saat rang satranga mela, badranga sa pada jhmela
saat rang satranga mela, badranga sa pada jhmela
gira gagan se khajur ne jhela
sukh dukh pakdam pakdi khela
haye ek rang duniyo ka nirala, ek rang agyani
rang rang me hod lagi hai, rang rangi manmani

desh mera rang rez ye babu
ghat ghat yaha ghatta jadu

ghat ghat yaha ghatta jadu

My land, a dyer, oh friend,
Magic unfolds at every bend.
My land, a dyer, oh friend.

My land, a dyer, oh friend,
Magic unfolds at every bend.
My land, a dyer, oh friend,
Magic unfolds at every bend.
Mustard seeds, mountains tall,
Shiva in pebbles, answering all.
A trifle, a storm, a tempest's call.
Oh, India, a master, standing tall.
India, a master, beyond compare,
A technicolor democracy everywhere.
A technicolor democracy, a vibrant flair.

Seven hues, a vibrant fair, a drab affair of despair,
Seven hues, a vibrant fair, a drab affair of despair.
Date palms weep from skies so fair,
Joy and sorrow, a playful snare.
One hue, the world's singular art, one hue, the ignorant heart.
Colors compete, a reckless start, colors dictate, tearing apart.

My land, a dyer, oh friend,
Magic unfolds at every bend.
My land, a dyer, oh friend,
Magic unfolds at every bend.

Dry eyes, a vision blurred, a dream obscured, unheard,
Tears are salty, a lesson learned, taste them, my dear, till the heart is stirred.
Dry eyes, a vision blurred, a dream obscured, unheard,
Tears are salty, a lesson learned, taste them, my dear, till the heart is stirred.
A dream obscured, my dear, a dream obscured, my dear,
A dream obscured, my dear, a dream obscured, my dear.
Dry eyes, yes, blurred sight, dry eyes, yes, blurred sight.
A dream obscured, my dear, a dream obscured, my dear.
My land, a dyer, oh friend.
