60 years of Independence!

14th August 2007 – Happy Independence Day!
Here’s an excerpt of a very famous song that I found along with an art-work I designed to mark this year’s independence day.

Yeh Watn Tumhara Hai

This country is yours
Ye watn tumhara hai,
Tum ho pasban is ke,
Ye chaman tumhara hai,
Tum ho naghma-khuaaN is ke.

This country is yours -
you’re its defender.
This garden is yours -
you’re its carol.


Ye watan tumhara hai,
Tum ho pasban is ke.
This country is yours -
you’re its defender.

Iss chaman ke phoolon par,
Rang -o- aab tum se hai,
Iss zameen ka har zarrra,
Aftab tum se hai,
On the flowers of this garden -
color and life is because of you.
Every grain of this soil -
is brightened because of you.

Ye fiza tumharee hai,
behr-o-bar tumharey hain,
kehkeshan ke ye jaley,
rehguzar tumharey hain.
The air is yours,
Land and sea are yours.
This web of galaxy -
are your path-ways.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.
This country is yours -
you’re its defender.

Iss zameen kee mitti main,
khoon hai shaheedon ka,
arz-e-pak markaz hai,
qaum kee umeedon ka,
nazam-o-zabt ko apna,
meer-e- karwan jano,
waqt ke andhron mein,
apna aap pehchanno.
In the soil of this land -
there is blood of the martyrs.
The land of pure is the citadel -
of nation’s hopes.
Consider Forbearance and Discipline -
Your leader.
In the darkness of times -
Identify yourself.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.
This country is yours -
you’re its defender.

ye zameen muqaddas hai,
maan ke pyar kee soorat,
iss chaman mein tum sab ho,
barq-o-bar kee soorat,
dekhna gawana mut,
dolat-e-yaqeen logon,
ye watan amanat hai,
aur tum ameN logon.
This land is pure and holy -
in the form of mother’s love.
You’re a part of this garden -
in the form of children and worker.
Beware people! Don’t loose
the treasure of faith.
This country is a bail -
and you are the guardians.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.
This country is yours -
you’re its defender

meer-e-karwan ham thay,
rooh-e-karwan tum ho,
ham to sirf unwaN thay,
asl dastan tum ho,
nafraton ke darwazey
inn pe band hee rakhna,
iss watan ke parcham ko,
sar baland hee rakhna,
We were the leaders of the procession -
you’re the spirit of the procession.
We were just the topics -
you’re the actual elaboration.
Keep the doors of hatred closed.
Keep the flag of this country aloft and elevated.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke
ye chaman tumhara hai,
tum ho naghma-khwan is ke
This country is yours -
you’re its defender
This garden is yours -
you’re its carol

A national song by Nisar Bazmi, Mehdi Hasan.
