Interpretation

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.

Thy name rouses the hearts of the Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat and Maratha, of Dravid, Orissa and Bengal.

It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Jumna and Ganges, and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Ocean.

They pray for thy Blessing and sing Thy praise, Thou dispenser of India's destiny.

Victory, Victory, Victory to Thee.
