ඉන්දීය ජාතික කවියෙකු වූ පණ්ඩිත් මාකන්ලාල් චතුර්වේදී විසින් රචිත, "පුෂ්ප් කී අභිලාශා" (Pushp Ki Abhilasha) යන කාව්යය ඉංග්රීසියට පරිවර්තනය කළ විට එය පහත පරිද්දෙන් වේ. It is not my desire to be weaved in the ornaments of a beautiful girl. It is not my desire to be weaved into a Lover’s garland and tempt a beloved. It is not my desire, O Hari, to adorn the funeral of a monarch. It is not my desire to be presented as offering to a goddess and rejoice at my good luck. O, Gardner, all I desire is That you will pluck me and throw me on that path On which our brave soldiers tread to sacrifice their lives for the motherland. දැන් ඔබට පැහැදිලියි "උඩඟු ලියන් ගොතා බඳින" ගීය ප්රබන්ධයට ඩෝල්ටන් ආශ්රය කොට ගත්තේ මේ කාව්ය රචනය බව. The beautiful poem 'Pushp ki Abhilaasha' is written by Maakhanlal Chaturvedi.. It is adopted from his Kavyasangrah 'Himtarangni'.. In this poem, he expressed the feelings of a flower who wants to lie down on the path of soldiers.. चाह नहीं मैं सुरबाला के गहनों में गूँथा जाऊँ चाह नहीं, प्रेमी-माला में बिंध प्यारी को ललचाऊँ चाह नहीं, सम्राटों के शव पर हे हरि, डाला जाऊँ चाह नहीं, देवों के सिर पर चढ़ूँ भाग्य पर इठलाऊँ मुझे तोड़ लेना वनमाली उस पथ पर देना तुम फेंक मातृभूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने जिस पर जावें वीर अनेक ।। In English letters Chah Nahin Mai Surbala Ke Gehnon Mein Guntha Jaaon. Chah Nahin Premi Mala Mein Bindh, Pyari Ko Lalchaon. Chah Nahin Samraton Ke Shav Par, He Hari Dala Jaaon. Chah Nahin Devon Ke Sar Par Chadhon, Bhagya Par Itraoon. Mujhey Tod Lena Banmali, Us Path Par Tum Dena Phaink, Matra Bhoomi Per Sheesh Chadhaney, Jis Path Jaayen Veer Anek.
