English Translation

Thou Art the Ruler of the Minds of All People, Dispenser of India's Destiny

Glory to thee, ruler of our hearts and of India's destiny!
Punjab, Sind, Gujrat, Maharashtra,
The land of the Dravids, Orissa, bengal,
The Vindhyas and Himalayas, the Jamuna
And the Ganges and the ceaseless waves of the Ocean
All arise at thy fair name and seek thy blessings,
Singing their hymn of praise to thee.
Glory to thee, Oh Goddess of India's fortune!
Hail, hail, hail to thee for ever!


Day and night thy call spreads over the land
And we hear thy voice of salvation,
Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains,
Parsees, Muslims and Christians
Come from East and West to the foot thy throne,
Singing their song of devotion to thee.
Oh glory to thee, who unites our hearts and gives us good fortune!
Hail, hail, hail to thee for ever!
