Prayer in poetry

Mind Without Fear
-----------------

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up
    into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason
    has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

  --- Rabindranath Tagore.

Prasoon Joshi translated and interpreted this in Hindi and Rahman put the Hindi and Bangla lyrics to tune: Jagao Mere Des Ko - A.R Rahman, Suchi, Blaaze - Coke Studio @ MTV Season 3

Sung brilliantly by Suchi.
