स्वरचित कविता: 

"हिन्दी जन की भाषा है”

                                        1.   हिन्दू मुस्लिम सिक्ख इसाई                                      

           भारत में सब भाई-भाई

जुड़े रहें सब एक सूत्र में

ऐसी मेरी अभिलाषा है

यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है

       यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है.......

 

2.    अलग प्रान्त हैं अलग हैं बोली

पर हिन्दी, सबकी बड़ बोली

      इस भारत माँ की लोरी हो हिन्दी

ऐसी मेरी अभिलाषा है

       यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है

यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है......

 

3.   राजनीति और धर्म को भूलो,

बस ! बस, हिन्दी का दामन छू लो  

कहना सुनना सरल हो जाए

ऐसी मेरी अभिलाषा है

यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है

       यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है......

 

     4     अंग्रेजी से बैर नहीं है

       ऊर्दू फारसी भी गैर नहीं है

         पर परचम हिन्दी का ही फैले

ऐसी मेरी अभिलाषा है

यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है

यहाँ हिन्दी जन की भाषा है......
