The following is a translation of Rabindranath Tagore's rendering of the stanza:
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India's destiny.
The name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha,of the Dravid
and Orissa and Bengal; it echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of the Yamuna and Ganga and is chanted by the waves of
the Indian Sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The salvation
of all people is in thy hand, thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
