To venture into the foreign lands he was excited,
To traipse through the peninsular land united.
To discover history reaching back 5th millennium,
To savour all the facilities premium.

Mountains, rivers, islands and plains full of strange creatures.

The highest peak of Mt. Everest chats with the tall painted blue.
The rivers of India are incredibly religious and sacred,
On their banks there is no aura of hatred.
Almost all civilization is on the coastal and northern plains,
On these lands, many a river drains.

Come to India, my friend, and with the monuments take a picture,
Celebrate Diwali and Holi madly with no strictures.
Sing our songs and dance to our tunes,
Give a visit to the mountains, rivers and sand dunes.
Explore cities and with different people have a blast.
Don our beautiful costumes and leave many aghast,
View all the achievements we have surpassed.

India believes, “Truth alone triumphs”,
Sometimes there is golden silence.
India says, “Thou art the rulers of the minds of every person.”
With violence, the situation would worsen.
India sings, “I bow to thee, mother.”
Between good and evil, good will always smother.
Look through the dictionary, dear visitor, look through the encyclopedia,
But the word next to ‘magical’ will always be India…
