Into that heaven of Freedom

Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free
(and wisdom abounds);
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic (communal and caste) walls;

Where words come out from the depths of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

(not perfect but towards perfection);

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee

into ever widening thought and action;

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

- Rabindranath Tagore

(with reverence and due respect to the Master Poet, a few minor additions by me)
