Jaya Hey - Victory for ever to YOU...!!!
You The ruler of our minds, Our nation;
For you Our humble salutations.
You the custodian of so many;
You the guardian of India's destiny.
Through Punjab & Sindh, Gujrat & Maratha; Dravida, Utkala & Bengal;
across lofty cress & mellow leas of Vindhyas & Himalayas;
Your name awakens, one & all.
It rests upon the melodies of Yamuna & Ganga in harmony;
& swells the waves of the titanic sea, your blessing we seek.
Your praise replicates you, as the protector of Indian fate
Jaya hey, jaya hey, jaya hey;
Victory forever to you.
You calls us to unite day & night;
Hindus & Buddhists, Jains & Sikhs, Parsies & Muslims & Christians meek.
from east & west , through your thorn above;
we move to wave a garland of love.
You bond the heart of so many;
You the guardian of India's destiny.
Jaya hey jaya hey jaya hey;
Victory forever to you.
Through rugged paths that raise & fall;
Your pilgrim that traverse them all;
O charioteer, the roar of your wheels;
Echo day & night, on the trail we thread.
The clarion call of your sacred conch;
saves us from riot, despair & dread.
You the Journeymen's steadfast mate;
You the shield of India's fate.
Jaya hey, jaya hey, jaya hey;
Victory forever to You.
When the night was dark & utterly bleak;
when our land lay sick in a fevered swoon.
O loving Mother, you held us close & shielded us from time morose.
Your lowered but ever-watchful eyes,
so pure, so saint fully sanctified;
granted us your special boon.
You the remover of all agony;
you the guardian of our destiny.
Jaya hey, jaya hey, jaya hey;
Victory forever to you.
The darkness of the night is done;
now watch the glory of the raising sun.
Touching the brow of the eastern hills;
the song of birds, the auspecious breeze, pour their portion to forever seize our heart;
as India wakes to meet the sanctity of the blessed feet.
You the lord of mighty lords;
Your glory we shall forever applaud.
The remover of all agony; the guardian of our destiny.
Jaya hey, jaya hey, jaya hey;
Victory forever to you.
