Gifted daughter of India, thou state mighty
Rewarded elite award, Bharat Ratna gaiety,
Replica of the éclat emperor, great Ashoka
Potent pedant, akin that intellect Chanukya.

Grand daughter of freedom fighter Mothilal
New India architect’s lassie lore Jawaharlal,
Woo wedding Feroz extols thine secularism
Two sons thy apt stalwarts in administration.

Projected Thou India, just East super force
Chief of South Asian Summit, to pat peace,
Elevated Delhi akin birds eye in thy regime
Thou tips Millennium Prime Minister fame.

Initiated Land Reforms for cute cultivation
Stopped starvation thy apt green revolution,
Enriched economy by bank nationalization
Abundant out put by rapid industrialization.

Hadest thou faith, in rid religious harmony
Thy brutal slaying rays inhuman testimony,
Exulted thou eternal light of elite fraternity
Exalted Star Twinkle in Guild of Almighty.
