New Delhi [India], January 18 (ANI): Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s father Harivansh Rai Bachchan, who made a huge contribution to Hindi literature in his lifetime, was a renowned poet and writer.

A Padma Bhushan awardee Harivansh Rai’s best works include ‘Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti’, ‘Agnipath’, ‘Ruke Na Tu’ and ‘Madhushala’ among many others.

His words have not only been immortalized through his writings but also through their use in several Bollywood films. So on the occasion of his death anniversary let’s take a look at his work.

Madhushala

Madiralay jane ko ghar se, Chalta hai peene wala

Kis path se jaun? Asmanjas mein hai who bhola-bhaala

Alag-alag path batlaate sab, Par main yah batlaata hun-

Raah pakad tu ek chala chal, Paa jayega madhushala

Agnipath

Tu na thakega kabhi,

Tu na thamega kabhi,

Tu na mudega kabhi,

Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,

Agnipath, agnipath, agnipath

Purv Chalne Ke Batohi

Pustako me nahi chhaapi gayi iski kahani,

Haal iska gyat hota hai na auro ki zubani,

Anginat raahi gye is raha par, unka pata kya,

Par gye kuch log is par chod paero ki nishani,

Yeh nishani muk hokar bhi bhaut kuch bolti hai,

Khol iska arth, panthi, panth ka anumaan kar le

Purv chalne k batohi, bat ki pehchaan kar le

Ruke Na Tu

Dhanush utha, prahaar kar

Tu sabse pehla vaar kar

Agni si dhadhak-dhadhak

Hiran si sajag-sajag

Singh si dahaad kar

Shankh si pukaar kar

Ruke na tu, thake na tu

Jhuke na tu, thame na tu

Vishwa Sara So Raha Hai

Hain vicharte swaon sunder,

Kintu inka sang tajkar,

Vyom-vyaapi shoonyata ka

Kaun saathi ho raha hai?

Vishwa saara so raha hai. (ANI)
