Thou Art the Ruler of the Minds of All People

Thou art the Ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy Name rouses the hearts
Of Punjab, Sind, Gujarat, and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
Mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges
And is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for Thy blessings and sing Thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in Thy Hand,
Thou Dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to Thee.

Rabindranath Tagore
