The following is Tagore's English rendering of the stanza:


Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,

Dispenser of Indian's dentiny,

Thy name rouses the hearts of the Punjab,

Sind, Gujarat and Maratha,

Of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengal.

It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and

Himalayas, mingles in the music of the

Jamuna and the Ganges and is chanted

by the waves of the Indian Sea.

They pray for the blessings and sing thy

praise.

The saving of all people waits in thy

hand,

Thou dispenser of Indias destiny, Victory,

victory, victory to thee.

- Tagore.
