छोड़ो मत यह सुख का कण

Composed by सुमित्रानंदन पंत

Original Hindi

छोड़ो मत यह सुख का कण, करो नहीं जीवन निष्प्रभ; सुख कण से है सजता जीवन, जीवन से जग में नव वैभव! कर लो जग में जीवन-श्रृंगार, सुख के कण से रच अविराम; निकलेंगे तब भू पर ही स्वर्ग, सुख कण का होगा मधु धाम! दुख का कण, दुख का ही क्षण, करुणा का क्रंदन करता है; सुख का कण, सुख का ही क्षण, अमृत का संचार करता है! आओ, सुख के कण को पूजें, जीवन को हम स्वर्णिम रचें!

English Translation

Do not abandon this speck of joy, Do not make life lusterless; With specks of joy is life adorned, From life, new splendor in the world! Adorn your life in this world, Create tirelessly with specks of joy; Then heaven will emerge on Earth itself, A sweet abode of joyful specks! A speck of sorrow, a moment of sorrow, Cries out with compassion; A speck of joy, a moment of joy, Circulates the nectar of life! Come, let us revere these specks of joy, Let us craft life golden!

AI Echo (Hindi)

नित नवीन आशा को भर दें, क्षण-क्षण को उत्सव सा गढ़ दें। पतझड़ में भी मधुर बसंत हो, हर पीड़ा का सुंदर अंत हो। हर किरण में नव प्रभात जगे, हर साँस में जीवन का रंग सजे। छोटे-छोटे सपनों से ही, जीवन का भव्य महल रचें। दुख-सुख की आँधी से न डरें, हर पल को हम पूर्णता से भरें।

Let us fill each day with new hope, And sculpt every moment like a festival. Let there be sweet spring even in autumn, A beautiful end to every pain. Let new dawn awaken in every ray, Let life's color adorn every breath. With small, humble dreams alone, Let us build life's grand palace. Let us not fear the storms of joy and sorrow, Let us fill every moment with completeness.

Literary & Historical Context

"छोड़ो मत यह सुख का कण" (Do Not Abandon This Speck of Joy) by Sumitranandan Pant is a beautiful poem reflecting the human tendency to seek grand joys while often overlooking the small, significant moments of happiness that truly make life rich. Pant, a prominent figure of the Chhayavad (Romanticism) era in Hindi literature, often focused on nature, human emotions, and philosophical insights. This poem encourages cherishing every tiny bit of happiness, as these seemingly insignificant "specks of joy" accumulate to create a fulfilling and beautiful life. It contrasts the fleeting nature of sorrow with the life-giving essence of joy, advocating for a mindful appreciation of positive experiences to transform earthly existence into something akin to heaven. The poem's gentle yet profound message emphasizes finding beauty and contentment in simplicity, aligning with Pant's characteristic blend of lyrical grace and deep philosophical contemplation.
