nirvaanonmukh aadarshon ke antim deep shikhoday!–
jinakee jyoti chhata ke kshan se plaavit aaj diganchal,–
gat aadarshon ka abhibhav hee maanav aatma kee jay,
at: paraajay aaj tumhaaree jay se chir lokojval!
maanav aatma ke prateek! aadarshon se tum oopar,
nij uddeshyon se mahaan, nij yash se vishad, chirantan;
siddh nahin, tum lok siddhi ke saadhak bane mahattar,
vijit aaj tum nar vareny, ganajan vijayee saadhaaran!
yug yug kee sanskrtiyon ka chun tumane saar sanaatan
nav sanskrti ka shilaanyaas karana chaaha bhav shubhakar,
saamraajyon ne thukara diya yugon ka vaibhav paahan–
padaaghaat se moh mukt ho gaya aaj jan antar!
dalit desh ke durdam neta, he dhruv, dheer, dhurandhar,
aatm shakti se diya jaati shav ko tumane jeevan bal;
vishv sabhyata ka hona tha nakhashikh nav roopaantar,
raam raajy ka svapn tumhaara hua na yon hee nishphal!
vikasit vyaktivaad ke moolyon ka vinaash tha nishchay,
vrddh vishv saamant kaal ka tha keval jad khandahar!
he bhaarat ke hrday! tumhaare saath aaj ni:sanshay
choorn ho gaya vigat saanskrtik hrday jagat ka jarjar!
gat sanskrtiyon ka aadarshon ka tha niyat paraabhav,
varg vyakti kee aatma par the saudh dhaam, jinake sthit;
tod yugon ke svarn paash ab mukt ho raha maanav,
jan maanavata kee bhav sanskrti aaj ho rahee nirmit!
kie prayog neeti satyon ke tumane jan jeevan par,
bhaavaadarsh na siddh kar sake saamoohik-jeevan-hit;
adhomool ashvatth vishv, shaakhaen sanskrtiyaan var,
vastu vibhav par hee janagan ka bhaav vibhav avalambit!
vastu saty ka karate bhee tum jag mein yadi aavaahan,
sab se pahale vimukh tumhaare hota nirdhan bhaarat;
madhy yugon kee naitikata mein poshit shoshit-janagan
bina bhaav-svapnon ko parakhe kab ho sakate jaagrat?
saphal tumhaara satyaanveshan, maanav satyaanveshak!
dharm, neeti ke maan achir sab, achir shaastr, darshan mat,
shaasan jan gan tantr achir-yug sthitiyaan jinakee preshak,
maanav gun, bhav roop naam hote parivartit yugapat!
poorn purush, vikasit maanav tum, jeevan siddh ahinsak,
mukt-hue-tum-mukt-hue-jan, he jag vandy mahaatman!
dekh rahe maanav bhavishy tum manashchakshu ban apalak,
dhany, tumhaare shree charanon se dhara aaj chir paavan!
mahatma jee ke prati
