Dancing vibrant hues Blink in shades of blue Peafowl, A majestic bird Our nation's pride Peacock - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Yellow sturdy physique On glimpsing him, the forest shrieks Bright black stripes on body regal Stands the royal bengal tiger Tiger - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Smirking amidst the fecund pond Pink beauty lotus lightens the land To glance her in the morning, Arises the sun gleaming Lotus - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! A lofty banyan tree deepens its roots free Broadens its spiritual hereditary Coerces to confront the world contemporary Banyan - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Camaflouged with dry leaves A dry leaf butterfly make us perceive Don't judge by the veneer Orange butterfly our seer Oak leaf - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Our mother earth, the queen Dons the elegant dress in green And the blue crown forever And so our place is prosperous ever Ever friendly weather - Pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Ancient books and poems classical songs and rhythms Valluvar, Vyasan, Kamban, Bharathi Tamil, Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi Poets, cultural treasures & languages - The prides of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!! Like different euphoric rivers Accumulating minerals and deliver We travel in a path discrete But at the same sea we meet With diverse faith and believes With the varied swaying leaves We still shine with glee As we affixed to a single big tree Named India Diversities - The pride of India Come, visit and enjoy All are welcome, yeah!!!
