Class 7 Hindi - TELANGANA
Phool Aur Kaanta
Phool Aur Kaanta is a famous Hindi poem written by Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay 'Hariaudh' prescribed for Class 7 students under the Telangana State Board (TSBSE). The poem beautifully contrasts the lives of a flower and a thorn born from the same plant, yet treated very differently by nature and society. While the flower spreads fragrance, beauty, and joy to everyone, the thorn inflicts pain and pricks people. Through this imagery, the poet conveys a profound moral lesson: a person's true worth is determined not by their high birth or family background, but by their noble deeds, polite behavior, and sweet speech.
