मन के जीते जीत हे मन के हारे हार
हार गये जो बिन लड़े उनपर हे धिक्कार.
उनपर हे धिक्कार जो देखे ना सपना,
सपनो का अधिकार असल अधिकार हे अपना.
अपनो के खातीर हे करना कुछ आज हमे,
अजर अमर कर देना है स्वराज हमे.
तु माटी का लाल है कोई कंकर या धुल नहीं,
तु समय बदल के रख देगा इतिहास लिखेगा भूल नहीं.
तू भोर का पहला तारा है परिवर्तन का एक नारा है,
यह अंधकार कुछ पल का हे फिर सब कुछ तुम्हारा है.
(Poem from Movie Chhaava)
