Those Who Fly Poem by Rajnish Manga

Those Who Fly

Rating: 4.9

जो उड़ते हैं
जरूरी नहीं वो पक्षी ही हों

जो दो पांवों पर चलते हों
जरूरी नहीं आदमी हों.

(मूल लेखक श्री विष्णु नागर)



Those who fly
Are not essentially the birds;

Those who walk on their two legs,
Are not essentially the human beings.

(English Translation by Rajnish Manga)

A poem of great depth, philosophy and wisdom. Both the poems in English and Hindi are competing with each other to see who can fly higher. Superb Rajnish ji.......10

Yes, people can fly if they are doing something exceptionally well. These high-flyers are doing better than those who can only walk. Brilliant analogy.
