Who is the poet of ‘Hindi Rubaiyan’?

Jaynath 'Nalin'
Udaybhanu Hans
Dr. Chandra Trikha

The correct answer is: A. Jaynath ‘Nalin’.

Jaynath ‘Nalin’ is a Hindi poet who is best known for his rubaiyat. He was born in 1936 in the village of Nalinpur in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He started writing poetry at a young age and his first collection of poems, “Rubaiyat-e-Nalin”, was published in 1960. He has since published several more collections of poems, as well as a novel and a collection of short stories.

Nalin’s poetry is characterized by its simplicity and its use of everyday language. He often writes about love, loss, and the beauty of nature. His rubaiyat are particularly well-known for their wit and their philosophical insights.

Here is an example of Nalin’s rubaiyat:

The world is a stage,
And we are all actors.
Some play the role of the hero,
While others play the role of the villain.
But in the end,
We all play the role of the fool.

Here is another example:

Love is a flower,
That blooms in the heart.
It is a beautiful thing,
But it can also be a painful thing.
For love is a mystery,
And we can never fully understand it.

Nalin’s poetry has been translated into several languages and he is considered to be one of the most important Hindi poets of the 20th century.
