gahre ghane andhere, raate hai kabse ghere
diwar jaisi raate, humko hai kabse ghere
par humne thani hai, subah to lani hai
dharti maa hum khate hai teri kasam
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram

pairo me janjire hai, pahre pe ye shamshire hai
tan pe bas hai vanwari
jeete maut ke vyapari
julm ka roj tamasha hai
phir bhi humko ye aasha hai
baaji palatne wali hai
raat ye dhalne wali hai
suraj phir niklega
duniya me gunjega
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram

julm ke ye din beetenge
sathi hum bhi jeetenge
dharti maa ka kahna hai
ek sada ang rahna hai
iski jaat aur uska dharam
aao bhula de ye sab hum
sabka bas haq kurbani
sab hai yaha hindustani
ab sunle jag nara
aurat ka ye nara
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram

gahre ghane andhere, raate hai kabse ghere
diwar jaisi raate, humko hai kabse ghere
par humne thani hai, subah to lani hai
dharti maa hum khate hai teri kasam
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram
vande maatram, vande maatram

Shadows deep, a night profound,
For ages, darkness has us bound.
Night like walls, they rise and loom,
For ages, sealing every room.
But we have vowed, with hearts ablaze,
To greet the dawn, in coming days.
Mother Earth, your soil we claim,
Upon your truth, we stake our name.
Bowed to you, Mother, bowed so deep.
Bowed to you, Mother, secrets to keep.
Bowed to you, Mother, in every breath,
Bowed to you, Mother, facing death.

Chains they bind our weary feet,
Swords stand guard, the vigil keep.
Our bodies bear the forest's grace,
We live, yet death we embrace.
Tyranny's spectacle, a daily show,
Yet hope's soft ember starts to glow.
The game will turn, the tide will shift,
This endless night, will gently drift.
The sun will rise, its golden hue,
Across the world, a song anew.
Bowed to you, Mother, bowed so deep.
Bowed to you, Mother, secrets to keep.

These days of pain, they will decline,
Comrades, victory will be thine.
Mother Earth's command rings clear,
One truth to hold forever near.
Forget the castes, forget the creed,
Forget the seeds of hate we feed.
All have the right to sacrifice,
We are all children of paradise.
Now let the world behold and hear,
A woman’s cry, banishing all fear.
Bowed to you, Mother, bowed so deep.
Bowed to you, Mother, secrets to keep.

Shadows deep, a night profound,
For ages, darkness has us bound.
Night like walls, they rise and loom,
For ages, sealing every room.
But we have vowed, with hearts ablaze,
To greet the dawn, in coming days.
Mother Earth, your soil we claim,
Upon your truth, we stake our name.
Bowed to you, Mother, bowed so deep.
Bowed to you, Mother, secrets to keep.
Bowed to you, Mother, in every breath,
Bowed to you, Mother, facing death.
Bowed to you, Mother, bowed so deep.
Bowed to you, Mother, secrets to keep.
