Jo Beet gayi so baat gayi

One of my favourite poems, finally collected from the net!

Jo beet gayee so baat gayee


Jo beet gayee so baat gayee


jeevan meiN
ek sitaaraa tha
maana woh behad pyaara tha

woh Duub gayaa to Duub gaya
ambar ke aanan ko dekho
kitne iske taare TuuTe
kitne iske pyaare chhuuTe
jo chhuuT gaye fir kahaN miley
par bolo Tuute taaroN par
kab ambar shok manaata hai?

jo beet gayee so baat gayee

jeevan meiN tha woh ek kusum
the us par nitya nichhaawar tum
woh suukh gaya to suukh gaya
madhuvan ki chhaati ko dekho
suukhi iski kitni kaliyaaN
murjhaayee kitni vallariyaaN
jo murjhaayee fir kahaN khilii
par bolo suukhe fuuloN par
kab madhuvan shor machaata hai?

jo beet gayee so baat gayee

jeevan meiN madhu ka pyaalaa tha
tum ne tan-man de Daala tha
woh TuuT gaya to TuuT gaya

madiraalaya ka aaNgan dekho
kitne pyaale hil jaate haiN
gir miTTi meiN mil jaate haiN
jo girte haiN kab uThte haiN
par bolo TuuTe pyaaloN
par
kab madiraalaya pachhtaata hai?

jo beet gayee so baat gayee

mridu miTTi ke haiN bane huye
madhu ghaT phuuTa hi karte haiN
laghu jeevan lekar aaye haiN
pyaale TuuTa hi karte haiN
fir bhi madiraalaya ke andar
madhu ke ghaT haiN, madhu pyaale haiN
jo maadakta ke maare haiN
woh madhu luuTa hi karte haiN
woh kachcha peene waala hai
jiski mamta ghaT pyaaloN par
jo sachchhe madhu se jala huaa
kab rota hai chillaataa hai

jo beet gayee so baat gayee

The hindi is a little to difficult for me, but I'm sure it is something very meaningful. Nice colors and photos but.

Sandipan Mitra said...

thanks murali!
I hope atleast u got the crust of the poem! It is something as simple as "what's gone is gone"

All harivanshrai bachhan poems are this hard language but very nice to recite!

I remember my brother reading this poem aloud, walking back and forth in his room, while mom used to be in the kitchen and me and my didi admiring the poem :) where did u get this? whats that site?
And I appreciate the way u have presented it with the pics!

and come to think of it,,,the son and grandson of this great poet do latkas and jhatkas with Aish on Kajra re!! utter disgrace!

Sandipan Mitra said...

Ya will send u all the links!
Actually google search just really helped!
But i had thought the name of poem as jo beet gayi 'woh' baat gayi. So i ddn't get any results as it was 'so' bat gayi! Mons and anu helped me in recalling the full poem!
