Rana rana rana rana karanae
Indha boomipandhu adhirum aranae
Dhaga dhaga dhaga dhaga oliyae
Sooriyanai sudum sudarae
Porkala porakala nalanae
Indha desam unadhu kalanae
Viru viru viru viru nadayae
Un thyaagathukku nigar illayae
Paayum nadhi unaku siru thuli
Pagaiyodu nindraal adi dhadi
Edhiraaliku yeman ena ivan vizhi
Nee munnirka desam dhaan vaazhumae…
Jana gana mana

Veeram idhu oho

Roz roz dangal baarud pe hota
Aage tu hi rehta he raaj tera hota

Halla karenge phir warn karenge

…………………
Fierce warrior of the battlefield,
O fortress that makes this earth tremble!
O blazing, glowing light!
O flame that burns hotter than the sun!
O champion of the battlefield,
This nation is the vessel in your hands!
With a swift and steady stride,
There is no match for your sacrifice!
A rushing river is just a tiny drop to you,
Stand against the enemy, and you strike with crushing force!
His eyes look like the God of Death to any foe,
Because you stand in front, this nation lives on...
Jana Gana Mana,
Male: With every breath, oho,
Chorus: You protect us!
Male: Rising with great fury, oho,
Male: Even the soil gains strength!
This is true courage, oho,
Victory is always ours... Jai Ho!
Salute to you, soldier!
Male: When you are here, there is no danger!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: You are the power protecting the nation!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: There is fire in your name!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: You are our savior forever!
Every day, the battle rages over gunpowder,
You lead from the front, and yours is the command,
The brave son of Mother India roars with unmatched might!
We stand on the waters and on the land,
We will strike directly,
We will hit right on the chest, Mother!
We will storm ahead, and then sound the warning,
We will tear you down or bury you alive!
We will charge forward, strike, and roar!
The pain is yours, and the strength is yours,
The battlefield is yours, and the duty is yours,
The barriers are yours, and breaking them is yours,
Chorus: This is a heart that dares to face anything!
Every single day is a struggle,
Your life is the heartbeat of this land,
Your passion seeks a brand new path,
Chorus: Aren't you an empire of courage?
Soldier... Soldier...
The tricolor is our true color,
And that flag is your very life,
This nation is our protective wall,
You were born to protect this soil... Jai Ho... Jai Ho!
Day after day,
Male: You have a mission to fulfill,
Chorus: Second after second,
Male: Tomorrow will chant your name,
Chorus: The whole nation gathers together,
Male: To crown you with a garland of honor,
Victory is always ours, Jai Ho!
Salute to you, soldier!
Male: When you are here, there is no danger!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: You are the power protecting the nation!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: There is fire in your name!
Chorus: Salute to you, soldier!
Male: You are our savior forever!

Poetic devices

Iyaibu (Rhyming Endings)

Rana rana rana rana karanae / Indha boomipandhu adhirum aranae

The opening stanza uses matching line endings ending with the sound 'ae' (karanae, aranae, oliyae, sudarae, nalanae, kalanae, nadayae, illayae) to create a rhythmic chant.

Adukku Thodar / Onomatopoeia

Dhaga dhaga dhaga dhaga oliyae

Words like 'Viru viru', 'Dhaga dhaga', and 'Dhinam dhinam' use sound repetition to evoke rapid movement, blazing light, and continuous action.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navirchi)

Sooriyanai sudum sudarae

Describing the soldier's fiery spirit as something that can burn even the sun heightens the hero's epic scale.
