Indian

I am a palimpsest of mankind; a cradle of civilization, mother of many religions and source of numerous philosophical thoughts. Many came to me; Kings, Conquerors, Tyrants, Philosophers and I assimilated them all. Since Yore I have been emanating the message of love, harmony and peaceful coexistence (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). I am high mountains and the deep sea. At one place I am fertile land and at other brazen desert. Here I am tiny brook and there I become a mighty river. I am cornucopia of culture. Though I speak thousands of dialects I understand the language of Love. Today I am harbinger of many human developments. I am the power house of world. I am on the moon. I am freedom. I am collective will and voice of a billion people. I am flux; I am unity. I am an Indian; I am India.

आँख ने कर लिया आँसुओं से वज़ू,
उब तो कर दो अता दीद का इक सबु,
आओ पर्दे से तुम आँख के रु-बॅ-रु,
चंद लम्हे मिलन, दो घड़ी गुफ्तगू,

अल्लाह हू, अल्लाह हूं

The english translation is given below.

You are the center of every search,
the world of fragrance and color,
in every heartbeat you are apparent
in all four corners you are present
You are in the surroundings

nothing is there to refutes you
you are the beloved, you are the handsome

You are the magnificence of Heaven,

You are the dignity of the surface,
You are the yearning desire of the two worlds.

The eyes have completed the ablution with tear,
so now grant the flak of your vision,
Come beyond the veil, in front of the eyes
Meet for few breaths, Converse for two seconds
Your pleasure links every where; from place to place, from Street to street
The One Alone, The One Alone
With No Partners
Is God, IS God
