Vande Mataram
Sujalam suphalam malayaja-sitalam,
Sasya-syamalam mataram
Vande Mataram!
Subhra-jyotsnam pulakita-yaminim,
phulla-kusumita druma-dala-sobhinim,
Suhasinim sumadhura bhasinim,
Sukhadam varadam Mataram!
Vande Mataram!
Koti-Koti kantha kalakala ninada karale,
Koti-Koti bhujair dhrta kharakaravle,
Ke bole Ma tumi abale!
Bahubaladharinim namami tarinim,
Ripudala-varinim Mataram!
Vande Mataram!
Tumi Vidya, tumi dharma,
tumi hrdi, tumi marma,
tvam hi pranah sarire!
Bahute Tumi Ma sakti,
Hrdaye tumi Ma bhakti,
Tomarai pratima gadi mandire-mandire.
Vande Mataram!
Tvam hi Durga dasa-praharana-dharini,
kamala kamala-dala-viharini
Vani vidya-dayini,
Namami tvam namami kamalam,
Amalam atulam,
Sujalam Suphalam Mataram!
Vande Mataram!
Syamalam saralam susmitam bhusitam,
Dharanim bharanim Mataram!
Vande Mataram!
