Bhītī na āmhā tujhī muḷī hī, gaḍagaḍaṇāryā nabhā.
𝄆 Sahyādrīcā siṃha garjato 𝄇 shivashaṃbhū rājā, Darīdarītūn nāda guṃjalā Mahārāṣṭra Mājhā!
Kāḷyā chātīvarī koralī abhimānācī leṇī, Polādī managaṭe kheḷati kheḷa jivagheṇī.
Dāridryācyā unhāta shijalā, niḍhaḷācyā ghāmāne bhijalā, 𝄆 Deshagauravāsāṭhī jhijalā 𝄇 dillīcehī takhta rākhit, Mahārāṣṭra Mājhā!
Inscriptions of pride he carved on his black chest, His iron fists battled in lethal fights.
In the heat of poverty he burned; in the sweat of toil he bathed, He struggled for the nation's glory; he defendeth the throne of Delhi – my Maharashtra!

Reva, Varada, Krishna, Koyna, Bhadra, Godavari, They fill the water of unity in my earthen heart.
