જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત! |
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta! |
Victory to proud Gujarat! Somnath and the lord of Dwarka are the gods in the west and ready to protect. Victory to proud Gujarat. Have seen rivers Narmada, Tapi , Mahi and others. And seen wars of valiant warriors, and the sea with enormous resources. From the top of the hills, Our gallant ancestors are blessing for victory. Unite all castes. Victory to proud Gujarat. That past glory of [ancient capital] Anhilwad and king Siddharaj Jaisinh .Will be surpassed in near future, O Mother! The night has over and the omen are good, the noon will beseem. People dance with Narmada .Victory to proud Gujarat. |
