Priyam Bharatam, a poem by Shri Chandrabhanu Tripathi. For all those who have ever been inspired by the beauty of the land, the beauty of the people, the beauty of the culture, the spirit of India. And for all those yet to fall in love…

Naturally lovely
Very delightful
Carrying to us rivers and stars
Charming and beautiful

On her forehead, the Himalaya mountain
At her feet, the sea
Beloved India, always beautiful

Receptacle of wealth, ever flowing
This India, equal with paradise
Whose fame, shining, a song among foreign lands
Beloved India, always to be worshipped

Many regions Many apparels
Many forms Many languages
Where we all are Indians
Beloved India, always to be protected

Where the people are wise, heroes in battles
Offering their bodies, They protect the country,
Where the People are of good conduct, fond of their own duty (dharma)
Beloved India, always to be praised

We bow to the land, to India,
The one supreme dharma, we always esteem,
For which we offer our wealth, our life,
Beloved India, always to be respected
