chingari aaj bani jawala
jawala ambar tak ja lapki
jiski lapto ko chhukarke
ghata ki bhi aankhe tapki

bhujhi nahi uthi jyoti
pawan partap partiksha
kan kan me biti

bujhi nahi aisi aayi
fir jiwan jaga
fir se gunji ek rang desh sawadhi

A spark, today, became a blaze,
A fire that clawed the sky's embrace,
Whose licking flames, so fiercely bright,
Drew tears from clouds, in weeping light.

It did not die, but rose anew,
Awaiting wind's proud, potent hue,
In every atom, time unfurled,
A story whispered to the world.

It did not die, but found its way,
Awakening life to greet the day,
And once again, a nation's heart,
Resounded, playing a brand new art.
