Free Birds We Are Poem by Harekrishna Meher

Free birds of fair firmament we are.
High waves of ocean we are.
Lofty peak of white Himalayas we are.
High waves of ocean we are. (0)

Uplift of humanity and nation
lies in our hands;
The noble path of human birth
verily runs with us.
To render dedicated service
for the well-being of the people,
we are warrior heroes with strong figures.
Free birds of fair firmament we are.
High waves of ocean we are. (1)

May the rosy mien of Sunrise
spread sweet smile with delight.
Dispelled may be the blots
of dense darkness from all the minds.
Let us adorn gleefully
the lutes of our lives
with nice colourful and fine songs.
Free birds of fair firmament we are,
High waves of ocean we are. (2)

May the fragrance of Indianness
fill the hearts of all.
May the inner sense of all
be exhilarated by this aromatic affluence.
We are one family,
the offspring of the Mother India,
having intimate fraternal affinity.
Free birds of fair firmament we are,
High waves of ocean we are. (3)
