Meaning: The great Himalayan peak is ours; is there another equal to it? The waters of the Ganges are like none other;what can compare with these?

The ancient Upanishads are our texts; where in the world can you see their equal? The golden bright Bharat is our land; let us celebrate it, this unique land of ours.

This country that's seen great warriors and sages, Home of wonderful music and all that is beautiful,

The land of the birth of ancient wisdom and the grace of Lord Buddha, This Bharat of antiquity has no equal; let's sing its praises.

We won't fear tribulation; we will not give up and live in poverty We will honor any work that advances our lot, we won't go a-begging, in this land of ours.

This is a land of milk and honey, where there's always plenty Let us remember and repeat this, of this great land of ours.
