Chehre par muskaan chipka,
Man hi man rota hai."

8. Kadam Mila Kar Chalna Hoga by Atal ji

Ghire pralay ki ghor ghatayen,

Nij haathon mein haste haste,
Aag laga kar chalna hoga, 
Kadam mila kar chalna hoga."

Shabd hue vyarth,
Shanti bina khushiya hai baanjh."

Aao phir se diya jalayen."

Kinchit nahi bhaibeet main,
Kartavya path par jo bhi mila,
Yeh bhi sahi, wo bhi sahi,
Vardan nahi mangoonga,
Ho kuch bhi magar haar nahi manooga."

Ghaaton ke vyapar mein
Kshan-kshan ka hisaab loon
Yaa nidhi shesh lutaoon main?
Raah kaun si jaaon main?"

"Toote hue sapnon ki kaun sune siski,
Antar ki cheer vyatha palakon par thithki
Haar nahi maanoonga,
Raar nahi thanunga
Kaal ke kapaal pe likhta mitata hoon,
Geet naya gaata hoon."
