My Country
How can I thank you, my Lord,
For having given me a chance
To take birth on this holy land?
Though many perils it went through,
On earth, it’s a perfect heaven.
For the world, it’s a ‘Vishwa Guru’!
An abode of unity in diversity;
Unparalleled by any, in its divinity.
No wonder, for others it’s a university!
A land of long, ever flowing rivers;
Famous for its sages and seers.
Known for its sheer peacemongers!
Knows not, what deceit is …
Its philosophy is more humane.
‘Live and let live’ is in its every vein.
Manifested the path of non-violence;
It taught to the world the principle,
“Truth alone triumphs, not untruth”.
I’m proud to be an Indian!
