Verse:
Camel trappings jingle, Harp strings sweetly tingle,
With a sweet voice mingle, Underneath the stars.
Singing, Memories are bringing,  
Temple bells are ringing: Calling me afar.
 
Chorus:
Hindustan,
Where we stopped to rest our tired caravan.
Hindustan,
Where the painted peacock proudly spread his fan.
Hindustan,
Where the purple sunbird flashed across the sand.
Hindustan,
Where I met her and the world began.
