कविता (Kavita – Poem) : हम-तुम (Hum-Tum – We and You)
कवि (Kavi – Poet): रमानाथ अवस्थी (Ramanath Avasthi)

जीवन कभी सूना न हो
कुछ मैं कहूँ, कुछ तुम कहो।

Life should not be in solitude,
little I will say, little you will.

तुमने मुझे अपना लिया
यह तो बड़ा अच्छा किया

You have accepted me,
this was a nice thing (You have done good)

जिस सत्य से मैं दूर था
वह पास तुमने ला दिया

From the truth, I was far away,
you brought it near to me.

अब ज़िन्द्गी की धार में
कुछ मैं बहूँ, कुछ तुम बहो।

Now in the flow of life,
little I will flow, little you will flow.

जिसका हृदय सुन्दर नहीं
मेरे लिए पत्थर वही।

Whose heart is not beautiful/lovely,
for me, he/she is a stone.

मुझको नई गति चाहिए
जैसे मिले वैसे सही।

I need a new speed,
how I will get it, I don’t care.

मेरी प्रगति की साँस में
कुछ मैं रहूँ कुछ तुम रहो।

In the breath of my progress,
little you will stay, little I will stay.

मुझको बड़ा सा काम दो
चाहे न कुछ आराम दो

Give me a big task,
it doesn’t matter, if no rest is given.

लेकिन जहाँ थककर गिरूँ
मुझको वहीं तुम थाम लो।

But where I will fall being tired,
hold me there.

गिरते हुए इन्सान को
कुछ मैं गहूँ कुछ तुम गहो।

To the falling man,
little I will get, little you will get.

संसार मेरा मीत है
सौंदर्य मेरा गीत है

World is my friend,
beauty is my song.

मैंने अभी तक समझा नहीं
क्या हार है क्या जीत है

I have not understood till now,
what is a defeat, what is a victory.

दुख-सुख मुझे जो भी मिले
कुछ मैं सहूं कुछ तुम सहो।

Sadness and happiness which I will get,
little I will bear/share, little you will bear/share.
