Lyrics:
Jana gaṇa mana adhināyaka jaya he
Bhārata bhāgya bidhātā
Pañjāba Sindhu Gujarāṭa Marāṭhā
Drābiḍa Utkala Baṅga
Bindhya Himācala Yamunā Gaṅgā
Ucchala jaladhi taraṅga
Taba śubha nāme jāge
Taba śubha āśiṣa māge
Gāhe taba jaya gāthā
Jana gaṇa maṅgala dāyaka jaya he
Bhārata bhāgya bidhāta
Jaya he jaya he jaya he
Jaya jaya jaya jaya he!
