Ranbhumi Jab Nikal Padoon Seene Mein Dhadhakti Angaar RaheCharging into battle, may fire rage within my chest.
Ban Kaal Dushmano Par GirunMay I descend upon enemies as death itself,
Mukh Se Nikalti Lalkaar Rahea fierce battle cry surging from my lips.
Kaate Sheesho Ka Ambar KarunMay I raise a mountain of severed heads,
Jab Tak Haathon Mein Talwaar Raheso long as this blade is clutched in my hands.
Ranvijay Ka Varan Karun Ekling Jee Ki Jai-Jaikaar RaheMay victory be mine in war, and the cheers for Ekling ji, our sacred deity, thunder.
Lahu Mein Mere Jwaala Taap KareMay a blaze course through my blood,
Man Shatruon Ka Bhayankar Kaanp Kareand may my enemies quake in terror.
Kan-Kan Se Aati Yeh Aawaaz RaheMay this call echo from every particle of dust:
Meri Matrabhum Hamesha Azaad RaheMay my motherland always remain free.
Mhaari Jaman, Tumhaaree Maavan TuYou are my birthplace and my mother,
Swabhimaan Tero Naa Khovan DyunI will not let your self-respect be lost.
Kaate Sheesh Pade Par Yeh Paag NahinMy head may be severed, but this turban, my honor, will not fall;
Praadheen Kade Naa Hovan DyunI will never let you be subservient to anyone.

Praadheen Kisi Ki Naa HoMay you never be dependent on anyone,
Kaayam Tera Yeh Swabhimaan Rahe may your self-respect remain steadfast forever.
Pran Liya Laaj Bachaane KaI have taken a vow to protect your honor;
Vyarth Naa Mera Kabhi Yeh Balidaan Rahe May this sacrifice of mine never be in vain.
Phale-Phoole Kona-Kona TeraMay every corner of your land blossom and prosper,
Hare Bhare Tere Khet Khalihaan Rahemay your fields and farms remain green and lush.
O Maati Tu Sabki Maat DharaOh, soil, you are the mother of all;

Jab Tak Sooraj Prakaash RaheAs long as the sun continues to shine,
Rang Kesariya Aabaad Rahemay the ‘kesaria’, the saffron color of valor, always flourish.
O Maa Mere Jaane Ke Baad Bhi Logon Ke Dilon MeinOh, mother, even after I am gone, in the hearts of the people,
Tera Beta Maharana Pratap Rahemay your son, Maharana Pratap, the great warrior king, live on.
Ladkar Ran Miti Ho Jaoon Markar Kan Miti Ho JaoonI would rather fight and become one with this soil, I would rather die and become a particle of this dust,
Sweekaar Nahin Meri Matrabhum Ki Aakar Tujhpar Vaar Karethan to ever accept an enemy coming to your sacred land to attack you.

Jaise Ek Chingaari Laga Deti Hai Poore Jangal Mein AagJust as a single spark can set an entire forest on fire,
Aise The Veeron Ke Veer Maharana PratapSuch was the hero of heroes, Maharana Pratap.
Nahin Bhoolenge Ranbhumi Mein Lahu BahayaWe will never forget the blood he shed on the battlefield;
Pyaari Thi Itni Aazaadi Re Jangal Mein Jeevan BitaayaSo dear was his freedom that he spent his life in the jungles.
Rankshetra Mein Palat Kar Baazi Har Dushman Ko Maar BhagaayaOn the battlefield, he overturned the odds and routed every enemy.
De Raana Ne Praanon Ki Aahuti Iss Maati Ka Karz ChukayaThe Rana gave the sacrifice of his life and thus repaid the debt to this soil.
Unhi Ki Saugat Hamein Mili Thi Aazaadi Ab Hamein Yeh Farz Nibhaana HaiIt is his legacy that gave us our freedom; now we must fulfill our duty.
Bharat Desh Amaanat Hai Unki,The nation of India is our sacred trust.
Unki Soch Ko Aage Badhaana HaiAnd we must carry their vision forward.
Mere Desh Ke Jawaanon Ko Maharana Pratap Ban Jaana HaiThe youth of my country must become like Maharana Pratap,
Aur Apne Watan Ko Uske Dushmano Se Har Pal Bachaana Haiand protect our homeland from its enemies at every moment.
O, Maati Mewara Ri, Sun Maavad Raana RiOh, soil of Mewar, listen to this vow of your Rana, the king,
Mastak Tera Tika Shaan MeriYour well-being is the mark of my honor;
Nahin Jaawan Doonga Aan TeriI will not let your dignity fall.
Tujhko Yeh Zabaan Meri, Tujhpe Vaaroonga Jaan MeriThis is my promise; I will lay down my life for you.
Bali Tujhpe Prana Ri, O Maati Mewara RiI will sacrifice my very breath, oh, soil of Mewar.
