Jana gana mana adhai Nayak jay he
Bharat bhagya vidhata
Punjab sindh gujarat maratha
Daravid uchkal banga
Vindhya himachal yamuna gana
Utchhal jaldhi taranga
Tav shubh name jage
Tav shubh ashish mange
Gahe tav jay gatha
Jana gana mangal dayak jay he
Bharat bhagya vihata
Jaya he jaya he jaya he
Jaya, jaya, jaya, jaya he.

Translation

Thou art the rule of the minds of all people,
Thou Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts Of the Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha,
Of Dravid, Oriss and Bengal.
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
Mingles in the music of Jumna and Ganges,
And is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea,
They pray for thy blessing and sing They praise,
Thou Dispenser of India's destiny,
Victory, Victory, Victory to Thee.
