O, My Countrymen Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

O, My countrymen
Friday,4th June 2021

Oh, rising sun
enlighten our nation
with glittering rays and beams
we sing in praise the national anthem

o rain, shower with
our fields and usher
in prosperity with grains
that shall feed our brethren

O morning
birds, chirp with singing
add melody and sweating
for my country's rising

let my countrymen pray for mercy
act with the spirit of humanity
pray for well being
and resolve to bring peace and stability

I long for my country's honour
and name to be remembered forever
in the world over
where sunsets never
