Forever I bow to Thee, O loving Motherland!
      Thou, the land of Hindus, hast brought me up in happiness.
O great and blessed Holy Land! in thy cause
      May my body be sacrificed. Obeisance to thee, again and again! 1.

O Almighty! we, children of this Hindu Nation, bow to Thee in reverence .
For Thy work, we have girded up our loins; confer on us Thy blessings for its fulfilment.
Grant us invincible strength, and purity of character as would command the respect of the whole world;
And such knowledge that would make easy the thorny path we have voluntarily chosen. 2.

May we be inspired with the spirit of stern heroism, the sole and ultimate means
Of attaining the highest spiritual bliss, with the greatest temporal prosperity.
May intense and everlasting devotion to our Ideal ever inspire our hearts.
May our victorious organised power of action, by Thy grace, fully protect our Dharma,
And lead this Nation of ours, to the highest pinnacle of Glory. 3
