तेरा ऋण चुकाना तो संभव है कहाँ
एक पैड़ लगाया तेरे नाम पे माँ

तुझे जैसा पाया वैसा ही रख सकूँ
लग जाऊँ मैं धरती के काम पे माँ

Planted a tree for #Plant4Mother campaign.

मैं आग्रह करता हूं कि आप सभी अपनी माँ के साथ मिलकर या उनके नाम पर एक पेड़ जरूर लगायें#एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम pic.twitter.com/zX2PGhRTpv
