हताशा से एक व्यक्ति बैठ गया था

Original Poetry
Translation
हताशा से एक व्यक्ति बैठ गया था
A person sat down feeling hopeless
व्यक्ति को मैं नहीं जानता था
I didn't know the person
हताशा को जानता था
I understood hopelessness
इसलिए मैं उस व्यक्ति के पास गया
So I approached that person
मैंने हाथ बढ़ाया
I reached out my hand
मेरा हाथ पकड़कर वह खड़ा हुआ
He stood up by holding my hand
मुझे वह नहीं जानता था
He didn't know me
मेरे हाथ बढ़ाने को जानता था
He recognized my gesture of reaching out
हम दोनों साथ चले
We walked together
दोनों एक दूसरे को नहीं जानते थे
We didn't know each other
साथ चलने को जानते थे
But we knew how to walk together.
 

Explanation

This poem by Vinod Kumar Shukla delves into the theme of human connection beyond personal acquaintance. It begins with a person sitting in despair, a state that the narrator recognizes and empathizes with, even though he doesn't know the individual personally. The narrator's act of extending a hand symbolizes a gesture of support and solidarity, which the other person responds to by standing up. This mutual understanding and shared experience of despair create a bond between them, allowing them to walk together. The poem emphasizes that while they may not know each other personally, they share a common understanding of human emotions and the need for companionship. The poem uses simple language to convey profound ideas about empathy, connection, and the shared human experience, highlighting how gestures of kindness can bridge gaps between individuals.
