64th Indian Independence Day

Unfurl the tricolor atop the mast, And let it fly high freely in the wind; Sixty-four years’ freedom has sped off fast; Our days of slavery are left behind! We Indians are so proud of our dear soil; Let’s work incessantly and march ahead; United stay and none can our plans foil; Let’s pray for freedom fighters who had died. Let patriotism come to the fore; Place duty before everything in life; Remove the selfishness from every door; We can get success despite every strife. Like peacocks, let us sprightly dance and sing; Our country is a glorious one indeed; Togetherness can harmony more bring; Let’s plant in every state, amity’s seed! Jai hind! Jai Bharat!
