Swachh Bharat, Swasth Bharat (Bharathiya) Poem by Dr John Celes

Hygiene is prime for healthy life;
Take care of body, mind;
Depression shouldn't seize you in strife;
In everything, joy, find.

Be cautious doing risky jobs;
Do keep your body chaste;
Substance abuse will bring you sobs;
To earn, don't be in haste.

The air and water, soil have germ;
Preserve immunity;
Have healthy habits, be quite firm;
God cares for you amply.

Keep clean your home and neighbourhood;
Drink water purified;
Let smiles and joys afill childhood;
Lead life that's sanctified.

Do not accrue ill-gotten wealth;
Excess is always bad;
Improve your virtues and your health;
You will be never sad.

Confess your sins to Almighty;
And love your neighbours all;
The environs quite clean, must be;
Break each dividing wall.

Do not neglect the poor and ill;
Let hands be always clean;
Life is akin climbing a hill;
The peak has glorious scene.

Indians, clean up your minds and hearts;
Go purify your souls;
Howev'r you live, life ends, departs;
Check all your earthly roles.

Dedicated most lovingly to our
Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi
To encourage all Indians to fulfil
Mahatma Gandhiji's unfulfilled dream
Of a clean Indian
