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!
