Chitto jetha voi shunno, Uccho jetha shir
Gyan jetha mukto, jetha griher prachir
Apon prangon tole dibos shorbori
Bosudhare rakhe nai khondo khudro kori
Where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free, where the world has not been broken up
Into fragments by the tireless efforts of men
Jetha bakko ridoyer utsomukh hote
Ucchosia uthe, jetha nirbarito srote
Deshe deshe dishe dishe kormodhara dhai
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where the currents of tireless striving
Originate and flow without hindrance all over
Ojosro sohosro bidho choritarthotai
Jetha tuccho acharer morubalu rashi
Bicharer sroto poth fele nai grasi
Where the clear stream of reason and thoughts
Has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand
Of lowly habits and deeds
Where the velour is not divided in 1000 different streams
Where all the deeds, emotions are blissful given by you
Pourushere kore ni shotodha, nitto jetha
Tumi sorbo kormo chinta anonder neta
Nij hoste nirdoi aghat kori pita
Bharotere sei sorge koro jagorito...
My father, strike the sleeping India without mercy
So that she may awaken into such a heaven
(Hindi Part)
Jagaao mera des, Jagaao Mera des
Mann mein bhay ki boond bhi naa ho
Maatha ooncha lehraaye
Gyaan mukt aazaad le saanse
Dharti bant na paaye, ho.dharti bant na paaye
Sach ki kokh se shabd janam le
Karm ki dhaara kalkal, daude registaan cheer de
Nadi vichar ki chhal chhaal
Chauda seena ho abhimaan ka, naa ho tukde tukde
Bhaav soorile bandish mein ho aur soorile mukhde
Prahaar karo, tum prahaar karo
Jagaao mera des... Jagaao mera des
