My Country India

The golden bird of Asia
With a crown of Himalayas
Her feet washed by the Arabian
Is my country India
A land of philosophy and sacred lore
The vedic seers and the vedic core
A place of holy pilgrimage
Is my country India
Since ages her holy lands
Have held sages and saints alike
Birth place of a pure language
Is my country India
The mighty river Ganges
Flows through her varied lands
A unity in diversity 
Is my country India
Religion of every colour 
Flower on her breast
And are watered with tolerance
Is my country India
When her freedom faces dangers
Her children unite as one
A land of the origin of zero
Is my country India
