Ganges.

I have been flowing from time immemorial,

For me farmers along my plain can grow cereal,

From Gangotri, Rishikesh, Hardwar I flow till Bay of Bengal,

I feed Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal.

I provide wealth and create civilization,

I provide revenue for my nation,

Gaya to Dakhineshwar, Hardwar to Allahabad,

I am site of pilgrimage, witness of ballad.

I had been polluted by the people,

Yet the sins are washed in my ripple,

I had existed and will always exist,

I will nurture the life of the citizens of north-east.
