One Vision Shining Bright in the World

Seventy-five years of steady determination
From humble soil a man of service evolved
In every bold step, a promise born anew
A dream for Bharat, a hope in skies so blue

You stood firmly where many looked away
Carving paths for a grand progress of a country
With hands that build, and a heart that sees
Bharat’s dynamic pulse in every cool breeze

Through trials harsh, through voices loud
You held your ground, you stood unbowed
From villages to cities, every heart to reach
You honestly sought to serve, to lead, to listen

Seva is your mantra; progress is your song
In fields of change and achievements you belong
You sow the seed of Bharat’s lead role in the world

To strength our next generation in every creed

May excellent health, courage, endurance be yours
May the years ahead be bright, strong, firm, and sure
At seventy-five, you are great with vision vast and wide

May you forever guide and bless us with grace and pride
