Navavarsh

gaya disambar, ab mausam hai navavarsh manaane ka,

sudh lenee hai mujhako, dil mein basane vaalon ka,

de doon shubhakaamanaen sabako, par chinta hai bas itanee

kaheen chhut na jae naam koee, mere chaahane vaalon ka.

navavarsh ka din hai yaaron, khushee manaane ka,

yaaron ke sang khaana-peena, naachane-gaane ka,

nahin bhoolana unako yaaron jo kaam tumhaare aate

mauka hai, unake chehare par muskaan phailaane ka.

beete saal ke dard ko bhool, aage badh jaana hai,

navavarsh mein apane jeevan ko sapanon se sajaana hai,

kar lo pratigya, saakaar karenge apane sapanon ko

navavarsh mein milegee saphalata bas kadam badhaana hai.

gila shikava chhod kar sabako gale lagaana hai,

apanee khushiyon mein apano ko bhool na jaana hai,

kitana bhee ho masharooph tum apane hee karmon mein

sab kaam ko chhod, rote hue bachchon ko hansaana hai.

is navavarsh mein ham ko kuchh sankalp uthaana hai,

nasha-mukt ho hamaare yuva unhen raah dikhaana hai,

betee bachao, betee padhao ka sandesh phailaana hai,

striyon ka karen sammaan ye bachchon ko samajhaana hai.
