The National Anthem For the Indian Children |
The land in which Chishti delivered the message of God
The garden in which Nanak sang the song of Tawhid of God
The land which the Tatars adopted as their homeland
For which people of Hijaz abandoned the Arabian wilderness
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland |
Whose wisdom had left the Greeks bewildered
Which gave knowledge and skill to the entire world
Whose soil had been endowed by God with the elixir’s effect
Which had filled the pocket of the Turks with diamonds
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland |
Which illuminated and established in the milky way again
The stars which had fallen from the sky of Persia
The House from which the world had heard Tawhid’s tune
From where the Holy Prophet had felt cool breeze
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland |
Whose denizens are Kaleems, whose mountains the Sinais are
Where the Prophet Nuh’s boat and its occupants had landed
The land whose elegance is the stairway to the sky
Living in whose environment is like living in Paradise
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland |
