Having lived in hibernation in your own world surrounded by placenta,
You step out of your mom's womb ready to face the cosmic reality
Of the whole universe
Experiencing the first breath of air in your lungs, you cried out with
A loud shriek calling the world upon to welcome you
Your parent holds you with full of joys keeping your little hands to their hearts
Their eyes filled with tears of happiness, embrace you tightly
The birth of you begins the birth of the nation
Feeding the milk in your mom's breast, your curious eyes look towards
The far horizon of the sky stretching away from you with endless expanse
The silent wind around you carry a message," My dear child as you grow,
One day, you will know the world "
Your eyes sparkling with innocence, stare at your mom who gives you tender care
Your inquisitiveness led her restless
Singing your favorite lullaby, she sees you gradually growing up
With full of vigor, hopes and aspirations
With your countless curious questions everyday, she observe your power of
Understanding the world around you
Slowly your empty mind is filled with facts and figures of being a mortal being
Your pure and fragile body is gradually consumed by the whims
And power of materialism
In your long journey to life, your destiny waits for you anxiously
Oh! My sweet child! Wake up from your dream
For the sun will set soon
The dusk will take away your life
Before it is too late, bring the dawn of the new civilization
Amidst hypocrisy and illusions, define a new era where a new mind establishes
With your first step on earth, let the beginning of the New World start
