If you've tried and have not won,

Never stop for crying;

All's that's great and good is done
Just by patient trying.

Though young birds, in flying, fall,

Still their wings grow stronger;
And the next time they can keep
Up a little longer.

Though the sturdy oak has known

Many a blast that bowed her,
She has risen again, and grown
Loftier and prouder.

If by easy work you beat,

Who the more will prize you?
Gaining victory from defeat
That's the test that tries you!

Introduction (परिचय):
This poem conveys an important message about perseverance and resilience. It
highlights the significance of not giving up even when faced with failures or
challenges. The poet uses examples of young birds learning to fly and a sturdy oak
tree to illustrate the power of persistence and the rewards it brings.

Stanza 1)

If you've tried and have not won,

Never stop for crying;
All's that's great and good is done
Just by patient trying.
The first stanza reminds us that if we have tried our best but haven't won, we
should not give in to despair or give up. Instead of crying or feeling
disheartened, we should continue striving towards our goals.

पहली चौपाई हमें याद दिलाती है कि अगर हमने अपनी सर्वश्रेष्ठता से प्रयास किया है लेकिन हमने जीत नहीं हासिल की है, तो हम निराशा मनाने या हार
मानने को नहीं देना चाहिए। रोने या निराश होने की बजाय, हमें अपने लक्ष्यों की ओर प्रयासरत जारी रखना चाहिए।

Stanza 2)

Though young birds, in flying, fall,

Still their wings grow stronger;
And the next time they can keep
Up a little longer.

In this stanza, the poet compares young birds learning to fly. When they first
attempt to fly, they may fall and fail, but their wings grow stronger with each
attempt. The next time they try, they can fly a little longer. This teaches us that
failure is a part of the learning process and each setback makes us stronger and
more capable.

इस चौपाई में, कवि युवा पक्षियों को उड़ान सीखने के समानित करता है। जब वे पहली बार उड़ने का प्रयास करते हैं, तो वे गिर सकते हैं और
असफल हो सकते हैं, लेकिन हर प्रयास से उनके पंख मजबूत होते जाते हैं। अगली बार जब वे प्रयास करेंगे, तो वे थोड़ा और लंबे समय तक उड़
सकते हैं। इससे हमें यह सिखाया जाता है कि असफलता सीखने की प्रक्रिया का हिस्सा है और प्रत्येक असफलता हमें मजबूत और सक्षम बनाती है।

Stanza 3)

Though the sturdy oak has known

Many a blast that bowed her,
She has risen again, and grown
Loftier and prouder.

The poet uses the image of a sturdy oak tree to convey resilience and strength. The
oak tree has endured many strong winds and storms that have bent it down, but it
has always risen again and grown even taller and prouder. This teaches us the
importance of resilience in the face of challenges and that setbacks can ultimately
lead to personal growth and strength.

कवि द्वारा एक मजबूत बड़ीका वृक्ष की छवि का उपयोग किया गया है जो दृढ़ता और शक्ति को संचारित करती है। बड़ीका वृक्ष ने कई मजबूत हवाओं और
तूफानों का सामना किया है जो उसे झुका देते हैं, लेकिन वह हमेशा फिर से ऊठी है और और और ऊं चा और गर्वभरा हो गयी है। इससे हमें चुनौतियों
के सामने टिकाऊता और मजबूती की महत्वपूर्णता का संदेश मिलता है और कि असफलताएँ अंततः व्यक्तिगत विकास और शक्ति की ओर ले जा सकती हैं।

Stanza 4)

If by easy work you beat,

Who the more will prize you?
Gaining victory from defeat
That's the test that tries you!

The fourth stanza poses a question about the value of easy victories. It suggests
that if we easily defeat tasks that are not challenging, we may not be truly
appreciated or valued. The poem highlights that the true test of our abilities lies
in our ability to bounce back from defeat and achieve victory after facing
setbacks.

चौथी चौपाई में सवाल पूछा जाता है सुलझे हुए जीतों की महत्व के बारे में। इससे संके त मिलता है कि अगर हम आसानी से उन कार्यों को हरा देते हैं
जो मुश्किल नहीं होते, तो हमें सच्ची तरह से मूल्यांकित या सम्मानित नहीं किया जा सकता है। कविता इस बात का प्रकाश डालती है कि हमारी क्षमताओं
का सच्चा परीक्षण हार के बाद से ऊपर उठकर विजय प्राप्त करने में होता है।

Conclusion:
The poem concludes by emphasizing the significance of gaining victory from defeat.
It implies that the true measure of our character and determination is not how
easily we succeed, but how we overcome failure and setbacks. The poem encourages us
to stay persistent, embrace challenges, and keep trying, as it is through this
process that we can achieve great things in life.

कविता असफलता से विजय हासिल करने के महत्व को जोर देकर समाप्त होती है। इससे इशारा होता है कि हमारे चरित्र और संकल्प का सच्चा माप यह
नहीं है कि हम कितनी आसानी से सफल होते हैं, बल्कि यह है कि हम असफलता और पीछे हटकर कै से सामर्थ्य दिखाते हैं। कविता हमें प्रोत्साहित करती
है कि हम सतत रहें, चुनौतियों को ग्रहण करें और प्रयास करें, क्योंकि इस प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से ही हम जीवन में महान चीजें हासिल कर सकते हैं।
