    WIND
    Before you Read

    The wind blows (moves)


    strongly and causes a lot of
    destruction (damage).
    How can we make friends with
    it?
    WIND

    Wind, come softly (quietly).


    Don’t break the shutters (doors) of the
    windows.
    Don’t scatter (spread) the papers.
    Don’t throw (फकना) down the books on
    the shelf (cupboard).
    There, look what you did — you threw them all
    down.
    WIND

    You tore (cracked) the pages of


    the books.
    You brought (ले आया) rain again.
    You’re very clever (smart) at
    poking (punching) fun
    at weaklings (weakness).
    WIND
    Frail (immoral) crumbling (breaking)
    houses,
    crumbling doors, crumbling rafters
    (roofs),
    crumbling wood, crumbling bodies,
    crumbling lives,
    crumbling hearts —
    WIND

    the wind god winnows (stir, clean) and


    crushes (beats) them all.
    He won’t do what you tell him.
    So, come, let’s build strong homes,
    Let’s joint (collective) the doors firmly
    (confidently).
    Practise (अ यास) to firm the body.
    WIND

    Make the heart steadfast (strong and fast).


    Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.
    The wind blows (moves, flows) out weak
    fires.
    He makes strong fires roar (shout) and
    flourish (grow).
    His friendship is good.
    We praise (appreciate) him every day.
    WIND
    Summary of the Poem
     The poet is talking to the wind. He is saying that it should come softly just like
    a small child does.
     Later, we come to know that the wind is full of energy, violence (anger) just
    like a youth (जवानी). It breaks everything, all the books which are kept on the
    shelf fall down due to strong wind.
     The word ‘Crumbling’ is said so many times. The poet is saying that whenever
    a weak person faces any difficulty or challenge in life he breaks down and falls.
    WIND

     A comparison (तुलना) is made between wheat (गेहूँ) and people.


    Just like we winnow (छनना) the wheat to separate the grain from
    chaff (भूसा), the wind god separates the strong people from the weak
    people.
     The poet wants us to make friends with the wind i.e the problems
    will come, so we should be prepared and be strong and then he says
    that we should also make our bodies strong and hearts firm to face
    these challenges.
