Hindusthan, our very own Motherland!

To us Hindus she is everything,

Our life and our very soul.

The holy abode she is

Where the Gods in all their magnanimity reside.

A Heaven for one and all she is,

A temple for our forefathers to abide.

Suckling her Little ones at her breast

Tender care upon them she showers.

O, she is truly a Garden of Love

Abounding with blossoming fruits and flowers.

She is our Might, she is our Pride,

She is our diamond mine.

Dare anyone try to shackle her,

We shall defend her with our life!

Is there not a fresh Kohinoor bloom for your braid each day? Here is The Bounteous One, Our very own Motherland, Why O, why did you push her away? O, why did your Motherly love of old wither away? O, so anguished is my soul! For she is now but a slave to others, Why O, why did you abandon her so, Answer me, I pray! O Glorious Goddess of Freedom, O Triumphant One, We salute you!

Hind, Our Beautiful Motherland!

Brought to life all the Great Ones she did---

The treasured Rigveda and Samaveda,

The knowledge and Poetry of the Upanishads

The age-old Gayatri Mantra,

And Sandhatri, The Goddess of Unity!

A Mother to Bharadwaj, Janak, Vasishtha,

Shuka, Sanaka and Shri Garga, she is.

A Mother to the whole clan of illustrious Sages, she is.

Learned Vyasa and Valmiki of Ramayana fame

Their first baby words learned

In the shelter of her bosom, they did.

Hailed “O, Mother, O Our Mother”

By Legendary Kings Nala, Raghu,

Rama and Dharmaraj, she is!

From her womb came forth,

Gargeyi, Vidula, Sita, Draupadi

And the Valiant Lakshmibai of Jhansi did.

She, who is revered by the Three Worlds,

The great Buddha, Chaitanya and Guru Nanak

Blessed by her milk she did!

Fearless Rana Pratap and Shivaji,

Banda Bairagi and Guru Gobindji---

Who gave birth to them, inspired them? -she did

A Mine of Scientific wisdom,

A Lotus of the fine Arts, She is.

Land of Pure Flowing Water,

And Fruit laden with sweet, syrupy juice, she is!

Such are the wonders born of her,

Born of her precious womb.

Why even for a second should our Mother Earth be a slave?

 This Eclipse, but for a moment it shall last!

Eternal is the Sun, eternal are the galaxies---

Soon, very soon, liberated and accomplished shall she be

As the Mighty Benefactor of the world!

Without beginning nor end am I, Inviolable am I.

Vanquish me? In this world no such enemy is born!

Resolutely, as the Upholder of Dharma,

Challenging very Death I charge into the battlefield.

A sword cannot slice me nor can fire burn me,    

Craven Death itself shall flee in fear of me!

And yet, O Foolish Foe,

By fear of Death you dare to scare me!

Fling me into the cage of a ferocious lion, you may---

Reduce him to a cowering servility, I will!

Fling me into the blaze of a roaring inferno, you may---

Remove it! For wrap myself with gentle coolness, I will.

Come! Bring on your mighty, skilled armed  Legion,

Bring on your weapons and missiles spewing deadly fire!

Ha! Like Lord Shiva consuming the poison Halahal,

Gulp down and digest all of you, I will

 The moon in the summer-night is smiling in the sky

The Snow-white stars are brightly shining too

The flowers in the garden of my home blossom

As the children water them in the evening ll 1 ll

All the members in my family have assembled

Atmosphere as happier than Vrindavan of Krishna

The beautiful, ideal and chaste youthfulness

of people is resonating all over the place ll 2 ll

Affections reigned in the hearts of young people

Spreading the fragrance of rich heritage and civilization

My home was a fragrant and heavenly tree which

people referred to as "abode of righteousness" ll 3 ll

I savored the food prepared by you

the taste of which was further enriched by your love

how we used to dine together

chatting and relaxing in calm moonlight ll 4 ll

how we listened to the stories of Sri Raam's exile

and those of Italy's quest for independence and unification

and the ballad of brave Tanaji

or those of Chittorgarh and Shanivaar-Vaada ll 5 ll

How was our beloved (land) orphaned and defiled

saddened by the slavery and poverty was our mother (land)

Saddened by her penury, how we

counselled the youth to alliviete her off her misery ll 6 ll

Ah!! that time spent in the company of beloved

that spendid moonlight brightening those beautiful nights

that heavenly desire to liberate the mother

And that firm resolve, I remember everything... ll 7 ll

The vows exchanged with the beloved

do you remember them, Oh Vahini *

"Will fight like Bajiprabhu" resolved the young men

"Will sacrifice like Padmini of Chittorgarh" resolved the ladies as well ll 8 ll

Blindly have we not made this resolve

But in the light of history and the laws of nature
Whatever is luminous and scorching
Have we purposefully held the robes of a sati in our hands ll 9 ll

It has been eight years, since then

and we have achieved so much

In spite of all those vows taken and fulfilment of some of them,

why does not the heart feel the joy ??? ll 10 ll

From Himalayas to Ocean, the nation has risen

have assumed the valor, giving up the stance of deprivation

The Yagna-pyre initiated is burning vigorously,

but so is the resolve of devotees.. ll 11 ll

Those who undertake responsibility of the Yagna's fulfilment,

are tested immedietely for their resolve

"For benefit of mankind and this planet

Who is ready to burn first in this pyre??" ll 12 ll

As soon as Sri Raam set up this open invitation

Our family rose with unflinching resolve

"Your holyness!!!" roared our kin

"this divine right belongs to us" ll 13 ll

For upliftment of righteousness, our sacrifice was decided

These words weren't uttered in childish manner

nor were we flinched by the prospects of torturous road ahead

our yoga of desire-less action continued unflinchiingly ll 14 ll

By all the vows exchanged with loved ones

We fulfilled them all today

In this raging fire, for the sake of liberation of mother,

We burnt ourselves and became immortal ll 15 ll

Oh Motherland! I have dedicated my intellect to you,
To you I have dedicated my oratory,
To you I have dedicated my new poem,
You have become the sole subject of my prose ll 16 ll

At your altar, have I sacrificed my friends

sacrificed the pleasures of youth, myself

Righteous is your cause and blessed by all gods

Serving you, I realized the supreme truth ll 17 ll

At your altar, I sacrificed my home, wealth and property

IN this raging fire did I sacrifice my new-born son and wife

At your altar, did my Elder brother go

the one who was embodiment of courage and dignity ll 18 ll

At your Altar, did my younger brother go as well;

Now, it is my turn....

Even if we were seven brothers in family

All of them would have been sacrificed at your Altar, oh Mother !!! ll 19 ll

India is mother to 300 million children

All of them are our brothers, truthful and motivated

our family, but a small drop in this vast ocean of humanity

Even if it dies out, our line will continue ll 20 ll

In spite of success and failure, Oh motherland,

our resolve still remains unbroken..

In this raging fire, for the sake of liberation of mother,

We burnt ourselves and became immortal ll 21ll

After saying this, dear Vahini,

Follow this divine pledge throughout your life

Just like the torturous penance of Parvati

Just like the burning resolve of rajput princess ll 22 ll

That luminous feminine strength
has not yet disappeared from Bharatbhumi

Prove these words, Oh brave lady

may your life be a guiding star for the rest ll 23 ll

I bid you good-bye, Oh divine lady,

This brother of your's is bowing in front of you, one last time

The affections and love shall remain in my heart forever;

ardently convey this message to my beloved (wife)... ll 24 ll

Blindly have we not made this resolve
But in the light of history and the laws of nature
Whatever is luminous and scorching
Have we purposefully held the robes of a sati in our hands ll 25 ll
