Republic Day Poems by Class (Student-wise Collection)
Different ages require different emotions. A Class 3 student needs rhythm, while a college student needs depth. Choose the category that fits you best.
For Classes 1–3 (Simple & Rhythmic)
Younger children should focus on clarity and cuteness. This poem is easy to memorize.
देश का सिपाही हूँ,
बोलो मेरे संग,
जय हिंद! जय हिंद!
तीन रंग का झंडा प्यारा,
यह है देश हमारा न्यारा,
मिलजुल कर हम रहेंगे संग,
नहीं करेंगे कोई जंग।
For Classes 4–6 (Energy & Pride)
At this age, students can express more energy. This poem focuses on the tricolor and the soldiers.
गौतम और गांधी का देश,
यहाँ प्रेम की नदियाँ बहतीं,
बदलते नहीं हम अपना वेश।
आओ झुक कर करें सलाम,
जिनके हिस्से यह मुकाम आता है,
खुशनसीब होता है वो खून,
जो देश के काम आता है।
For Classes 7–10 (Duty & History)
High school students must touch upon the Constitution and our duties. This poem is perfect for a mature speech.
यह आत्मा का स्वाभिमान है,
जहाँ अधिकार कर्तव्य बनें,
वही भारत की पहचान है।
संविधान के पन्नों में,
हमने अपना भविष्य लिखा,
आओ मिलकर प्रण लें आज,
मिटा देंगे हर एक दुखद लिखा।
For College & Open Competitions (Viksit Bharat)
For university-level competitions (like those at Motilal Nehru College), judges look for modern relevance. This poem connects history with the future.
देश नहीं बदलता है,
देश तब बदलता है,
जब हर नागरिक साथ चलता है।
न जात-पात की बेड़ियाँ हों,
न नफरत की दीवारें,
विकसित भारत का सपना,
आओ हम मिलकर संवारें।

Very Short Republic Day Poems (2–4 Lines)
Perfect for social media status, introductions, or catchy slogans.
कोई पूछे कौन हो तो गर्व से कहेंगे भारतीय हैं हम।"

An Original Republic Day Poem (Exclusive 2026)
If you want to recite something that judges have never heard before, use this exclusive composition by the Sahityashala team.
उठो धरा के वीर सपूतों, फिर से नया निर्माण करो,
जन-जन के जीवन में फिर से, नई स्फूर्ति नव प्राण भरो।
सत्तर साल की इस यात्रा में, हमने बहुत कुछ पाया है,
चांद और मंगल पर भी, तिरंगा हमने फहराया है।
पर अभी जंग बाकी है दोस्तों, भूख और लाचारी से,
अभी लड़ना है हमको मिलकर, नफरत की बीमारी से।
गणतंत्र दिवस पर कसम ये खाओ,
भारत को विश्व गुरु बनाओ।
— Sahityashala Original
The Classics: Timeless Patriotic Verses
There is a unique power in the verses of our ancestors. If you are looking for traditional patriotic poems in Hindi, you cannot go wrong with the timeless words of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. These poems remind us that despite our differences, the soil of India binds us together.
Students interested in deeper literary structures should refer to our breakdown of Hindi poetry history and structure.
How to Perform & Win (Judges' Tips)
A great poem can fail if recited poorly. Here is how to ensure your delivery is impactful:
- Eye Contact: Do not just look at the paper. Look at the audience to build a connection.
- Voice Modulation: Raise your voice during lines about "Veerta" (bravery) and soften it during lines about "Shanti" (peace).
- Pause (Virama): Silence is powerful. Pause for 2 seconds after a heavy line to let it sink in.
- Body Language: Use hand gestures sparingly but firmly. Stand straight; your posture reflects the nation's pride.
Teachers' Corner: Selecting the Right Poem
Age Appropriateness: Ensure Class 1-3 students recite poems with simple Hindi vocabulary to avoid stumbling. Complexity should increase with age.
Time Management: Most competitions have a 3-minute limit. A 16-20 line poem recited with proper pauses fits this perfectly.
Patriotism vs. Politics: Stick to themes of national unity, history, and the constitution. Avoid controversial political statements in school settings.
Watch: Inspiration for Your Recitation
Visual learning is the fastest way to perfect your delivery. Watch these selected performances to understand voice modulation and expressions.
Must Watch: Atal Ji's "Kadam Milakar Chalna Hoga"
Powerful Tribute: "Koti Charan Badh Rahe"
A Note on Modern Patriotism
Patriotism isn't just about verses; it is about building the nation's future. For the students of Motilal Nehru College and beyond, understanding the economy is as important as understanding history. We urge all young readers to check our financial guide for Indian students to become economically independent citizens.
