THE VOICE OF THE RAIN | Explanation in Hindi

THE VOICE OF THE RAIN  | HORNBILL | CBSE| NCERT | PLUS ONE | Explanation in Hindi

By Walt Whitman

Rain

About the Poet : 

Walt Whitman, America's
most influential poets was born on
May 31, 1819 in West Hills, Long
Island, New York. He was the
second of nine children and was
immediately nicknamed "Walt" to
distinguish him from his father. At the age of 11, Walt Whitman was  taken out ofs by his father to give a helping hand with household income. He started to work as an office boy for Brooklyn-based attorney team and eventually found
employment in the printing business. At the age of seventeen, he began his career as
teacher in the one-room school
houses of Long Island. He
continued to teach until 1841
when he turned to journalism as a
full-time career

Walt Whitman

At the outbreak of the Civil War,
Whitman vowed to live "cleansed" life. He worked as a freelance journalist and visited the wounded at New York City-area
hospitals. He then traveled to
Washington, D. C. in December
1862 to care for his brother who
had been wounded in the war.
Overcome by the suffering of the
many wounded in Washington,
Whitman decided to stay and work
in the hospitals and stayed in the
city for eleven years. Whitman
struggled to support himself
through most of his life. In
Washington, he lived on a clerk's
salary and modest royalties.
But in 1873 his life took a dramatic
turn for the worse. In January of
that year he suffered a stroke that
left him partially paralyzed. In May
he traveled to Camden, New
Jersey, to see his ailing mother,
who died just three days after his
arrival. Whitman found it
impossible to continue with his job
in Washington and relocated to
Camden to live with his brother
George and sister-in-law Lou.

On March 26, 1892, Walt Whitman
passed away in Camden.

Rephrasing of the poem

Stanza 1

And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower,

Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:

Explanation :

Poet is watching rain falling on the roof and get excited. He tries to know who it is and get surprised hearing the answer of the rain. Poet asked the gently falling rain who it was. Poet feels strange when rain starts answering his question. Answer is translated as below.
Here poet personifies the rain as he tries to attribute human qualities to a non living thing.

Explanation in Hindi:

 तुम कौन हो? कवि धीमे से पड़ने वाली बर्षा से पूछता है। कवि को ये बहुत ही अजीब लगता है कि बर्षा उसके सवाल का जबाब देती है। जिसे वह इस तरह से अनुवाद करता है।

Stanza 2

I am the Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain,

Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea,

Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely formed, altogether changed, and
yet the same,

I descend to lave the droughts, atomies , dust-layers of the globe,

And all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn;

And forever, by day and night, I give back life to my own origin,

and make pure and beautify it;

Explanation:

According to poet, rain says that it is the  poem of the earth.  It continuously rises from land and deep seas in the form of evaporation which can't be seen or touched at all. It goes toward sky and takes rough shape of clouds , a changed shape yet it remains the same. ( It still remains in the form of water vapour and can't be touched). It now drops on the earth and washes the droughts prevailed during the long summer season.  It  wets the dust layers of the world    and provides water to the seeds buried under soil without Life.

Plants growing

Rain  gives them water to germinate. Rain always  refreshes and gives new life to  its own origin. It  makes this earth pure and beautiful.

 Explanation in Hindi:

वर्षा कहती है कि वह इस धरती की poem है। बर्षा निरन्तर धरती और गहरे समुद्रों से ऐसे रूप में बनती है जिसे छुआ नहीं जा सकता है। ऐसे रूप में ये आसमान की ओर उठती है जहाँ पर ये अस्पष्ट रूप धारण करती है। लेकिन ये बदलने के बाद भी पुराने रूप में ही रहती है। फिर ये बर्षा बनकर धरती पर गिरती है और सूखे को धो देती है । ये धूल की परत को भी गीला करती है, जिसमें बीज बिना जन्म के छुपे रहते है । उन बीजों को भी नया जन्म देती है। दिन रात बर्षा करके ये

River Refreshed

अपने उत्पत्ति स्थल, नदियों और समुद्रों को भी जीवन पुनर्जीवित करती है तथा उन्हें शुद्ध और सुन्दर बनाती हूँ।

Stanza 3

(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfilment, wandering,

Recked or unrecked, duly with love returns.)

