Welcome to Poem Do not stand at my grave and weep in Hindi. This poem seems to have been written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye.
The origin of this poem is disputed. Many have claimed about the authorship of this poem.
Dear Abby author Abigail Van Bauren researched the poem’s history and concluded in 1998 that Mary Elizabeth Frye, who lived in Baltimore at that time, had written this poem in 1932.
According to Van Bauren’s research, Frye had never written any poetry. But the plight of a German Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was staying with her and her husband, had inspired the poem.
Margaret Schwarzkopf was concerned about her mother, who was ill in Germany, but she had been warned not to return home because of increasing unrest in Germany.
When her mother died, the heartbroken young woman told Frye that she never had the chance to “stand by mother’s grave and shed a tear.” Frey, according to Van Bauren’s research, found that Frye wrote this verse on a brown paper shopping bag. Later she said that the words “just came to her and expressed what she felt about life and death.”
Mary Elizabeth Frye wrote other poems too, but this is her most famous poem – Do not stand at my grave and weep. This poem is a common reading for funerals. This poem demonstrated as a soothing power to bear loss. It became very popular, crossing national boundaries for use on bereavement cards and at funerals, regardless of race, religion or social status.

मेरी मजार पे खड़े मत रो और आँसू गिराओ, मैं वहाँ नहीं हूँ, मैं सोती नहीं हूँ। अनुवादक : रतिकान्त सिंह Original Poem in English: Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. To understand more about death, let us read some death quotes translated in Hindi. Quotes: 01. No one wants to die.
