Mera Desh Mahan

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever - widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
"GEETANJALI" - RABINDERANATH TAGORE

The Original Version:
jahan nirbhay chit ho mastak ooncha
gyan ho badhaheen
jahan manuj manuj mein bhed nahi
ho vaani satyaseen
jahan poornata ke shikhar sparshhit bahu ho chir vistrit
jahan shudh gyan ki nirmal dhara maru mein na hoti vileen
Antaryami antar ko tum itna karo vishal,

jage, jage, jage, apna desh mahan
