Mother, I Bow To You! Poem by Ravikumar C.P.

Original Bengali Poem: Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya
Translation: C.P. Ravikumar

I bow to you, my motherland, where mighty rivers flow,
to the earth bountiful, where gold and silver grow,
to the mountains tall, where cool halcyon winds blow,
to forests where greenery is on every bough aglow...
Mother, to you I bow!
I bow to you, my motherland!

A clear white light illuminates your face
on which a lovely smile gently plays...
Your lilting voice, your divine grace
bring blessings to all, now and always...
Mother, to you I bow!
I bow to you, my motherland!
