| जन गण मन अधिनायक जय हे भारत भाग्य विधाता । पंजाब सिंध गुजरात मराठा द्रविड़ उत्कल बंग। विंध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा, उच्छल जलधि तरंग। तव शुभ नामे जागे, तव शुभ आशिष मागे, गाहे तव जय गाथा । जन गण मंगलदायक जय हे, भारत भाग्य विधाता । जय हे, जय हे, जय हे, जय जय जय जय हे ॥ |
Jana-gana-mana-adhinayaka, jaya he Bharata-bhagya-vidhata. Punjab-Sindh-Gujarat-Maratha Dravida-Utkala-Banga Vindhya-Himachal-Yamuna-Ganga Uchchala-Jaladhi-taranga. Tava shubha name jage, Tava shubha asisa mage, Gahe tava jaya gatha, Jana-gana-mangala-dayaka jaya he Bharata-bhagya-vidhata. Jaya he, jaya he, jaya he, Jaya jaya jaya, jaya he! |
Tagore himself translated Jana-gana-mana into English which reads as follows:
Thou art the ruler of the hearts of all people,
Dispenser of India’s fortune.
Thy name rouses the hearts of the Punjab,
Sind, Gujarat, and Maratha,
Of the Dravida, and Odhisha and Bengal.
It echoes in the hills of Vindhyas and,
Himalayas, mingles in the music of the
Yamuna and the Ganges and is chanted by
the waves of the Indian sea.
We pray for your blessings,
and sing by your praise,
The saving of all people
waits in thy hand.
Thou dispenser of India’s fortune,
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
