9. Bachchan's Madhushala, Main Jawaan Hoon

In 1954, when Bachchan ji landed in Mumbai after sailing for 18 days on his return journey from London, there was a Kavi Goshthi organized in his honour. He was asked to recite some poems, but he recited a fun parody instead, rhyming with the names of his most popular poems :-) such as -

मैं हूं बच्चन जी मस्ताना, लिखता हूँ मस्ती का गाना,

मैंने खोली है मधुशाला, जिसमें रहती है मधुबाला!

Then we also talk about Robert Browning’s “Rabbi Ben Ezra” and Hafeez Jalandhari’s “Abhi to main jawaan hoon” while talking about different stages of life.

Welcome to the 9th episode of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan's epic poetry - Madhushala (मधुशाला). We are covering verses 77,79,81,82,84. This is a podcast of Hindi Poems and Poets. First few episodes are dedicated to Madhushala and then we will read good poems from other poets. Please send your comments or let us know if you want any other poem to be read in this podcast.
