Surge of my waves and their mystical themes 
Embracing Bombay and Dar-es in hold 
We all belong to the cradle of earth 
Same human civilization pervades us all 
Generations of life in these lands were like waves 
Rising and falling and melting in time baobabs and 
Banyans stood witness to these cycles 
Bondage of slavery and foreigners yoke 
Are gone with the past and power now to people 
Gandhiji and Nyerere’s nobility and soul strength 
Got thy the freedom, and now you have a mission 
Enlightened youths, now you have to sweat 
For making thy people prosperous and happy 
For ye are the greatest hope, for this part of globe

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
