(Nana-ke-Bol) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

23 जनवरी को एक नाम ज़हन में आए

जो हमारे मन में देश भक्ति जगाए

सुभाष चन्द्र बोस के जन्म दिवस पर

उनकी क़ुरबानी की याद दिलाए ।

‘अंग्रेज़ो की नाइंसाफी सहने को अपराध बता कर”

सैनिक विरोध जगाने वाले

अंग्रेजों के विरुद्ध बर्मा में

‘आज़ाद-हिन्द’ फौज बनाने वाले

‘तुम मुझे खून दो, मैं तुम्हे आज़ादी दूंगा’ के नारे से

दुशमन की नींव हिलाने वाले

सब धर्मों का आदर कर, सहगल, ढिलन, शाहनवाज़ के संग

देश भक्ति जगाने वाले

सुभाष चन्द्र बोस को ‘नेता जी’ के रूप में याद करें हम

आदर से प्रणाम करें हम ।
