कैसा हो स्कूल हमारा ?

जहां अंक सच सच बतलायें, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां प्रश्न हल तक पहुंचायें, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां न हो झूठ का दिखव्वा, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां न सूट-बूट का हव्वा, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा

कैसा हो स्कूल हमारा ?

जहां किताबें निर्भय बोलें, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
मन के पन्ने-पन्ने खोलें, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां न कोई बात छुपाये, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां न कोई दर्द दुखाये, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा

कैसा हो स्कूल हमारा ?

जहां न मन में मनमुटाव हो
जहां न चेहरों में तनाव हो
जहां न आंखों में दुराव हो
जहां न कोई भेदभाव हो
जहां फूल स्वाभाविक महके, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
जहां बालपन जी भर चहके, ऐसा हो स्कूल हमारा
