Bharat is my country Bharat is my country
Respect it, or else no entry
It is attacked by many vultures
Only to destroy its vast cultures
Each citizen fought back like a hero
Demolished all to the ground zero
Shivaji Maharaj’s mighty shrine
Brought a shiver down enemies spine
Jhansi Rani, brave and bold
Created history forever to be told
Subhash Chandra Bose, a leader true
Led the INA, with a spirit anew.
Bhagat Singh, a symbol of bravery
Fought for freedom from British slavery
Many mighty souls are gems of their own
Adorning the motherland with a crown
All their sacrifice didn’t go in vain
Liberated her from chains of pain
It’s the year 1947, 15th of August
The jubilation of freedom bursts with trust
Thus shines Bharat with mighty glory
Forever and ever Bharat is my country
