Though Vande mataramis beautiful, it is in sanskrit and i bet most Indians do not understand what the verse means (unless they are reading an english or vernacular translation). How many can recite the song beyond:
"vande mataram
sujalam suphalam malayaja sheetalam
sashya shyamalam mataram"
Sare jahan sey accha is equally poetic and brings the best of Allama Iqbal. I will post the full poem of sarey jahan sey in my next post.
