Blessed, blessed, I touched the sand of my country
It made me awake to present as I was free
Arised from the fate I perceived for so long
I was true, I was right, I sang the revival song.
My heart that had extirpated was now discerning
The tears that did fall were of sorrows retreating
Lost soul cried for belonging, the home it was longing
Cherished words on a merry face, oh so smiling!
Joys and emotions unbounded in the humane horizon
Invigorate the ‘call of India’, my mother nation
Deep, spiritual love of resolute hearts terrified
Impulsion transmogrified where crumpled hopes lied.
It imbued my heart, my soul, my life and every other
Imbibed in me the content and pride of my mother
Long years after I saw here the dawn break upon,
Brought back the love & happiness that had forgone.
