dhili karo dhanush ki dori, tarakas ka kas kholo ,
kisane kaha, yuddh ki bela chali gayi, shaanti se bolo?
kisane kaha, aur mat bedho hriday vahri ke shar se,
bharo bhuvan ka aang kuankum se, kusum se, kesar se?
kuankum? lepooan kise? sunaooan kisako komal gan?
t dap raha aankhoan ke age bhookha hindustan .
phooloan ki rangin lahar par o utarane vale !
o reshami nagar ke vasi! o chhavi ke matavale!
sakal desh mean halahal hai, dilli mean hala hai,
dilli mean roshani, shesh bharat mean aandhiyala hai .
makhamal ke pardoan ke bahar, phooloan ke us par,
jyoan ka tyoan hai kh da, aj bhi maraghat-sa sansar .
vah sansar jahaan tak pahuanchi ab tak nahian kiran hai
jahaan kshitij hai shoony, abhi tak aanbar timir varan hai
dekh jahaan ka drishy aj bhi ant:sthal hilata hai
maan ko lajj vasan aur shishu ko n kshir milata hai
pooj raha hai jahaan chakit ho jan-jan dekh akaj
sat varsh ho gaye rah mean, ataka kahaan svaraj?
ataka kahaan svaraj? bol dilli! too kya kahati hai?
too rani ban gayi vedana janata kyoan sahati hai?
sabake bhagy daba rakhe haian kisane apane kar mean?
utari thi jo vibha, huee bandini bata kis ghar mean
samar shesh hai, yah prakash bandigrih se chhootega
aur nahian to tujh par papini! mahavajr tootega
samar shesh hai, us svaraj ko saty banana hoga
jisaka hai ye nyas use satvar pahuanchana hoga
dhara ke mag mean anek jo parvat khade hue haian
ganga ka path rok indr ke gaj jo ade hue haian
kah do unase jhuke agar to jag me yash paeange
a de rahe agar to airavat pattoan se bah jaaiange
samar shesh hai, janaganga ko khul kar laharane do
shikharoan ko doobane aur mukutoan ko bah jane do
patharili ooanchi zamin hai? to usako todeange
samatal pite bina samar ki bhoomi nahian chho deange
samar shesh hai, chalo jyotiyoan ke barasate tir
khand-khand ho gire vishamata ki kali janjir
samar shesh hai, abhi manuj bhakshi huankar rahe haian
gaandhi ka pi rudhir javahar par phuankar rahe haian
samar shesh hai, ahankar inaka harana baki hai
vrik ko dantahin, ahi ko nirvish karana baki hai
samar shesh hai, shapath dharm ki lana hai vah kal
vicharean abhay desh mean gaandhi aur javahar lal
timir putr ye dasyu kahian koee dushkand rachean na
savadhan ho khadi desh bhar mean gaandhi ki sena
bali dekar bhi bali! sneh ka yah mridu vrat sadho re
mandir au' masjid donoan par ek tar baandho re
samar shesh hai, nahian pap ka bhagi keval vyadh
jo tatasth haian, samay likhega unake bhi aparadh
