i wonder....

Sare jahaan se achha, hindustan hamaara
Above all [else] in the world, is our India


- first line of the patriotic song sare jahan se achha, written by Mohammad Iqbal around 19O5.

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Germany, Germany above all,
Above all [else] in the world,


- first line of the patriotic song Das Lied der Deutschen, written by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1841.
