कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती

Composed by हरिवंश राय बच्चन

Original Hindi

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है, चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है। मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है, चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है। आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।

English Translation

Fearing the waves, a boat does not cross the ocean, Those who try, never face defeat. When a tiny ant carries a grain, It climbs walls, slips a hundred times. The faith in its heart fills its veins with courage, Falling after climbing, climbing after falling doesn't bother it. Ultimately, its hard work is not in vain, Those who try, never face defeat.

AI Echo (Hindi)

ये पथिक, तू हिम्मत मत हार कभी, सपनों को बुनना छोड़ मत अभी। हर ठोकर तुझको राह दिखाएगी, हर मुश्किल एक नया सबक सिखाएगी। धैर्य रख, समय चक्र अवश्य घूमेगा, हर संघर्ष तेरा मान बढ़ाएगा। उठ, चल, विजय तेरी प्रतीक्षा करती, क्योंकि कोशिश ही सच्ची शक्ति है भरती।

O traveler, never lose your courage, Do not stop weaving your dreams now. Every stumble will show you the way, Every difficulty will teach a new lesson. Have patience, the wheel of time will surely turn, Every struggle will enhance your honor. Rise, walk, victory awaits you, For effort truly fills one with strength.

Literary & Historical Context

"कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती" (Those who try, never face defeat) is one of the most iconic and motivational poems by Harivansh Rai Bachchan. A stalwart of the Chhayavaad (Romanticism) literary movement, Bachchan is widely celebrated for his simple yet profound language and universal themes. This particular poem, though simple in its narrative, embodies a powerful message of perseverance, courage, and unwavering faith in one's efforts. It uses relatable analogies, such as a boat crossing waves and a tiny ant climbing a wall, to illustrate that persistent endeavor inevitably leads to success, irrespective of setbacks. Its direct and inspiring tone has made it a favorite across generations, often recited in schools and public events, solidifying its place as a timeless anthem for resilience in Hindi literature. It reflects a shift towards more direct and accessible poetry that still carries deep philosophical weight, characteristic of Bachchan's later works that moved beyond pure romanticism.
