Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Manna bada ya na manna, hai vivad sada ka,
Khali kya, poorna kya hai, ek sagar-jaisi madiralaya.

Kya khoya kya paya jag mein,
Milte aur bichadte hain yahin.

Har sukh ki ghadi mein gham hai,
Har gham ki ghadi mein sukh hai.

Jeevan ka yahi hai kriya-kram,
Sukh-dukh ke khel mein hum sab rahe hain.

Vriksh hote nahi khade,
Kar ke khilte nahi hain phool.

Saaya bhi sangaath dene ko,
Bad ke sahaara se manakar, na de koi khad.

Tu na thakega kabhi,
Tu na thamega kabhi,
Tu na mudega kabhi.

Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,
Agnipath! Agnipath! Agnipath!

Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti,
Lehron se dar kar nauka paar nahi hoti.

Nanhein munhein ko dekhkar
Badan jalan nahi hoti,
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti.

Daag ache hain
Woh bataate hain
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti.
