The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Desh Mere
O country mine
I bow to your glory
Greater than your soil
What wealth can there
be
By your winds I’m
sustained
By your sunlight I’m
nurtured
You’re my paradise
And I am your bird
This is a patriot’s
plea
Where I have seen the
dawn’s beauty
There one day let my
life’s sun set
If the world remembers
those lives
That have made the
sacrifice
Then my name let it
never forget
O country mine
I bow to your glory
Greater than your soil
What wealth can there
be
By your winds I’m
sustained
By your sunlight I’m
nurtured
You’re my paradise
And I am your bird
Let coloured vestments
mother
Your form sanctify
Let your tricolour
Soar high above the
sky
If you say, for you I will
live
If you want my life I
will give
I’ll play the part for
me you conceive
Whether it is the
silken shawl
Or the soldier’s funeral
pall
I’ll wear whatever you
weave
O country mine
I bow to your glory
Greater than your soil
What wealth can there
be
By your winds I’m
sustained
By your sunlight I’m
nurtured
You’re my paradise
And I am your bird
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Desh Mere from Bhuj:
The Pride of India
o desh mere
teri shaan pe sadke
koyi dhan hai kya
teri dhool se badh ke
teri dhoop se raushan
teri hawa pe jinda
tu baag hai mera
main tera parinda
hai arz yeh deewane ki
jahan bhor suhani dekhi
ik roz wahin meri shaam ho
kabhi yaad kare jo
zamana
maati pe mar mit jaana
zikar mein shamil mera naam ho
o desh mere
teri shaan pe sadke
koyi dhan hai kya
teri dhool se badh ke
teri dhoop se raushan
teri hawa pe jinda
tu baag hai mera
main tera parinda
aanchal tera rahe maa
rang biranga
uncha aasman se
ho tera tiranga
jeene ki ijazat dede
ya hukum shahadat dede
manjoor humein jo bhi tu chune
resham ka ho vo dushala
ya kafan sipahi wala
odhenge hum jo bhi tu bune
o desh mere
teri shaan pe sadke
koyi dhan hai kya
teri dhool se badh ke
teri dhoop se raushan
teri hawa pe jinda
tu baag hai mera
main tera parinda
