Nothing to fear

A ship in harbor

A ship in harbor is safe -- but that is not what ships are built for.
 John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic, 1928

Himmat Karne Waalon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti..

A poem by Harivanshrai Bachchan:

 

Lehron Se Dar Kar Nauka Paar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Nanhi Chinti Jab Dana Lekar Chalti Hai

Chadti Deewaron Par Sau Baar Fisalti Hai

Mann Ka Vishwas Ragon Mein Sahas Banta Hai

Chad Kar Girna, Gir Kar Chadna Na Akharta Hai

Akhir Uski Mehnat Bekar Nahi Hoti

Koshish Karne Waalon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Dubkiyan Sindu Mein Gota Khor Lagata Hai

Ja Ja Kar Khali Haath Laut Aata Hai

Milte Na Sehej Hi Moti Pani Mein

Behta Duna Utsah Issi Heiraani Mein

Mutthi Uski Khali Har Baar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Asaflta Ek Chunati Hai Sweekar Karo

Kya Kami Reh Gayi Dekho Aur Sudhaar Karo

Jab Tak Na Safal Ho Neend Chain Ki Tyago Tum

Sangharshon Ka Maidaan Chhod Mat Bhago Tum

Kuch Kiye Bina Hi Jai Jai Kaar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....
