"Jana Gana Mana" (जन-गण-मन) is the title for the national anthem of India. In 1911, it was composed and originally written in Bengali by popular Indic poet and artist Rabindranath Tagore—the same author for the Bangladeshi anthem "Amar Shonar Bangla".[1] Originally a five-verse Brahmo hymn in Bengali called "Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata", in January 1950, only the first verse was made to be officially part of the national anthem of India per the Constituent Assembly.[2][3] In addition, the lyrics now contain many words of Sanskrit origin.[4]

जन-गण-मन अधिनायक जय हे,
भारत भाग्य विधाता!
पंजाब-सिन्ध-गुजरात-मराठा,
द्रविड-उत्कल-बङ्ग
विंध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा, उच्छल जलधि तरंग
तब शुभ नामे जागे,
तब शुभ आशिष मांगे
गाहे तब जय गाथा।
जन-गण-मंगलदायक जय हे,
भारत भाग्य विधाता!
जय हे! जय हे! जय हे!
जय जय जय जय हे![5]

Jana gaṇa maṁgala-dāyaka jaya hē,
Bhārata bhāgya vidhātā.
Jaya hē, Jaya hē, Jaya hē,
jaya jaya jaya jaya hē.

English translation[change | change source]

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Odisha
and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of Vindhya and the
Himalayas,
Mingles in the music of Ganga and Yamuna
and is chanted by
The waves of the Indian sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.[6]
