As guardians of mother earth
As soldiers of this great nation
We shall march forward
With courage and integrity
Ascend to great heights
With our heads held high
Yet remain bound
To your roots of wisdom
May you flourish and nourish
O ageless Wisdom Tree
Under your shade we shall toil
Under your shade we shall grow.
(hum hongey kaamyaab
hum hongey kaamyaab
hum hongey kaamyaab ek din
O mann mein hai vishwaas
pura hai vishwaas
hum hongey kaamyaab ek din)
In your seed lies Effort
In your root lies Faith
In your trunk lies Fortitude
In your twig lies Truth
In your leaf lies Humility
In your bloom lies Tolerance
In your fruit lies Success
And
In your spirit lies Excellence
May you flourish and nourish
O ageless Wisdom Tree
Under your shade we shall toil
Under your shade we shall grow.
(hogi shaanti chaaron aur
hogi shaanti chaaron aur
hogi shaanti chaaron aur ek din
O mann mein hai vishwaas
pura hai vishwaas
hum hongey kaamyaab ek din)
You’ll be the silent sentinel
Guiding our steps as we stumble
From you we’ll learn to cope
With stormy days and restless nights
You’ll be the torch
Igniting the light in our hearts
You’ll be the witness
To our victories and joys
May you flourish and nourish
O ageless Wisdom Tree
Under your shade we shall toil
Under your shade we shall grow.
(hum chalengey saath saath
daaley haathon mein haath
hum chalengey saath saath ek din
O mann mein hai vishwaas
pura hai vishwaas
hum hongey kaamyaab ek din…)
May you flourish and nourish
O ageless Wisdom Tree
Under your shade we shall toil
Under your shade we shall grow.
(We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
O deep in our hearts
We do believe
We shall overcome some day
We shall overcome some day)
