Unfurling that vivid sense of pride,
Following ahead with unmatched stride.
Oh, what bliss these 76 long years have been,
Till this day, today makes each eye keen.
To lives lived before and the ones ahead,
That honour towards nation remains well said!
Pathways dressed set, parade awaiting turns,
To showcase the progress, each state yearns!
To unity, democracy and all that in between,
It's the day with heads held high, India to be seen.
From ideals we uphold to wonders we share,
This world, a big wide family to have and care.
From the fascinating state marvels,
To the precious journeys of regiment travels,
To the timeless mystique of heritage near,
A touch of elegance, victories ahead to steer.
Arousing to the anthem, 52 seconds of valour,
As the tricolour ascends, Here's presenting our finest armour!
