Love Thy Nation- Gurajada Apparao
Love thy nation
Develop some goodness
Wind up thy empty banter
Start some concrete help
Work in the path overflowing
With dairy and harvest
For food can build muscles
One with muscles is the man!
What good does it do to the nation
If people are starving and weak?
Learn all arts with zeal, fill with
Goods made within the country
Reach every country
Should sell your goods
Guy who does not fetch money
Would earn no fame or wealth
What help does it looking back?
There is little goodness in the past
Shed laziness and step forward
If you fall behind, you lie behind
Be jealous(?) only for education
Fight only in trade
Do not develop wasteful quarrels
Shoot the sword enmity away
Dont play humbug saying
You love your country most
Work towards something helpful
Show the people that you can!
The devil of jealousy has
Suck the country off its marrow
Learn to be united
Rejoicing in others' progress
Whither is that sinner happy
When weeps over others' wealth?
One who thinks of others' progress as his own,
That tactful person's progress is immeasurable
Cut short some selfishness
and help thy neighbor
Nation is not land
Nation is the people!
