तिरंगे और वतन की मोहब्बत में डूबी कुछ चुनिंदा शायरियाँ।
- वतन की मिट्टी की खुशबू, हर सांस में बस जाए,
जब तक जिएं, आज़ादी का यह गीत गाते जाएं। - तिरंगे का रंग है निराला, इसमें छुपा है हर बलिदान,
इसकी शान में झुके न सिर, यही है हिंदुस्तान। - खून से सींची गई है यह आज़ादी की डाल,
इसकी हिफाज़त करना है हम सबका सवाल। - न झुकेगा सिर वतन का, न झुकेगी यह शान,
हर भारतीय के दिल में बसता है हिंदुस्तान। - आज़ादी यूं ही नहीं मिली, कीमत चुकाई है,
शहीदों की कुर्बानी ने यह आज़ादी दिलाई है। - वतन पे मर मिटने वालों का यही निशां होगा,
जब तक सूरज-चांद रहेगा, तिरंगा वहां होगा। - हर दिल में हो देशभक्ति, हर आंख में हो गर्व,
यही है सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि, यही है असली पर्व। - आज़ाद फिज़ा में सांस लेना, नसीब सबका नहीं,
जिन्होंने यह आज़ादी दी, उन्हें भूलना सही नहीं।
