All Things Bright And Beautiful
 |
All things bright and beautiful ,
All creatures great and small ,
All things wise and wonderful ,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Its little bird that sings ,
He made their glowing colours ,
She made their tiny wings .
The rich man in his Castle ,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordere'd their estate.
The sunset and the morning ,
The river running by ,
The purple headed mountain ,
That brightens up the sky .
The cold wind in the winter ,
The pleasant summer sun ,
The ripe fruits in the garden ,
He made them everyone .
The tall trees in the green wood ,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water ,
We gather everyday .
He gave us eyes to see them ,
And lips that we might tell ,
How great is God Almighty ,
Who made all things well.
-Cecil Frances Alexander
हिन्दी अर्थ
सभी चीजें चमकीली और सुंदर हैं ,
सभी प्राणी महान और छोटे,
सभी चीजें बुद्धिमान और अद्भुत,
परमेश्वर ने उन सभी को बनाया।
खुलने वाला हर छोटा फूल,
हर छोटी चिड़िया जो गाती है,
उन्होंने उनके चमकीले रंग बनाए,
उन्होंने उनके छोटे पंख बनाए।
अपने महल में अमीर आदमी,
गरीब आदमी उसके द्वार पर,
भगवान ने उन्हें बनाया, ऊँचे या नीच,
और उनकी संपत्ति का आदेश दिया।
सूर्यास्त और सुबह,
बहती नदी,
बैंगनी सिर वाला पहाड़,
जो आकाश को रोशन करता है।
सर्दियों में ठंडी हवा,
सुखद गर्मी का सूरज,
बाग में पके फल,
उन्होंने सबको बनाया।
हरे जंगल में ऊंचे पेड़,
घास के मैदान जहाँ हम खेलते हैं,
पानी से दौड़ती जलीय पौधे,
हम रोज इकट्ठा होते हैं।
उन्होंने हमें उन्हें देखने के लिए आँखें दीं,
और होंठ जो हम बता सकते हैं,
सर्वशक्तिमान ईश्वर कितना महान है,
जिन्होंने सब कुछ बनाया।
