[edit] Lyrics

Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka Jaya He
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata
Panjaba Sindhu Gujarata Maratha
Dravida Utkala Banga
Vindhya Himachala Yamuna Ganga
Ucchala Jaladhi Taranga
Tava Shubha Name Jage
Tava Shubha Ashisha Mage
Gahe Tava Jaya Gadha
Jana Gana Mangaladayaka Jaya He
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata
Jaya He ! Jaya He ! Jaya He !
Jaya, Jaya, Jaya, Jaya He

[edit] English translation

You rule the minds of all people, and control India's future.
Your name brings joy to Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha. And also to Dravida and Orissa and Bengal. (These are regions in India)
It also echoes in the Vindhya and Himalayan hills, and mixes with the music of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers. It is also sung by waves of the sea.
We pray for your blessings and sing your praise. We look forward to your best wishes. And we wish "Victory" for you.
