जिस के सैनिक समरभूमि मे गाया करते गीता है
जहॉं खेत मे हल के नीचे खेला करती सीता है
जीवन का आदर्श जहॉं पर परमेश्वर का धाम है || 3 ||

jis ke sainik samar-bhoomi me, gaayaa karate geetaa hai
jahaaň khet me hal ke neeche, khelaa karati seetaa hai
jeevan kaa aadarsh jahaaň par, parameshvar kaa dhaam hai
Meaning
The soil of this country (Bhaarat) is like ‘chandan’, each village a ‘land of penance’. Each girl is an image of a Devi while each boy is ‘Ram’.
Each body is like a sacred mandir, every person benevolent, where lions became toys (the story of the little prince Bharat, who out of curiosity dared to open the jaw of a lion to count the teeth) and a cow is worshipped as a beloved mother. Here, dawn blows the ‘shankh’ every morning and dusk sings lullaby every evening.
Where one’s fortune is shaped through one’s actions, dedication to work is one’s sacred duty. Where the poets sing the saga of sacrifice and penance. The knowledge and wisdom of this land is like the water of Ganga - pure and perennial.
Whose soldiers chant the holy Bhagavad Geeta in the battlefield. Where, in a field, Seeta was found playing under a plough. Where the goal of human life is nothing less than God-realisation.
