कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती!!

Koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti!!	कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती!!	Those who make efforts, dont fail!!
Lehron se Darkar nauka par nahin hoti, koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti, Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai, chadhti deewaron par, sau bar phisalti hai. Man ka vishwas ragon mein saahas bharta hai, chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna na akharta hai. Akhir uski mehnat bekar nahin hoti, koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti. Dubkiyan sindhu mein gotakhor lagata hai, ja ja kar khali haath lautkar aata hai Milte nahi sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein, badhta dugna utsah isi hairani mein. Muthi uski khali har bar nahin hoti, koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti. Asaflta ek chunauti hai, ise sweekar karo, kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhar karo. Jab tak na safal ho, neend chain ko tyago tum, Sangharsh ka maidan chhodkar mat bhago tum. Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti, koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti.	लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती हिम्मत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती नन्ही चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है चढ़ती दीवारों पर सौ बार फिसलती है मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है चढ़ कर गिरना, गिर कर चढ़ना न अखरता है आखिर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती डुबकियां सिन्धु में गोताखोर लगाता है जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौट आता है मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती पानी में बढ़ता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में मुठ्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती हिम्मत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती असफलता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो क्या कमी रह गयी, देखो और सुधार करो जब तक सफल न हो, नींद चैन का त्यागो तुम संघर्षों का मैदान छोढ़ मत भागो तुम कुछ किये बिना ही जय जयकार नहीं होती हिम्मत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती	The boat that qualms the waves, never gets across Those who make efforts, don’t fail The tiny ant, when it carries the grain Climbs up on the wall, falls slipping a hundred times, The faith in the mind, stirs courage in the nerves Climbing up and falling down it does not mind, Ultimately, its efforts do not go waste, Those who make efforts, don’t fail The diver dives into the water of the sea, He returns empty handed a number of times, Not easy it is to find a pearl in the deep waters, But this in turn doubles his enthusiasm, His fists are not empty every time, Those who make efforts, don’t fail Failure is a challenge, accept it, Recognise your shortcomings, and rectify them. Till you succeed, shun the restful sleeps, Don’t run away from the battlefield of struggle, You cannot get praise without working for it, Those who make efforts, don’t fail
