Here are some of famous poems by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

1. Mhushala

Miralaya jane ko ghar se

Chalta hai peene wala

Kis path se jaun?

Asmanjas mein hai who bhola-bhaala

Alag-alag path batlaate sab,

Par main yah batlaata hun-

Raah pak tu ek chala chal,

Paa jayega mhushala

2. Agnipath

Tu na thakega kabhi,

Tu na thamega kabhi,

Tu na mudega kabhi,

Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,

Agnipath, agnipath, agnipath

3. Ruke Na Tu

Dhanush utha, prahaar kar

Tu sabse pehla vaar kar

Agni si dhhak-dhhak

Hiran si sajag-sajag

Singh si daha kar

Shankh si pukaar kar

Ruke na tu, thake na tu

Jhuke na tu, thame na tu

4. Vishwa Sara So Raha Hai

Hain vicharte swaon sunder,

Kintu inka sang tajkar,

Vyom-vyaapi shoonyata ka

Kaun saathi ho raha hai?

Vishwa saara so raha hai
