Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
this country stands, believing in you.
Our country stands, believing in you.
Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
this country stands, believing in you.
Our country stands, believing in you.
Flowers of different colors,
become a mixed garland when tied together.
States with different languages,
become our great India when united as one nation.
When flowers come together,
the fragrance is wonderful.
When we stand together,
our nation will flourish.
Without seeing divisions, in the spirit of unity,
let us sing our song.
To move forward quickly on the world stage,
let us pave the way.
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
this country stands, believing in you.
This country stands, believing in you.
A sculpture is not made by the stone alone,
it truly lies in the hands of the sculptor.
If one steps on it, it is just a stepping stone;
if he honors it, it becomes a god.
Teachers, you are just like sculptors,
and the students are in your hands.
Correct their mistakes and shape them,
and fill their hearts with goodness.
We draw a kolam (floor art) only after setting the dots,
just think about it!
By raising the standards of our schools,
transform our country!
Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Pillars of tomorrow, you are the future!
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
Young brother, placing all its trust in you,
this country stands, believing in you.
This country stands, believing in you.
