Here is a poem from my schooldays. This is probably the only hindi poem I remember and because of its strong meaning, this is my favourite poem. The poem is "Shakti aur Kshama" by Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar'. The poem is a great lesson in diplomacy and human relations. Forgiveness of a weakling does not count. First have the power and capability to defeat the enemy, then only your offer of peace would carry weight. Virtues of forgiveness, kindness and tolerance are appreciated in society only if you first have the capacity to crush.
