Mera Desh Meri Shaan

सिर पर जिसके ताज हिमालय, सागर चरण पखारे
सोने की चिड़िया कहकर, अब तक दुनिया जिसे पुकारे

Crowned with the Himalayas high,
With oceans washing its feet nearby.
The world still calls it the golden land,
A nation once rich, noble, and grand.

कला जहाँ की लाजवानी है, संस्कृति बड़ी पुरानी
आँचल में तहज़ीबे जलने, जिसकी अदा रूहानी

Its art is timeless, its culture deep,
Traditions that the ages keep.
A land where values shine so bright,
With a divine grace, pure and white.

सात रंगों और त्योहारों का, भारत वर्ष महान
मेरा देश, मेरा देश, मेरी शान

A land of colors, a land of festivity,
Bharat stands in pride and dignity.
My nation, my nation, my pride,
A legacy that shines far and wide.

सबका तीर्थ यही है भारत, जहाँ पे भगवान आए
देवभूमि भारत की महिमा, सारी दुनिया गाए

This is the land, the holiest shrine,
Where God Himself descended divine.
The world sings praises of Bharat’s grace,
A sacred land, a blessed place.

सब धर्म को, सब झंडे को, एक है करने वाला
देर नहीं, फिर विश्वगुरु यही भारत बनने वाला

Uniting all faiths, uniting all creeds,
Bharat fulfills the world's true needs.
Not long now, its wisdom will rise,
Guiding the world with truth in its eyes.

प्राण से प्यारा देश हमारा, सब इस पर कुर्बान
मेरा देश, मेरा देश, मेरी शान

More precious than life, this land we adore,
For it, our hearts will give even more.
My nation, my nation, my pride,
A beacon of light, where virtues reside.
