ग्राम श्री

Composed by सुमित्रानंदन पंत

Original Hindi

फैली खेतों में दूर तलक, मखमली हरियाली लहलहक। धरती के आँचल पर फैली, सरसों पीली-पीली। रवि-किरणें स्वर्ण-पंख बिखेरीं, नभ में रंगीली। उड़ते पक्षी नील गगन में, गाते मीठी बोली। शीत पवन हर शाख झूलाती, पहन रंग-बिरंगी चोली। गाँव के खेतों-खलिहानों में, खुशियों का मेला। प्रकृति का यह अनुपम सौंदर्य, देखे मन अकेला।

English Translation

Spread far across the fields, Velvety greenery sways. On the earth's lap, scattered, Mustard, yellow-yellow. Sun rays, spreading golden wings, Painted the sky colorfully. Birds fly in the blue heavens, Singing sweet melodies. Cool breeze sways every branch, Wearing a colorful attire. In the village fields and barnyards, A fair of joy. This unique beauty of nature, The heart beholds, all alone.

AI Echo (Hindi)

कितनी निर्मल कितनी शांत, लगती है यह भूली भ्रांत। शहरों के शोर से दूर कहीं, मन को मिलती यहाँ रोशनी। पतझर के बाद नव-जीवन, हर कली में नया स्पंदन। पर यह सुंदरता क्षणभंगुर, कब तक रहेगी ऐसी मधुर? काल चक्र चलता ही जाए, हर रूप नया कब आए? जो देखा वह मन में बसा, क्या यह ही जीवन की दशा? या भीतर कोई और आस, ढूँढता रहे जीवन का सार।

AI Echo (English)

How pure, how serene, This forgotten illusion seems. Somewhere far from the city's din, Here the mind finds its light. New life after autumn's end, A new pulse in every bud. Yet this beauty is so fleeting, How long will it remain so sweet? The wheel of time keeps turning, When will each new form reappear? What was seen settled in the mind, Is this the sole state of life? Or within, another hope persists, Searching for life's true essence.
