Hindi Diwas

                Irony

We celebrate our festivals, 

Unfurl the flag of nation,

Feel pride to be Indian,

Yet to speak Hindi we are align.

With pride we honour national days,

But our tongue utter foreign words;

Proud to be Indian that we rejoice,

But Hindi Diwas fades from eyes.

Blend your heart and voice,

In Hindi, let our souls rejoice.

Let’s speak the tongue that binds us all,

Our Hindi — hear the nation's call.

For it’s the thread of unity,

That ties us in diversity.

Let's live as one and die one.

Let there be strives none.

Cherish the land, its language too,

Native words tell the emotion true,

Let Hindi Diwas not fade from eyes.

Let Hindi prevail under Indian skies.
