Makar Sankranti wishes in Hindi

इससे पहले की मकर संक्रांति की शाम हो जाए,
औरों की तरह मेरा संदेशा आम हो जाए,
सारे मोबाइल नेटवर्क जाम हो जाएं,
आप सभी को मकर संक्रांति की शुभ कामनाएं।
Hapyy Makar Sankranti 2021

तन में मस्ती, 
मान में उमंग,
देखकर सबका अपनापन,
गुड़ में जैसे मीठापन,
हो कर साथ हम उड़ाएंगे पतंग,
और भर लें आकाश में अपने रंग,
-Happy Makar Sankranti 2021

सूरज की राशि बदलेगी,
कुछ का नसीब बदलेगा,
यह साल का पहला पर्व होगा,
जब हम सब मिल कर खुशियाँ मनाएंगे –
हैप्पी मकर संक्रांति 2021

सपनों को लेकर मन में,
उड़ायेंगे पतंग आसमान में,
ऐसी भरेगी उड़ान मेरी पतंग,
जो भर देगी जीवन में खुशियों की तरंग।

काट ना सके कभी कोई पतंग आपकी,
टूटे ना कभी डोर आपके विश्वास की,
छू लो आप ज़िन्दगी की सारी कामयाबी,
जैसे पतंग छूती है ऊँचाइयाँ आसमान की
