अरुण यह मधुमय देश हमारा

Composed by जयशंकर प्रसाद

Original Hindi

अरुण यह मधुमय देश हमारा। जहाँ पहुँच अनजान क्षितिज को मिलता एक सहारा। सरस तामरस गर्भ विभा पर नाच रही तरुशिखा मनोहर। छिटका जीवन हरियाली पर मंगल कुंकुम सारा। अरुण यह मधुमय देश हमारा।

English Translation

This crimson, sweet land is ours. Where the unknown horizon, on reaching, Finds a refuge. On the glowing heart of a delightful lotus, The lovely tree-tops dance. Life's auspicious vermilion is scattered Over all the greenery. This crimson, sweet land is ours.

AI Echo (Hindi)

यह भूमि जहाँ सदियों के स्वर गूँजे, संस्कृति का अमृत कलश से फूटे। गेहूं के खेतों में किरणें मुस्कातीं, हर साँझ दिशाएं गीत सुनातीं। यहाँ हर पत्थर में कथा समाई, हर पग पर शांति की छाया छाई। नदियों का कलकल जीवन गाता, यह प्यारा देश हृदय में बस जाता।

AI Echo (English)

This land where centuries' echoes resound, Culture's nectar from the urn profound. In wheat fields, sunbeams gently smile, Every evening, directions sing a while. Here in every stone, a tale resides, On every step, peace's shadow glides. The rivers' murmur sings life's song, This dear land in the heart belongs.
