VANDE MATARAM: On our 60th anniversary of Independence

हुस्ने-वतन से बेहतर कोई हुस्न नहीं
मुहिब्बे-वतन से बड़ी कोई इबादत नहीं
इस बगिया की हिफ़ाज़त करना दोस्तो
बिना इसके तुम नहीं और हम नहीं
-मनीष मोदी

husne-vatan se behtar koii husn nahiin
muhibbe-vatan se badii koii ibaadat nahiin
is bagiyaa kii hifaazat karnaa dosto
binaa iske tum nahiin aur hum nahiin
-Manish Modi

There is no beauty greater than this great nation
There is no worship greater than patriotism
Look after this garden friends
For we are nothing without it

English translation by Manish Modi
