O India! Full of bravery and might,
On your roads,I see my future, bright.
Such beautiful, lovely, awesome sights,
And food that gets better with every bite.,
With mountains,valleys and deserts.,
your mystical beauty is uncensored,
Your mighty wars are remembered,
Oh, bless this beautiful land I’ve entered,
So many festivals I’ve enjoyed.
In those I get overjoyed !
With your deserts I’ve been spoiled,
And your roads are never void,
Every religion resides in your land,
Every valley and beach is grand !
Beautiful monuments withstand,
And bulky camels walk on your grainy sand,
Your rulers and kings are remembered,
And so are the invasions on this golden bird,
Everyone wanted this land that is revered.
About your history, many storied I’ve heard,
Soldiers that drank your water when in pain,
And proud rulers that ate your food in vain.,
Invadors that checked their gain,
And saints that stepped foot on your lane,
The beholder of Taj Mahal and Red fort,
With many railway stations and airports,
With lawyers and great courts,
The player of great sports,
I bow before you.
