कर्मवीर

Composed by अयोध्या सिंह उपाध्याय 'हरिऔध'

Original Hindi

देखकर बाधा विविध बहु विघ्न घबराते नहीं। रह भरोसे भाग्य के दुख भोग पछताते नहीं॥ काम कितना ही कठिन हो, किन्तु उकताते नहीं। भीड़ में चंचल बने जो वीर दिखलाते नहीं॥ हो गए एक आन में उनके बुरे दिन भी भले। सब जगह सब काल में वे ही मिले फूले-फले॥ चिलचिलाती धूप को जो चाँदनी देवें बना। काम पड़ने पर करे जो शेर का भी सामना॥ जो कि हँस-हँस के चबा लेते हैं लोहे का चना। है कठिन कुछ भी नहीं जिनके है जी में यह ठना॥ कोस कितने ही चले पर वे कभी थकते नहीं। कौन-सी है गाँठ जिसको खोल वे सकते नहीं॥

English Translation

Seeing diverse obstacles and many hurdles, they do not falter. Relying on fate, they do not regret suffering sorrow. However difficult the task, they never lose heart. Amidst the crowd, those heroes do not show restlessness. In an instant, their bad days turn good. Everywhere, in every age, only they thrive and prosper. Those who turn scorching sunlight into moonlight. Who, when duty calls, can face even a lion. Who cheerfully chew iron chickpeas (face tough challenges). Nothing is difficult for those whose resolve is firm. However many miles they walk, they never tire. Is there any knot that they cannot untie?

AI Echo (Hindi)

उनकी धुन में है शक्ति, उनकी लगन में ज्योति। हर विपदा को जीतकर, वे पाते हैं सद्गति॥ कभी न रुकना, कभी न थकना, यही है उनका प्रण। असंभव को संभव करना, है उनका जीवन धन॥ वे बनाते राह अपनी, चाहे काँटों से भरी हो। हर चुनौती को स्वीकारें, चाहे कितनी ही डरी हो॥ विजय तिलक माथे पर उनके, कर्म ही उनका मान। राष्ट्र के वे ही सच्चे नायक, यही है उनकी शान॥

In their resolve lies strength, in their devotion, light. Conquering every adversity, they attain true salvation. Never stopping, never tiring, this is their vow. To make the impossible possible, is their life's wealth. They carve their own path, even if it's full of thorns. They accept every challenge, no matter how daunting. The mark of victory on their forehead, action is their pride. They are the true heroes of the nation, this is their glory.
