I Love My Country India

I Love My Country India

As I slumber on my netted ‘Charpoy’, I hear the cooing of the cuckoo,

Entranced I hear the mesmerizing strains-- alas! It is hidden from view!

I hear the soul- stirring ‘adjan’ invocation, from the ancient mosque below,

My mind is up-lifted--- Hindus and Muslims worship the same God I know!


These nostalgic sounds fill me with rapture! They are music to my ear

As I love my beloved country with a passion profound-- my country India!

The intoxicating sweet scent of flowers wafted suddenly in the fresh air,

 It’s from jasmine, lotus or marigold-- or the delicate, many-hued, Oleander?


Such incredible, awe-inspiring beauty, are within its wide expansive fold!

In its encompassing bosom lie invaluable and sought-after treasures untold;

India’s exotic beauty is exhibited in her gushing rivers, and tall mountains,

 In the mysterious caverns and in its sparkling waterfalls and fountains.


The setting sun paints the snow peaks in its mellow blushing light,

The moon bathes in the tranquil lakes and then disappears in the night,

The long-necked swan flaps its wings, steps gingerly on the soft greenery,

The farmer with his plough, the two-yoked bullocks, enhance the scenery.


I love my country, with its varied religion, languages and its culture

Each has its importance and value, worth preserving, worth nurture.

I was born in India and my last heaving breath should be on this soil,

 As an Indian, my earning should be honest, from unflinching toil.


As I live for my country, India, I can sacrifice my life for it too,

My family includes Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Hindu

To protect my countrymen from dishonor, injustice and danger,

 Is my imperative duty - and I'll do the utmost within my power.
