Scaling the great Mount Everest
Gushing Sutlej water in the Thar desert
Annexing the freedom in the midnight
Exploiting nature with all our might
Bringing the continents nearer through science
Uniting nations through U N with patience
Flying fast in the distant sky
Setting foot on the moon that shine
Distant dreams of yester day
Stark realities of this day!

What brought this lovely change?
Whose child is this happy range?

It is the fruit of sweat and toil
The harvest of diligence and intelligence
The product of perseverance and devotion
The crop of sincerity and dedication.

But myriad matters still distant dreams
Remain.. which are out of reach
Like universal brotherhood and peace
How to make it a radiant reality?

Well, through practice of values finer
Spreading the message loud and clear
Here and there and everywhere!
