mera desh, mera vaatan
its essence remains in my heart
though we have long since been apart
derelict Mandir
divine essence lingers
serene beauty
lonely riverbank
Krishna plays flute
ethereal music
kamal naayan
heart strings pull
Radha blushes
vigour and valour
Ram raises his bowstring
aimed glory
worshipful devotees
mandir, mosque, gurdwara
India my India
eyes raised
every soul seeks blessing
many empty bowls
sweet panacea
ambrosia rains down
prayer answered
strong breeze
young plant bows
supple youth
strength beauty wisdom
Satyam Shivam Sundaram
divine truth
