MERI BHAWNA I 18
Koi Bura Kaho Ya Achchha Lakshmi Aave Ya Jave; Lakhon Varsho(n) Tak Jee-oo(n) Ya Mrityu Aaj Hi Aa Jave. Athva Koi Kaisa Hi Bhaya
Ya Lalach Dene Aave; To Bhee Nyaya-Marg Se Mera Kabhee Na Pag Digne Pave.
Let men applaud me or upbraid, Let wealth come or depart; Whether I live for many long decades, Or death come just this day; Threats of evil, however strong, Seducements, corrupting with pelfMay none of these, at any time, Swerve me from the noble path!
