In the quiet dawn where prayer flags flutter,
And the mountains hold the sky like a sacred promise,
Your Majesty’s wisdom has guided our footsteps
Like a river finding its way through stone.
You taught us that a nation’s heart
Beats not in gold nor power,
But in the happiness of its people –
In kindness, in harmony, in peace.
Through forests you walked with humility,
Through valleys you stood as a guardian,
A King who carried the nation
Not upon a throne, but within his heart.
Today, as we honour Your Majesty’s glorious 70 years,
We offer our gratitude like butter lamps at dusk—
Soft, sincere, unwavering in the wind.
May your days be blessed with serenity,
May your health be strong like the peaks of our land,
And may Bhutan forever glow
In the light of your enduring legacy.
La Gyalo. Tashi Delek, Your Majesty
