ग्राम श्री

Composed by सुमित्रानंदन पंत

Original Hindi

फैल गया खेतों में श्यामल भू पर हरियाली का आँचल। धूप सुनहरी साँझ सवेरे, हरित धरा पर कँपकँपाती। नील गगन की शोभा न्यारी, स्वर्णिम किरणों से संवारी। गेहूँ के खेतों में सुंदर अंकित नव जीवन का अंतर। रंग-बिरंगे फूल खिले हैं, दूब पर ओस कण मिले हैं। शीतल मंद बयार बहती, मन में मधुरता नित रहती। मेघों का गर्जन है धीमा, साँझ-सवेरे शीतल सीमा।

English Translation

Across the fields, a dark green spreads, A pall of greenery over the earth. Golden sunbeams, evening and morning, Tremble upon the verdant ground. The blue sky's beauty is unique, Adorned by golden rays. In the wheat fields, lovely and deep, Is etched the soul of new life. Colorful flowers have bloomed, Dew drops mingle on the grass. A cool, gentle breeze flows, Sweetness ever dwells in the heart. The clouds' rumble is soft, A cool frontier at dusk and dawn.

खेतों की यह शांत कहानी, कहती है जीवन की वाणी। हरियाली में लिपटा हर पल, मिट्टी का है यह निर्मल जल। चिड़ियों का कलरव गुंजित, मधुमय संगीत है संचित। ग्राम्य जीवन की यह शोभा, मन को हरती, दुख को खोभा। यहीं प्रकृति का सच्चा सार, प्रेम भरा अनुपम उपहार। इस सुंदरता में खो जाते, हम अपने को फिर से पाते।

This calm story of the fields, Speaks the voice of life itself. Every moment wrapped in green, This pure essence of the earth. The chirping of birds resonates, Sweet music accumulated. This beauty of village life, Charms the heart, dispels all strife. Here lies nature's true essence, A unique gift, full of love's presence. Lost within this beauty, We find ourselves anew, fully.
