विस्तीर्णप्रतीरे असङ्ख्यनृकृते

हाहाःकारेऽपि, निःशब्दन् निःस्पृहम् --

भो गङ्गे कथम् नु गङ्गे वहस्यनिशम् ?

नैतिकताम् प्रस्खलिताम्

मानवताम् च अधोगताम् -

प्रेक्ष्यापि निर्लज्जम्--

वहसि कथम् ?

ज्ञानहीने अक्षररहिते,

लक्ष्यमाणेऽपि निरन्नजने

मौनञ्च कुतस्तन्- नेतृहीने ?

सहस्रवर्षैः ऐतिह्योदीरितैः च

मन्त्रैः पुनः नव्यभारतम् -

सुसाङ्ग्रामिकं, सर्वाग्रगमं

करोषि न किमर्थम् ?

व्यक्तौ ह्यदि स्याद् व्यक्तिवादः

समाजो भूयः व्यक्तितत्त्वहीनः -

कस्मात् न प्रध्वंससे स्रस्तजनान्

त्वं हि यदि जह्नुनन्दिनी,

तत् पितृत्वम् किल नाममात्रम्,

नो चेत् न प्राणेषु

प्रेरणा कथम् ?

उन्मत्तधराम् कुरुक्षेत्ररूपाम्

आलिङ्ग्य हि घोरं न निद्रायमाणम् -

भीष्मसमम् भारतप्रसूतम्

जागरयसि कथम्?
