Agneepath

The Bollywood superstar of the century --- Amitabh Bachhaan. Every one knows a thing or two about his struggles and his endearing sheer intensity of putting life to all the characters he played. Indeed, a living legend he is.

He had come to a TV program as a guest judge and was asked to recite something in his remarkable voice. He recited a poem by his father, Harivansh Rai Bachhaan. His baritone voice was a perfect match to the poem, which was having a motivational quotient in it. Following was the poem and feel the aroma of feel-goodness:

वृक्ष हो भले घने,
हो घने हो बड़े,
एक पट छाव की मांग मत, मांग मत,
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ.

तू न थकेगा कभी,
तू न थमेगा कभी,
तू न मुड़ेगा कभी,
कर शपथ , कर शपथ, कर शपथ,
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ.

ये महान दृश्य है,
चल रहा मनुष्य है,
अश्रु स्वेद रक्त से लथपथ, लथपथ, लथपथ,
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ

An excellent poem by Harivanshrai Bachchanji. It inspires us to never ever to give up though life may seem difficult, full of hardships and struggles, with nothing going our way. This poem is very popular poem and many number of people request the great Mr. Amitabh Bachchan to receite it for them - and its amazing how he does it soo passionately on all the occasions. You can actually feel yourself motivated just by listening to him receite the poem! A great inspiration indeed!
