‪#‎Haldwani‬ (हल्द्वानी)

Beautiful view of #Haldwani (हल्द्वानी) !

कनक धरा से कनक उगाते,

कनक धरा को शीश नवाते !

अथक परिश्रम करते पुरखे,

मातृभूमि का क़र्ज़ चुकाते !!

पाँव जला कर श्रम बिखराया,

धरती को उपजाऊ बनाया !

मेरे पुरखों ने सकल विश्व में,

हरितक्रांति का दीप जलाया !!

काश फिर वो मिलने कि वजह मिल जाएँ,
साथ वो बिताया वो पल मिल जाये,
चलो अपनी अपनी आँखें बंद कर लें,
क्या पता खाव्बों मैं गुजरा हुआ कल मिल जाएँ.
