SOME INDEPENDANCE DAY THOUGHTS
Sing of India - Hoary Mother
Land of ancient deeds of wonder
And her shrines, where people gather
In thousands, in great splendour

Think of India's ancient monarchs
How they ruled so well and wisely,
Kings - who were the country's bulwarks
Seeking peace, and fighting justly.

Forget all those days of serfdom
Full of ugly feuds and slaughters
Hail the rise and growth of Freedom
Mighty gift for our sons and daughters.

Bow to great men who have all won
Freedom's fight in glowing story
And to Gandhi, Indis's pet Son
Martyred on the eve of glory!

Work for Indis's fame and progress
To make her rich and truly great
With the lustre and the prowess
To be the all-time Welfare State

Pray for India and her millions
To always be in rectitude;
That shall bring her more than bullions
The Peace and Strength in certitude.

Take a cup of Indian Water,
When you in sickness cry and grind;
Drink, and feel well just soon after
With the name of Bharat, 'JAI HIND'

Gone are days of toil and tears
Born are days of Peace and Plenty;
Banish all doubts and all the fears
Secure in her teaming Bounty.

Love of People and of Learning
Fill the hearts of this Great Nation;
Pass this spirit and this yearning
From gen'ration to gen'ration!

JAI HIND

(I have already posted this under Technical but more appropriate here. But don't delete it there since this is my own composition!)

Cool,
Please post a good rendering of jayati jayati bhAratha mAthA.I understand this was composed by Sri ViswanAtha sAsthri for THE Independence day (15-08-1947).

Yeah, that's a good list. GNB was considered to have popularised it.
