Diamond has a rigid structure due to strong covalent bond.
Graphite has a weak structure due to weak Vander waal's force.

Diamond is have crystalline form due to covalent bond that's why it is hard in nature.

I think diamond is the hardest and lamp black is soften.

Graphite is soften in nature because of its structure i.e. layers present in the graphite makes the graphite soften.

How the graphite is softest?

The molecular structure is different. Carbon atoms in graphite are bonded in layers with only weak covalent bonds holding the layers together. When you write with a pencil some of the layers detach from the pencil lead and attach to the paper. Carbon atoms in diamond are bonded in a stronger tetrahedron pattern.
