No Akbar, nor a Babur's reign,
No Akbar, nor Babur's stain,
No Shah Humayun here to claim,
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame.
This is the land of Kumaon's grace,
Our Kumaon, a sacred space.

No Akbar, nor a Babur's reign,
No Akbar, nor Babur's stain,
No Shah Humayun here to claim,
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame.
This is the land of Kumaon's grace,
Our Kumaon, a sacred space.

In Nainital, Naina Devi, Shiva awakes,
Shiva awakes in sacred lakes.
In Almora, Nanda Devi, at confluence's shore,
At confluence's shore, the blessings pour.
Gongolihat's Patal Bhuvaneshwar, a realm divine,
Chitai's Gol Dev, in every home a shrine.
At every step, a temple's grace,
Each dawn, I bow in this hallowed place.

No Akbar, nor Babur's reign,
No Shah Humayun, no Humayun's chain.
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame,
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame.
This is the land of Kumaon's grace,
Our Kumaon, a sacred space.

Nature bestowed beauty's treasures untold,
Treasures untold, in stories of old.
Waterfalls and lakes to soothe the soul,
To soothe the soul, make spirits whole.
Deodar, Chir, and Pine stand tall and free,
Nyoli, Gubhuti, Kafu, sing melodies.
In springtime, the Burans bloom bright,
Their splendor captivates my sight.

No Akbar, nor Babur's reign,
No Shah Humayun, no Humayun's chain.
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame,
This is the land of Kumaon's grace,
Our Kumaon, a sacred space.

The mountain's breath, a life so long,
A life so long, where we belong.
These dear sights, they beckon near,
They beckon near, to banish all fear.
Foolish are those who turn away,
Come, dwell with us, and here we'll stay,
To safeguard these treasures, with hearts so true,
With hearts so true, and skies so blue.
I am proud to be,
I am proud to be,
Of this land, Kumaon's hue.
Our Kumaon, forever true.

No Akbar, nor a Babur's reign,
No Akbar, nor Babur's stain,
No Shah Humayun, no Humayun's chain.
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame,
Here reign the princes of the heart's flame.
This is the land of Kumaon's grace,
Our Kumaon, a sacred space.
