In My Country, My Father!

Where the land is enriched by soldiers' graves,

And the great Indian ocean flutters its magnificent waves...

Where the blood of bravehearts gives pride to the sands,

And the tri-colour is always saluted by young hands.

In that country, my father, may patriotism never cease

And in THAT country, my father may prevail only peace!

Where every single infant has an innate zeal,

Serving his motherland may be his only feel!

Where every young mind is enlightened by valiant soldiers' blood

And have such a determination which can be washed by no flood!

In that country, my father, may there be happiness and health,

And in THAT country, my father may sacrifice and goodness, be the only wealth!

Where every young mind stands undeterred in every storm,

And be inspired enough, not to break any norm.

Where every young child helps the poor and needy,

Such should be the mentality, neither cruel nor greedy!

In that country, my father, may truth and honesty prevail,

And in THAT country, my father, may all say, "Hail, martyrs, hail!"

Where serving their motherland, be people's only goal,

And discouraging corruption, they may purify their soul!

Where patriotism and sacrifice lies in every fibre of our being,

Such is my country, as the world, even now, is seeing!

In MY country, my father, may the tricolor be fluttered by every boy and girl..

And in MY country, my father, may Patriotism keep shining like A pearl!

Keep shining like a pearl!
