English translation of BHU Kulgeet
So sweet serene, infinitely beautiful
This is the presiding center of all learning
Radiant Kashi, wonder of the three worlds
Treasure-Chest of Jnana, Dharma and Satya
Nesting on Ganga`s bank, center of all disciplines.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
No Recent work of brick and stone
Primordial design of divinity alone
Mansions of Vidya, center of all creation.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
Clear here is the doctrine pure
Truth first, then only one' self
Home of Harishchandra, Truth's testing ground.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
The voice of God in Vedic record
Constant Inspiration for soul-accord
Work-shop of Veda Vyasa, center freedom for Bhrahma Vidya
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
Find here the steps of freedom
Tread here the path of Dharma
Flaming trail Budha`s and Shankara`s center for philosopher-kings.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
Life-Giving waters of Varuna and Assi
Sustenance of Kabir and Tulsi
Fountainhead of eloquent speech and poetry.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
Music, Economics, other arts so many
Maths, Mining, Medicine and Chemistry
Fraternal forum of East and West, university in trust sense.
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)
Patriotism of Malviyaji
His intrepidity and energy
All in youthful manifestation, centre for men of action
(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

The first ever BHU Chorus Song
http://www.itbhu.ac.in/itbhu/chorus.shtml
The song was written by Prof. Charles A. King, the first Principal of Banaras Engineering College (BENCO). He established the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 1919 and was appointed as first Head of the Department.
IT BHU Chorus
HAND IN HAND WE GO TOGETHER,
HAND IN HAND WE ARE SINGING ALONG.
SIDE BY SIDE WE FACE THE MUSIC,
WIN OR LOSE WE ALWAYS SING A SONG.
WAVE THE FLAG, WE’LL KEEP IT FLYING,
TILL THE SUN SHINES O’ER THE LAND.
IF THE LUCK IS GOOD WE’LL ALWAYS SHARE THE CHEERS,
IF THE LUCK IS BAD, WE’LL GLADLY BEAR THE TEARS.
TILL THE DAY WE TURN THE CORNER,
WE’LL KEEP ON AS LONG AS WE ARE HAND IN HAND.
IF YOU KEEP ON SMILING AT THE RAINBOW,
YOU WILL NEVER MIND A SHOWER OF RAIN.
KEEP YOUR HEAD ON THE CLOUDS,
DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWDS.
ALWAYS KEEP THE SONG IN YOUR HEART,
AND SHOUT HIP-HIP HURRAH.
Composed by:
Prof. Charles. A. King
The First Principal of the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO)
