On 8th August 1942

India took a decision bold
The Brits,to quit India were told .
In 1947 achieved this we; which we today behold.

Our soldiers guard Her borders, amidst heat n cold.
Proved they have themselves brave n bold.
Or India, to Her enemies would have been sold.

Now protect Her, love n respect Her, we must, ten-fold.
Treasure Her territories, like one would, treasure gold.
And Her, as Nation one, carefully n painstaking hold.
