India of my dreams is bright and free,
A land of hope and harmony.
Where children laugh and rivers flow,
Unity and peace forever grow.
Fields of green and skies so blue,
Where justice stands, firm and true.
No one is hungry, no one in pain,
Equality shines through sunshine and rain.
On this Republic Day, I make this plea,
Let’s build the India we dream to see.
Together we rise, strong and proud,
India of my dreams, beneath freedom’s cloud.
