कुछ करना है तो डटकर चल, थोड़ा दुनियां से हटकर चल।

लीक पर तो सभी चल लेते है, कभी इतिहास को पलटकर चल।

बिना काम के मुकाम कैसा, बिना मेहनत के दाम कैसा ?
जब तक ना हाँसिल हो मंज़िल, तो राह में, राही आराम कैसा?

अर्जुन सा, निशाना रख, मन में, ना कोई बहाना रख।
जो लक्ष्य सामने है, बस उसी पे अपना ठिकाना रख।

सोच मत, साकार कर, अपने कर्मो से प्यार कर।
मिलेंगा तेरी मेहनत का फल, किसी और का ना इंतज़ार कर।

The programme concluded with the national anthem.
