Holding hands we walk,
Different yet equal, in pride.
I belong to一
A land where differences don’t divide,
But bind us together side by side.
In every corner, a song sung,
Different voices but heart is one.
We speak in languages, many,
But our hearts beat together in harmony.
For the wind might bend the tree
But tradition roots it firm and free.
A thread that ties up tight,
Through the change, the time
And the darkest night.
Adoration that crosses caste and creed,
Hearts full of love, a home where all belong.
From ancient times to days anew,
India’s togetherness is forever true.
Through years she’s stood so tall,
With open arms as she welcomes all.
Her festivals light up the depth of night,
Wiping out hardships and plight.
Oh my dear India,
With the same heart we beat,
And the same blood that flows,
The nights are dusky and the morning glows.
Here we stand, a billion strong,
Not only me, but we all belong
To India—united and will forever be
A beacon of endless light for the world to see.
