The poem is deep, thought-provoking, and at the same time positive and inspiring too. Hope you like it.

Dekho zaraa theher ke
mera desh ro rahaa hai
Ghayal hai man kaa konaa
mera desh ro raha hai
mera desh.. mera desh..

Just pause and see,
My country is crying,
A corner of heart is wounded,
My country is crying,
My country, my country..

बह गया वो घर
बह गयीं घर में रखी तसवीरें
तस्वीरों में मुस्कुराते चेहरे बह गए
परिवार बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बह गयी वो प्रार्थना
श्रद्धा में झुके शीश बह गए
सुना है एक माँ का जब एक बच्चा बहा
माँ देख उसे कूद पड़ी नदिया में..

बह गयीं लोरियां
बच्चों की किलकारियां
पिता बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बहे करोड़ों आंसू हिन्दुस्तान के
करोड़ों आंसू है,
लेकिन करोड़ों हम भी हैं
चलो पूछें इन्हें

दोस्त बनें, बच्चे बनें किसी के
माँ बनें, पिता बनें
परिवार बनें किसी के
सूरज उगायें, उम्मीद जगाएं
चलो, एक सुबह बनाएं किसी की..
