When Someone Mocks You - Hindi Poem on Criticism

How to deal with criticism positively? What to do about the gossipmongers who spread rumors associated with you? We cannot stifle the levity of remarks hurled upon us, but we can always neglect the venomous talks, disregard the deriding mockery and turn a deaf ear to contemptuous ridicule, because fomenting hatred or falling in an abyss of depression is never a rational reaction.

Following is a Hindi poem on Criticism by Manas Madrecha that suggests that the best course of action is to relish the knowledge of how those shallow tattlers or backbiters are making you popular and to imbibe any underlying constructiveness of the criticism, with a benevolent heart.

जो पसे-पुश्त मेरी बात करें, उस पर क्या 'मानस' बात करूँ।
मेरी कीर्ति बढ़ाएँ जलनेवाले, मैं क्यों बीच में हाथ करूँ।।

अफवाओं को बहने दो, 'मानस' चर्चें रहने दो।
मेरे नएँ सत्य आएँ बाज़ार, जो कहते हैं कहने दो।।

आगबबूला मत हो 'मानस', टीका टिप्पणी भ्रान्ति।
सुनी चीज़ हर सत्य नहीं, त्याग मत स्व-शांति।।

जब कोई ताने मारें, मुस्का 'मानस' खुश होकर।
फल से लबालब पेड़ पर, ही फेकें जाते पत्थर।।

ज़मानें का क्या हैं 'मानस', कभी संग तो कभी खिलाफ़।
हर द्वेषी को करके माफ़, रख उर निर्मल उज्जवल साफ़।।

Transliteration into English:

Jab Koi Taane Maaren

Jo pase-pusht meri baat kare, us par kya 'Manas' baat karu,
Meri kirti badhaaye jalnewaale, main kyu beech haath karu...

Afwaao ko behne do, 'Manas' charche rehne do,
Mere nayen satya aaye baazaar, jo kehte hain kehne do...

Aagbabulaa mat ho 'Manas', teeka tippani bhraanti,
Suni chiz har satya nahi, tyaag mat swa-shanti...

Zamaane ka kya hain 'Manas', kabhi sang toh kabhi khilaaf,
Har dweshi ko karke maaf, rakh ur nirmal ujjwal saaf...

Jab koi maare taane, muskaa 'Manas' khush hokar,
Fal se labaalab ped par, hi feke jaate patthar...

Translation in English

When Someone Mocks You

What can I talk about the one who talks behind my back? My fame is soared by the envious ones; why should I intervene in between!

Let some rumors fly; let some of my gossips flow. It seems new truths of mine have come in the market; let them speak what they want to...

Don't get infuriated; the remarks and comments are delusions. Not every thing you hear is true; so don't abandon your inner peace...

When someone mocks you, be happy and grin. It is only at the tree laden with fruits, are the stones thrown...

What's the big deal about society, that at times is with and at times against you! By forgiving every hater, keep the heart pure, glowing and effulgent...
