Atal ji ki ye kavitaayen, aise hi pal, aise hi chaaON mein likhi gayi haiN, jab sunane waale aur sunaane waale meiN, tum aur maiN ki deewaareN TooT jaati hai, duniya ki saari dhaDkaNe simat kar ek dil meiN aa jaati haiN, aur kavi ke shaBd duniya ke har samwelan sheel insaan ke shaBD ban jaate haiN.
