Hindustan, Our Very Own Motherland! Poem by Swatantryaveer Savarkar

Hindustan, our very own Motherland!
To us Hindus she's life and our very soul.

Magnificent holy abode she is
Where indeed the Gods reside.
A Heaven for all mortals she is,
A temple for our forefathers to abide.

Suckling her little ones
Tender care upon them she showers.
Oh she is truly a garden of Love
Blossoming with fruits and flowers.

She is our might, she is our pride,
She is our diamond mine.
Dare anyone try to shackle her,
We shall defend her with our life!
