Patriotic Poem for Kids in English: The Gift Of India by Sarojini Naidu
Is there ought you need that my hands withhold,
Rich gifts of raiment or grain or gold?
Lo ! I have flung to the East and the West
Priceless treasures torn from my breast,
And yielded the sons of my stricken womb
To the drum-beats of the duty, the sabers of doom.
Gathered like pearls in their alien graves
Silent they sleep by the Persian waves,
Scattered like shells on Egyptian sands,
They lie with pale brows and brave, broken hands,
they are strewn like blossoms mown down by chance
On the blood-brown meadows of Flanders and France.

Can ye measure the grief of the tears I weep
Or compass the woe of the watch I keep?
Or the pride that thrills thro’ my heart’s despair
And the hope that comforts the anguish of prayer?
And the far sad glorious vision I see
Of the torn red banners of victory?
when the terror and the tumult of hate shall cease
And life be refashioned on anvils of peace,
And your love shall offer memorial thanks
To the comrades who fought on the dauntless ranks,
And you honour the deeds of the dauntless ones,
Remember the blood of my martyred sons!
Patriotic Poem for Kids in English: Bande Mataram by Sri Aurobindo
Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving, Mother of might,
Mother free.
Glory of moonlight dreams
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease,
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother, I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands,
When the swords flash out in twice seventy million hands
And seventy millions voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call, Mother and Lord!
Thou who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foemen drave
Back from plain and sea
And shook herself free.

Stanza 2
Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou our heart, our soul, our breath,
Thou the love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother, lend thine ear.
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleams,
Dark of hue, O candid-fair
In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free.
Patriotic Poem for Kids in Hindi
Patriotic Poem for Kids in Hindi by Vandana Sharma
हम नन्हें-मुन्ने हैं बच्चे,
आजादी का मतलब नहीं है समझते।
इस दिन पर स्कूल में तिरंगा है फहराते,
गाकर अपना राष्ट्रगान फिर हम,
तिरंगे का सम्मान है करते,
कुछ देशभक्ति की झांकियों से
दर्शकों को मोहित है करते
हम नन्हें-मुन्ने हैं बच्चे,
आजादी का अर्थ सिर्फ यही है समझते।
वक्ता अपने भाषणों में,
न जाने क्या-क्या है कहते,
उनके अन्तिम शब्दों पर,
बस हम तो ताली है बजाते।
हम नन्हें-मुन्ने है बच्चे,
आजादी का अर्थ सिर्फ इतना ही है समझते।
विद्यालय में सभा की समाप्ति पर,
गुलदाना है बाँटा जाता,
भारत माता की जय के साथ,
स्कूल का अवकाश है हो जाता,
शिक्षकों का डाँट का डर,
इस दिन न हमको है सताता,
छुट्टी के बाद पतंगबाजी का,
लुफ्त बहुत ही है आता,
हम नन्हें-मुन्ने हैं बच्चे,
बस इतना ही है समझते,
आजादी के अवसर पर हम,
खुल कर बहुत ही मस्ती है करते।।
भारत माता की जय।
Patriotic Poem for Kids in Hindi 2 by Ramdhari Singh Dinakar
नमो, नमो, नमो।
नमो स्वतंत्र भारत की ध्वजा, नमो, नमो!
नमो नगाधिराज – शृंग की विहारिणी!
नमो अनंत सौख्य – शक्ति – शील – धारिणी!
प्रणय – प्रसारिणी, नमो अरिष्ट – वारिणी!
नमो मनुष्य की शुभेषणा – प्रचारिणी!
नवीन सूर्य की नई प्रभा, नमो, नमो!
हम न किसी का चाहते तनिक अहित, अपकार।
प्रेमी सकल जहान का भारतवर्ष उदार।
सत्य न्याय के हेतु, फहर-फहर ओ केतु
हम विचरेंगे देश-देश के बीच मिलन का सेतु
पवित्र सौम्य, शांति की शिखा, नमो, नमो!
तार-तार में हैं गुँथा ध्वजे, तुम्हारा त्याग!
दहक रही है आज भी, तुम में बलि की आग।
सेवक सैन्य कठोर, हम चालीस करोड़
कौन देख सकता कुभाव से ध्वजे, तुम्हारी ओर
करते तव जय गान, वीर हुए बलिदान,
अंगारों पर चला तुम्हें ले सारा हिंदुस्तान!
प्रताप की विभा, कृषानुजा, नमो, नमो!

Patriotic Poem for Kids in Hindi by Sajivan Mayank
आज तिरंगा लहराता है अपनी पूरी शान से।
हमें मिली आज़ादी वीर शहीदों के बलिदान से।।
आज़ादी के लिए हमारी लंबी चली लड़ाई थी।
लाखों लोगों ने प्राणों से कीमत बड़ी चुकाई थी।।
व्यापारी बनकर आए और छल से हम पर राज किया।
हमको आपस में लड़वाने की नीति अपनाई थी।।
हमने अपना गौरव पाया, अपने स्वाभिमान से।
हमें मिली आज़ादी वीर शहीदों के बलिदान से।।
गांधी, तिलक, सुभाष, जवाहर का प्यारा यह देश है।
जियो और जीने दो का सबको देता संदेश है।।
प्रहरी बनकर खड़ा हिमालय जिसके उत्तर द्वार पर।
हिंद महासागर दक्षिण में इसके लिए विशेष है।।
लगी गूँजने दसों दिशाएँ वीरों के यशगान से।
हमें मिली आज़ादी वीर शहीदों के बलिदान से।।
हमें हमारी मातृभूमि से इतना मिला दुलार है।
उसके आँचल की छैयाँ से छोटा ये संसार है।।
हम न कभी हिंसा के आगे अपना शीश झुकाएँगे।
सच पूछो तो पूरा विश्व हमारा ही परिवार है।।
विश्वशांति की चली हवाएँ अपने हिंदुस्तान से।
हमें मिली आज़ादी वीर शहीदों के बलिदान से।।

Mahatma Gandhi’s efforts to free India from British oppression inspired his yearning for Indian independence. He initiated the independence movement, rose through the ranks of the Indian National Congress to become its President, and was eventually named India’s first Prime Minister after the country gained independence. Because he enjoyed children, Nehru was given the moniker Chacha Nehru, and his birthday is celebrated as Children’s Day.

India has a long list of great freedom fighters who gave their lives and sweat to ensure our country’s independence.
