lohe ke pe d hare hoange,
too gan prem ka gata chal,
nam hogi yah mitti zaroor,
aansoo ke kan barasata chal.
sisakiyoan aur chitkaroan se,
jitana bhi ho akash bhara,
kankaloan k ho dher,
khapparoan se chahe ho pati dhara .
asha ke svar ka bhar,
pavan ko lekin, lena hi hoga,
jivit sapanoan ke lie marg
murdoan ko dena hi hoga.
rango ke satoan ghat uan del,
yah aandhiyari rang jayegi,
oosha ko saty banane ko
javak nabh par chhitarata chal.
adarshoan se adarsh bhi de,
prajna prajna par toot rahi.
pratima pratima se l dati hai,
dharati ki kismat phoot rahi.
avartoan ka hai visham jal,
nirupay buddhi chakarati hai,
vijnan-yan par chadhi huee
sabhyata doobane jati hai.
jab-jab mastishk jayi hota,
sansar jnan se chalata hai,
shitalata ki hai rah hriday,
too yah sanvad sunata chal.
sooraj hai jag ka bujha-bujha,
chandrama malin-sa lagata hai,
sab ki koshish bekar huee,
alok n inaka jagata hai,
in malin grahoan ke pranoan mean
koee navin abha bhar de,
jadoogar! apane darpan par
ghisakar inako taja kar de.
dipak ke jalate pran,
divali tabhi suhavan hoti hai,
roshani jagath ko dene ko
apani asthiyaan jalata chal.
kya unhean dekh vismit hona,
jo haian alamast baharoan mean,
phooloan ko jo haian gooanth rahe
sone-chaandi ke taroan mean.
manavata ka too vipr!
gandh-chhaya ka adi pujari hai,
vedana-putr! too to keval
jalane bhar ka adhikari hai.
le b di khushi se utha,
sarovar mean jo hansata chaand mile,
darpan mean rachakar phool,
magar us ka bhi mol chukata chal.
kaya ki kitani dhoom-dham!
do roj chamak bujh jati hai;
chhaya piti piyush,
mrityu ke upar dhvaja u dati hai .
lene de jag ko use,
tal par jo kalahans machalata hai,
tera maral jal ke darpan
mean niche-niche chalata hai.
kanakabh dhool jhar jaegi,
ve rang kabhi u d jaeange,
saurabh hai keval sar, use
too sab ke lie jugata chal.
kya apani un se ho d,
amarata ki jinako pahachan nahian,
chhaya se parichay nahian,
gandh ke jag ka jin ko jnan nahian?
jo chatur chaand ka ras nicho d
pyaloan mean dhala karate haian,
bhatthiyaan chadhakar phooloan se
jo itr nikala karate haian.
ye bhi jaeange kabhi, magar,
adhi manushyatavaloan par,
jaise musakata aya hai,
vaise ab bhi musakata chal.
sabhyata-aang par kshat karal,
yah arth-manavoan ka bal hai,
ham rokar bharate use,
hamari aankhoan mean gangajal hai.
shooli par chadha masiha ko
ve phool nahian samate haian
ham shav ko jivit karane ko
chhayapur mean le jate haian.
bhiangi chaandaniyoan mean jita,
jo kathin dhoop mean marata hai,
ujiyali se pi dit nar ke
man mean godhooli basata chal.
yah dekh nayi lila unaki,
phir unane b da kamal kiya,
gaandhi ke lohoo se sare,
bharat-sagar ko lal kiya.
jo uthe ram, jo uthe krishna,
bharat ki mitti roti hai,
kya hua ki pyare gaandhi ki
yah lash n zinda hoti hai?
talavar marati jinhean,
baansuri unhean naya jivan deti,
jivani-shakti ke abhimani!
yah bhi kamal dikhalata chal.
dharati ke bhag hare hoange,
bharati amrit barasaegi,
din ki karal dahakata par
chaandani sushital chhaegi.
jvalamukhiyoan ke kanthoan mean
kalakanthi ka asan hoga,
jaladoan se lada gagan hoga,
phooloan se bhara bhuvan hoga.
bejan, yantr-virachit gooangi,
moorttiyaan ek din boleangi,
muanh khol-khol sab ke bhitar
shilpi! too jibh bithata chal.
