(I have a Dream मार्टिन लूथर किंग जूनियर द्वारा 28 अगस्त 1963 को लिंकन मेमोरियल हॉल में दिया गया एक भाषण है। वह एक महान वक्ता, नागरिक अधिकार कार्यकर्ता और नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता भी थे। इस भाषण में उन्होंने नस्लीय भेदभाव के खिलाफ आवाज उठाई है और अमेरिका में नीग्रो के नागरिक और आर्थिक अधिकारों का आह्वान किया है। )
Welcoming delegates, martin says that the Nigros of america especially Albama are skill not free. they are sweltering in the furnace of injustice. America considered them a bad cheque. even they are deprived of citizenship rights, America is prosper bu they are pauper.
(प्रतिनिधियों का स्वागत करते हुए, मार्टिन का कहना है कि अमेरिका के निग्रो विशेष रूप से अल्बामा कौशल मुक्त नहीं हैं। वे अन्याय की भट्टी में तप रहे हैं। अमेरिका ने उन्हें बैड चेक माना। यहां तक कि वे नागरिकता के अधिकारों से वंचित हैं, अमेरिका समृद्ध है लेकिन वे कंगाल हैं। )
Therefore today, I have come here to raise a voice for them. we sell march ahead and we won't sit back till they get the right parallel to whites. Until the justice rolls down like water and they get a room in a hotel in the towns. and I request you to come ahead for them because all of our destiny is tied together.
(इसलिए आज मैं यहां उनके लिए आवाज उठाने आया हूं। हमलोग आगे बढ़ेंगे और हम तब तक पीछे नहीं हटेंगे जब तक उन्हें गोरों के समानांतर अधिकार नहीं मिल जाता। जब तक न्याय पानी की तरह बहने नहीं लग जाता और उन्हें कस्बों के एक होटल में कमरा नहीं मिल जाता। और मैं आपसे अनुरोध करता हूं कि आप उनके लिए आगे आएं क्योंकि हमारी सारी नियति एक साथ बंधी हुई है। )
In spite of frustration , Martin has a dream, he dreams that the son of slave's children and and the son of their Masters will be siting on the table of brotherhood together. He dreams that his children would be identified because of their character not of their skin color. he dream that the freedom will be ring from all the corners of America and there will be a day when all the blacks and whites will be able to live and dream together.
(निराशा के बावजूद, मार्टिन का एक सपना है, वह सपना देखता है कि दास के बच्चों का बेटा और उनके स्वामी का बेटा भाईचारे की मेज पर एक साथ बैठे होंगे। उनका सपना है कि उनके बच्चों की पहचान उनके चरित्र से होगी, न कि उनकी त्वचा के रंग से। उनका सपना है कि अमेरिका के कोने-कोने से आजादी की घंटी बज उठे और एक दिन ऐसा आएगा जब सभी अश्वेत और गोरे एक साथ रह सकेंगे और सपने देख सकेंगे। )
This is one of the greatest speech ever for the rights of Black. and he has successfully received the rhythm of his audience. it proved in a great orator and worked as an antidote for the injustice,tyranny and oppression against nigroes .
(यह अश्वेतों के अधिकारों के लिए अब तक के सबसे महान भाषणों में से एक है। और उन्होंने सफलतापूर्वक अपने दर्शकों की लय प्राप्त की है। यह एक महान वक्ता साबित हुआ और नीग्रो के खिलाफ अन्याय, अत्याचार और उत्पीड़न के लिए एक मारक के रूप में काम किया। )
