of India Composed by Rabindranath Tagore Jana
Gana Mana Adhinayak Jai Hai The Bengali song "Bharat Vidhata" was published in a magazine Tattvabhodhini Patrika of which Rabindranath Tagore was the Editor. He translated into English under the title of Morning Song of India. |
THE MORNING SONG OF INDIA (English translation of Jana Gana Mana..) Thou art the
ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India’s destiny. Thy name rouses the
hearts of the Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha, of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengali; it
echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of the 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.

Rabindranath Tagore’s Prayer
"Father, let my country awake!"
A hope for a Free India, in true sense.
Father, Let my Country awake!
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand
of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action -
Into the heaven of Freedom, My Father, Let my Country awake!
