Original Submission by Madhavi Rathi

कोस-कोस पर बदले पानी और चार कोस पर बानी

कोस-कोस पर बदले पानी और चार कोस पर बानी।

गुम न हो जाए पानी, और विस्मृत न हो जाए बानी।

लुप्त होती जा रही, भाषाई विविधता,

साथ लेते जा रही अपने, एक सभ्यता।

हे मानव, इस सांसारिक दौड़ में कहीं ठहरना,

पलटने, अपने पूर्वजों के ग्रंथ का पन्ना।

पीछे छूटी उस बोली में, सुनाकर कोई रचना,

अपने नस्ल के नन्हे अंकुर को, तू सींचना।

इस होड़ में, छोड़ न अपनी पहचान,

संजो कर अपनी भाषा को, कर अनुभव फिर वह अपनापन।

स्मरण रखना, लुप्त न हो जाए कोई और बानी।

जैसे हो रही है, "राजस्थानी"।

कोस-कोस पर बदले पानी और चार कोस पर बानी।

गुम न हो जाए पानी, और विस्मृत न हो जाए बानी।
