I am the Indian Ocean
Surge of my waves and their mystical themesEmbracing Bombay and Dar-es in holdWe all belong to the cradle of earthSame human civilization pervades us allGenerations of life in these lands were like wavesRising and falling and melting in time baobabs andBanyans stood witness to these cyclesBondage of slavery and foreigners yokeAre gone with the past and power now to peopleGandhiji and Nyerere’s nobility and soul strengthGot thy the freedom, and now you have a missionEnlightened youths, now you have to sweatFor making thy people prosperous and happyFor ye are the greatest hope, for this part of globe
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
