शुभ्रज्योत्स्ना पुलकितयामिनीम्,

वन्दे मातरम्।

I bow to thee, Mother—
whose nights glow in pure moonlight,
whose trees are adorned with blossoming flowers,
whose smile is radiant and whose speech is sweet,
the giver of happiness and the bestower of blessings.

I bow to thee, Mother.

कोटि-कोटि कण्ठ कल-कल निनाद कराले,
कोटि-कोटि भुजैर्धृत खड्गकरवाले,

रिपुदल-वारिणीं मातरम्।

वन्दे मातरम्।

I bow to thee, Mother—
whose countless voices resound with strength,
whose countless arms bear the weapons of courage.

Who can call thee weak, O Mother?

I bow to thee, the bearer of immense strength,
the deliverer from adversity,
and the power that overcomes oppression.

त्वं हि विद्या, त्वं हि धर्मः,

In our arms, thou art strength;
in our hearts, thou art devotion.
Thy image we fashion and cherish
in temple after temple.

Thou art Durga, bearer of ten weapons;
