I am Hindustan, timeless my name,
How can the world grasp my ancient claim?
My history, a tapestry of ages spun,
How can the world know what I have become?

The dharma of sages, the Sufis' belief,
In their hearts, my spirit finds sweet relief.
I am Hindustan, forever I stand,
I am Hindustan, across the land.

In kin and in stranger, my being is torn,
Though alive, by division, my soul is forlorn.
Divided, fragmented, my essence now bleeds,
Wounded, I suffer, fulfilling my needs.
My wounds are open, the blood starts to flow,
I am Hindustan, my spirit aglow.
I am Hindustan, forever I stand,
I am Hindustan, across the land.

Vande Mataram, a song to ignite,
Vande Mataram, bathed in pure light.
Vande Mataram, a prayer to arise,
Vande Mataram, beneath the skies.
Vande Mataram, our hearts ablaze,
Vande Mataram, through endless days.
