      सब मिल कर हिन्द पुकारे, जय आज़ाद हिन्द के नारे।
      śubh savere paṅkh pakhere, tere hī guṇ gāẽ,
      bās bharī bharpūr havāẽ, jīvan mẽ rut lāẽ,
      sab mil kar hind pukāre, jay āzād hind ke nāre.
      Every auspicious morning, it spreads its wings, and sings your praises,
      the plentiful, smelling winds, brings a pleasant monsoon to life!
