This is a humble tribute to the great nation of India on the eve of its 69th independence day (2016). It is a collaboration by 18 singers across the globe using the Smule Sing! Karaoke App on the original Mile Sur Mera Tumhara song, the national song of India.

Mile sur mera tumharaa, Thoo sur bane hamaraa... sur kee nadhiyaan
Har disha se behkee saagar mein milee. Baadalon ka roop leiker
Bharse halke halke... Mile sur mera tumharaa... thoo... sur bane
Hamaara... Mile sur mera tumhara...
Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj
Ek but baniye saayen taraj
Tera sur mile mere sur de naal
Milke bane ek nava surtaal
Mile sur mera tumharaa... tho sur bane hamaara
Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara mile jadein geet ashaanjo madhur tarano

Sur ka dariya bahte saagar me mile badlaan da roop leike barasan

Ninde swaramum ningalude swaramum otthucheiyum Namudeya swaramai
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti koroor koi ekshoor
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti koroor koi ekshoor

Sur ki nadiya har disha se behke saagar mein mile
Baadlo ka roop leke barse halke halke
Oh...Mile sur mera tumhara tho...sur bane hamara
Mile Sur mera tumhara
Tho sur bane hamara tho sur bane hamara
Tho sur bane hamaraContributed by :-Shri. Mitul Kansal,kansalmitul@gmail.com
