The National Anthem for the Indian Children

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM FOR THE INDIAN CHILDREN

The land in which Chisht ¹ delivered the message of God
The garden in which Nanak ² sang the song of Tawhid of God
The land which the Tatars³ adopted as their homeland
For which people of Hijaz abandoned the Arabian wilderness⁴
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland

Whose wisdom had left the Greeks bewildered
Which gave knowledge and skill to the entire world
Whose soil had been endowed by God with the elixir's effect ⁵
Which had filled the pocket of the Turks with diamonds ⁶
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland

Which illuminated and established in the milky way again
The stars which had fallen from the sky of Persia
The House from which the world had heard Tawhid's tune
From where the Holy Prophet had felt cool breeze ⁷
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland

Whose denizens are Kalims⁸, whose mountains the Sinais ⁹ are
Where the Prophet Nuh's boat and its occupants had landed ¹⁰
The land whose elegance is the stairway to the sky
Living in whose environment is like living in Paradise
That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland
