To the great country
We pay our homage
Let us all get together
And hear Bapu’s message
Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian
Remember you all are Indians
Love, peace and equality
Was his message to humanity
Hear no evil, see no evil
Speak nothing untrue
‘Sathyameva Jayathe’
Should be your motto too
No one’s high nor anyone low
Let all barriers of caste be thrown
Let us treat all mean as equals
Who are God’s creations
Like me and you
Little children though we are
Let us pledge to the country
With Satya and Ahimsa as our theme
That we will fulfil Bapu’s dream.
