An addition to Madhushaalaa

This post of mine is an addition to the antique piece of work named 'Madhushaalaa' by Late Shree Harivansh Rai Bachchan. This addition is not intended to any how disgrace the phenomenal work of Mr. Bachchan but a point of view of my own. Right before I wrote the following lines I was reading 'Madhushaalaa', and as we all know that it surely is one of the master-pieces of work in Hindi poetry. If read carefully each para of Madhushaalaa will convey a different meaning / message and each meaning of each para of this marvel work is true to what it conveys. I would like to salute Mr. Bachchan on his efforts to put carefully chosen words to deliver Madhushaalaa to Hindi Literature.

Samajh nahee payaa main haalaa
Na hee main samjha pyaalaa
Na samajha main saaquee ko
Na main samjha madhushaalaa

Jigyaasaa shant karne kee khatir
Main aaj gaya thaa madhushaalaa

Maine diya tha pyaalaa khud ko
Main hee thaa peenewala
Main banaa khud apnaa saaquee
Main madhu-vikretaa, main madhushaalaa

Jab main niklaa madhushaalaa se
Yaad rahe kuch shabd mujhe
Meraa haala mera pyaalaa
Mera saaquee meri madhushaala

  1. Brilliant is not the word that can be termed to this piece of work of urs...It is just unbelievable to even digest that at such a youngage if you can leave aside understand "Madhushaala" but also add your thoughts and link to one of the best poet's in India ..all I can say you have increased your level so high that I can write "ADII--in his 'unmatched' form"
