May the 60th year of India's Republic Day,
Revive in our hearts the pristine zeal;
Which inspired our souls to emerge as one,
To erase from our destiny the British seal.
May this auspicious occasion set at rest ,
Our turbulent minds and stormy past;
May we all become a single hand,
To firmly hold on to the nation’s mast.
May Pratibha, Hamid and Man Mohan Singh-
The highest triumvirate of the country's fate;
Become three faiths, like the national flag,
To end the era of spite, malice and hate.
Republic Day SMS, India 26th Jan 2010
