CBSE · Class 10 · Hindi · Kshitij Poetry: Chhaya Mat ChhoonaWhat does the poet mean by 'Har chandrika mein chhipi ek raat krishna hai'?

This line translates to 'behind every bright moonlit night, there lies a dark night hidden.' Through this beautiful metaphor, the poet explains the universal law of nature and life: joy and sorrow are temporary and cyclical. Just as a dark night inevitably follows a bright moonlit night, periods of sorrow and struggle will naturally follow times of happiness. Understanding this truth helps humans remain balanced, patient, and resilient during difficult times.
