National Anthem
jana-gana-man adhinaya ka
jayahe Bharata-bhagya-vidhata
Punjaba-Smcdhu-Gujarat -Maratha-
Dravida-Utkala-Banga
Vindhya-Himachala-Yamuna-Ganga
Uchchhala-Jaladhi-taranga
Tava Subha name jage,
Tava subha 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.
The following is Tagore's English rendering of the stanza: Thou art the ruler
of the minds of all people, Dispenser of India's destiny. Thy name rouses the
hearts of the Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha.
Of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengal It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and
Himalayas, mingles in the music of the Jamuna, and the Ganges and is chan-ted
by the waves of the Indian Sea. They pray for the blessings and' sing thy praise.
