The Song of the Nation

We sing the song today withal our pride For the nation who gave us our life, Let us forgive for a day all enmities And solely beclam their souls Who bled freedom for us to live and peacfully die. Let us unite today one nation not several states One religion not casteism, one culture not classism, Let us worship today one idol not millions we reverenced One language not parted, one trait not fallacious For those who bled freedom for us to bask and relish the daylight. We sing the song today withal our pride For those who sweated for us to gratify our hunger, Let us praise for a day with all dignity And give their life a day to live For those who ploughed and gave the nation its scenic greenary. Let us bestow with one individual not one amongst the crowd One voice not hollers, one vision not apathetic eyes, Let us preach today for one regime not unbiased politics One person not any gender, one love not any protagonist For those who honored our nation with medals and fame. We sing the song today withal our pride For those who penned us their creative literally works and arts, Let us pray a spiritual rebirth with all dedication And narrate their noble life For those who treasured our nation with poetries, stories and fine arts. Let us travel together with one destination and no bar From Kutch to Churra, from the Himalaya to Nicobar We are all martyrs, let us be blessed by the holy bathe in the Ganga And unite the masses with the spirit of the song of our nation For all those who deserve, let us salute for them hoisting the flag Our Pride, Our nation, India. Note: Dedicated to all the Indians. Happy Independence Day. (15th August, 2011)
