On the 29th of August, we rise to cheer,
For a legend whose legacy we hold dear.
In the heart of India, his name shines bright,
Dhyan Chand, our hero, our guiding light.
With a stick in hand, he danced on the field,
A master of hockey, his prowess revealed.
Each move, a symphony, each goal, a song,
In his honor, we celebrate all day long.
National Sports Day, is a time to unite,
To honor the spirit that burns so bright.
From stadiums grand to humble grounds,
The echo of cheers in every town resounds.
Rashtriya Khel Divas, we chant with pride,
Celebrating the athletes who stand by our side.
In the sweat and the struggle, in every stride,
They carry the dreams of a nation wide.
From cricket pitches to wrestling rings,
To courts where the shuttle soars and sings.
On tracks where sprinters chase the wind,
And pools where swimmers’ journeys begin.
Every sport, a story, every game, a tale,
Of perseverance and passion that never fail.
In the spirit of Dhyan Chand, we find our way,
On this grand occasion, on National Sports Day.
For it’s more than medals, more than fame,
It’s the pursuit of excellence in every name.
It’s the lessons learned, the values shared,
The joy of victory, the pain that’s bared.
With every heartbeat, with every cheer,
We honor the athletes who persevere.
In their triumphs and trials, we see the flame,
Of a nation united, in sports’ great name.
So let’s lace our shoes, pick up the ball,
For today we celebrate them all.
From Dhyan Chand’s grace to every player’s fight,
National Sports Day is our beacon of light.
May this day inspire the young and old,
To chase their dreams, be brave and bold.
For in the arena of life, sports play a part,
In shaping character, in moulding the heart.
On Rashtriya Khel Divas, let’s pledge anew,
To uphold the spirit of sports, strong and true.
For in every game, in every play,
We honor Dhyan Chand and the sportsman’s way.
