We brothers are twenty nine, sisters are seven;
Mother gave Tamil Nadu and Kerala south face;
Live in our mother's house, this is our heaven;
Behind them another brother Karnataka stays;
Eldest sister New Delhi is our guardian;
Andra Pradesh living rear south east side;
As if we are sitting under a mighty banyan;
Newly born Telangana staying with pride;
We always listen to her, anytime at any call;
Mother says you listen dear, thirty six my strength;
She is our mother's capital, we obey her all;
Smash the evil try ti touch your breadth and length.
Middle room is left for brother Madhya Pradesh;
Our little sisters known as Union Territories;
One side Chattisgarh and other Uttar Pradesh;
We are here to take care, mother never worries.
In the North, Jammu and Kashmir, he lives there;
Lakshadweep, Puducherry, also Chandigarh;
Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand are very near;
Dadra Nagar Haveli, Andaman and Nicobar;
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan are in north west.
With them other name is Daman and Diu;
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa are facing total west;
You are all our strength too, we all love you;
Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland live in the very east.
We are all our Mother's Pet, our mother is great;
Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura are also in that list;
We all in our mother's house, we are fortunate;
Assam and Meghalaya stay very close to them;
We are proud Indians, but are very straight.
Sikkim is in the north, West Bengal can claim;
We are not at all afraid of any sort of threat;
Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha live along side by side;
We are brave, we are bold, we are desperate;
World knows our mother as a friend, philosopher and guide;
We are your children mother, we are your states.
