Gulaal ka rang laal hai.. Gujiya ki mithaas bemisaal hai.. Sab geele hain pyaar ke paani mein.. Sab ghule hain Holi ki ravaani mein.. Rangon ke tyohar me sabhi rangon ki ho bharmar..

Rangon ki bahaar hai… Sab mein jhalakta pyaar hai.. Sab jhoom naacho gaao aaj “Holi” ka tyohaar hai.. Makki ki roti, Nimbu ka aachar, Suraj ki kirne, Khushiyo ki bahar, Chand ki chandi, Apno ka pyar, Mubarak ho aapko, HOLI ka tyohar!!
