“मैं उनका आदर्श, कहीं जो व्यथा न खोल सकेंगे,
पूछेगा जग; किंतु, पिता का नाम न बोल सकेंगे.
जिनका निखिल विश्व में कोई कहीं न अपना होगा,
मन में लिए उमंग जिन्हें चिर-काल कलपना होगा.
'मैं उनका आदर्श, किंतु, जो तनिक न घबरायेंगे,
निज चरित्र-बल से समाज मे पद-विशिष्ट पायेंगे,
सिंहासन ही नहीं, स्वर्ग भी उन्हें देख नत होगा,
धर्म हेतु धन-धाम लुटा देना जिनका व्रत होगा.
