Meena Pathak's Hindi Poem on Hindi Divas / कविता कोना

Meena Pathak ji's poem on Hindi Divas in her own handwriting

हिंदी से भारतीयता की पहचान 
 आओ करें मातृभाषा का सम्मान 

हिंदी में ९ रसों का श्रृंगार 
समृद्ध साहित्य इस में अपार 

हिंदी हमारी सभ्यता की सम्पदा 
देश की गौरव गाथा गूंजे सर्वदा 

हिंदी को व्यवहार में लाएं 
जन जन की इसे भाषा बनाएं 

करें सर्वत्र हिंदी का प्रसार 
यही हिंदी दिवस मनाने का आधार 

- मीना पाठक जी 


Editor's Note: I saw this poem on a Facebook Group and immediately sought permission to feature it here. The beauty of this poem is that it does not compare Hindi to any other language. There is no competition. It states the great things about the language, without putting another down. It is beautiful, rhythmic, perfect for the children, and very, very positive.

Our deep gratitude to Meena ji, for giving us permission to reproduce it here, and to Nipun Jain ji, for reaching out to her on our behalf.
