Wishing Shastriji a happy birthday
Small in stature, big in determination you were.
For "jai jawan jai Kisan "; hats off to you Sir.
Holds this true even today; in the present culture.
A true son of Mother India you were; n always will be so.
Your death, for India's development , was a big blow.
In your presence, different would have been the flow.
Respects deep, pay you I, o revered Lal Bahadur ;
For this determined answer to the enemy , you proved to be Bahadur.
This entire country salute you should, o great son-Lal Bahadur.
