Independence
60th year of independence today commence,
Having some development essence
59 years of enormous glory,
Tells their own victorious story.
Victory over death and trouble,
Unique and unmatchable
Journey from poverty to wealth,
Successful partially but not through stealth.
Journey from war to uprising peace,
Has been covered, and now its ease
Journey from ignorance to knowledge,
To spread its light, we now pledge
But still we touch our elders' feet,
As our culture never faces defeat.
We face regular accusitions,
And continuous competitions
But we continue to be victorious,
And as usual meritorious
Whether in communion,
Or without union.
We keep proceeding,
And resume developing
To again become the knowledge bird,
And spread our light to the whole of the world.
