O Sarasvati
the one who plays veena !
give boon [zegen]

fill the country known as new Bharat
with enticing and free songs
and nectar like chants

O Mother !
tear apart the shackles of darkness in heart
and let a river of light flow then

absolve dirt, differences, darkness and
fill them with light, making everything
resplendent [luisterrijk] thereby

bless the birds of the new horizon
with new speed, new tunes
new musical measures

new verses, new throat
new cloud of songs
new voice after
