At the stroke of
midnight hour, a new nation was born;
What an emphatic
moment it was! A day too solemn to adorn!
When the soul of our
nation, long suppressed found utterance,
Exhorting us to lead
the nation with passion and perseverance;
In the air redolent
with grandeur of India’s success and failure,
Quickening the pulse
of every citizen with whiffs of pride and cheer;
It was the time to
put in assiduous efforts to ameliorate the nation,
For, we had endured
all pains & pleasures to face this grand situation;
A vision long
cherished in every heart was now going to materialize,
The future beckoning
us to ignite our minds, think, act and realise;
Our strengths and
weaknesses to take up a gamut of responsibilities,
To eradicate poverty,
illiteracy and inequality of opportunities;
The hearts were
heavy with the memories of hardships and sorrow,
The sacrifices we
made while struggling to see a better tomorrow;
The torch of freedom
lighted up the darkness of horrendous adversity,
Propelling us to a
glorious world upholding equity and fraternity;
Undeterred by the
tempests, the nation was determined to rise,
And herald an era
devoid of the litany of murk and malaise;
Let’s pledge to
dedicate ourselves to our eternal motherland,
And head together to the
world of truth, holding each other’s hand.
