Saare Jahan Se Achcha - The best of the world - INDIA

Saare Jahan Se Achcha - is one of the enduring patriotic poems of the Urdu language - written by Poet Mohammad Iqbal - in the year 1904. Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian cosmonaut, quoted the first line of the song in 1984 to describe to Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then Prime Minister of India) how India seemed - looking from the outer space.

Here's the translation in English:
Better than the entire world, is our Hindustan;
we are its nightingales of mirth, and it is our garden abode
Thogh in foreign lands we may reside, with our homeland our hearts abide,
Regard us also to be there, where exist our hearts
That mountain most high, neighbor to the skies;
it is our sentinel; it is our protector
In the lap of whose, play thousands of rivers;
gardens they sustain; the envy-of-the-heavens of ours
O waters of the Ganga mighty, do you recall the day
when on your banks, did land the caravan of ours
Religion does not teach us to harbour grudges between us
Indians we all are; India, our motherland
