Translation of the poem in English : Better than all the world, is our India We are its nightingales and this is our garden That mountain most high; neighbor to the skies It is our sentinel; it is our protector A thousand rivers play in its lap, Gardens they sustain, the envy of the heavens is ours Faith does not teach us to harbor grudges between us We are all Indians and India is our homeland
