jab julm kisi jalim ka, sachai se takraye
jalim meri dhaara me, tinke ki tarah bah jaye
har baar raam ki jai ho
har baar raam ki jai ho, hare ravan abhimani
mano to main ganga maa hu
na mano to bahata paani
mano to main ganga maa hu
na mano to bahata paani
jai jai gange ganga maa
jai jai gange ganga maa
jai jai gange ganga maa
jai jai gange ganga maa

koi beta jab baho me, yun maa ki lash uthaye
jalim duniya ka mara, jab mere tat pe aaye
ek aag liye sine me, dil me toofan dabaye
aanshu ke in sholo me, mamta ki chita jalaye
is aag me jalkar kyu na
is aag me jalkar kyu na, baagi ho jaye jawani

When a tyrant's cruelty, clashes with truth's light,
In my current, the oppressor, like a straw, takes flight.
Victory to Ram, each time anew,
Victory to Ram, each time, pride's Ravana subdued.
Believe, and I am Mother Ganga, so grand,
Disbelieve, and I'm but flowing sand.
Believe, and I am Mother Ganga, so grand,
Disbelieve, and I'm but flowing sand.
Glory to Ganga, Mother divine,
Glory to Ganga, Mother divine,
Glory to Ganga, Mother divine,
Glory to Ganga, Mother divine.

When a son cradles in arms, a mother's cold frame,
Slain by a cruel world, to my shores they came.
With a fire within his chest, a tempest concealed,
In these tears of flames, a mother's pyre revealed.
Why not be consumed by this fire's grace?
Why not, in this fire, the youth's rebellious embrace?
