्यर्थ हुआ सदुपाय भला
समझो जग को न निरा सपना, पथ आप प्रशस्त करो अपना
अखिलेश्वर है अवलम्बन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।
जब प्राप्त तुम्हें सब तत्त्व यहाँ, फिर जा सकता वह सत्त्व कहाँ
तुम स्वत्त्व सुधा रस पान करो, उठके अमरत्व विधान करो
दवरूप रहो भव कानन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।
निज गौरव का नित ज्ञान रहे, हम भी कुछ हैं यह ध्यान रहे
सब जाय अभी पर मान रहे, मरणोत्तर गुंजित गान रहे
कुछ हो न तजो निज साधन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।
(मैथिलीशरण गुप्त)