Explanation:

Last two lines are not part of dialogue between rain and poet. This is general observation of the poet. When a song originates from a musician (its birthplace), it moves throughout the world. Whether anyone admires / appreciates  or not, it doesn't care about it. A song comes out of the singer and the world listens to it. It may be appreciated or not, doesn't matters to it . One day it returns to the singer as love and admiration.

Explanation in Hindi:

ये कवि और वर्षा के वीच का वार्तालाप नहीं है। ये कवि का अपना विचार है। इसी बजह से इन लाइनों को प्रकोष्ठों में रखा गया है। कवि का मानना है कि जब कोई संगीतकार कोई गीत गाता है तो ये पूरे संसार में फैल जाता है। लोग उसे पसंद करते है या नहीं , इस बात का कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता है। एक दिन ये अपने जन्मदाता के पास प्रेम और प्रशंसा के रूप में लौट कर आता है।

Sea Beach

Stenza 1
The cardboard shows me how it was
When the two girl cousins went paddling
Each one holding one of my mother's hands.
And she the big girl- some twelve years or so
All three stood still to smile through their hair
At the uncle with the camera. A sweet face
My mother's, that was before I was born
And the sea, which appears to have changed less
Washed their terribly transient feet.

Explanation chapter 1 : The Port rait of A Lady 

Explanation:  

Poet one day found a old photo of her mother which is pasted on a cardboard. Poet's mother had once been to a sea beach with her two little girl cousins who are holding one hand of mother. Poet's mother is of twelve years and older than her cousins. All the three stood still at a shallow water with flying hair while their uncle take photograph. This happens long before the poet born.
Aunt Jennifer's Tigers
Sea looks unchanged throughout these long years which washed  their transient feet. Nature changes at snails pace while human beings changes rapidly.

Explanation in Hindi:

Poet एक दिन अपनी माँ का फोटो देखती है जो एक गत्ते पर चिपकाया गया है। यह फोटो उस समय लिया गया था ।

Mother and her  cousins

जब माँ बचपन में beach पर छुट्टी मनाने जाती है। उसके साथ उसकी दो चचेरी बहनें भी हैं जो उसका एक हाथ पकड़े हुए हैं। poet की मां उस वक़्त 12 साल की रही होगी और अपनी दोनों बहनों से बड़ी है। ये तीनों ही उथले पानी में खड़ी हैं। समय के साथ न बदलने वाला समुद्र उनके नशवर पैरों को दो रहा है। जब अंकल उनकी फोटो खींचते तो वे मुस्कुरा रही हैं और उनके बाल उड़ रहे हैं।

Stenza 2:

Some twenty-thirty years later
She'd laugh at the snapshot. "See Betty
And Dolly." she'd say, "and look how they
Dressed us for the beach." The sea holiday
Was her past, mine is her laughter. Both wry
With the laboured ease of loss.

Explanation:

After twenty-thirty years later when poet's mother is in her thirties or forties, looks  this photograph and laughs. She laughs at the way her cousins were dressed up for beach holiday. Beach holiday was her past as she has already lost her childhood. She recalls and get amused. Poet has also lost her mother's laughter because mother is already dead.

Explanation in Hindi:

माँ की लगभग उतने साल पहले मृत्यु हो चुकी है जितनी आयु की लड़की इस फोटो में दिखाई दे रही है (लगभग 12 साल) । इन परिस्थितियों में कवि कुछ भी कहने योग्य नही है। खामोशी उसे घेरे रहती है। माँ के जाने के बाद वह उदास है तथा अकेला महसूस कर रही है।
