My voice booms, I will sing again
I am Himachal, will win again.
Hurt but not shaken
Worried but not beaten
With strong affection, will foster love again
I am Himachal, will win again.
Introspecting and the best is expected
No backing off, my patience is tested
Pride is high, will get my glory again
I am Himachal, will win again.
Will set up ravaged homes and nurture shattered dreams
Task is difficult but will crush the destruction regime
My warmth is comforting, will make friends again
I am Himachal, will win again.
Courage is rocklike and intentions sturdy
Resolve to restore nature is nothing but steady
My purpose is lofty, will follow a virtuous reign
I am Himachal, will win again.
