वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
शस्यशामलां मातरम् ।
शुभ्रज्योत्स्नापुलकितयामिनीं
फुल्लकुसुमितद्रुमदलशोभिनीं
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीं
सुखदां वरदां मातरम् ॥ १ ॥
वन्दे मातरम् ।
कोटि-कोटि-कण्ठ-कल-कल-निनाद-कराले
कोटि-कोटि-भुजैर्धृत-खरकरवाले,
अबला केन मा एत बले ।
बहुबलधारिणीं नमामि तारिणीं
रिपुदलवारिणीं मातरम् ॥ २ ॥
वन्दे मातरम् ।
तुमि विद्या, तुमि धर्म तुमि हृदि,
तुमि मर्म त्वं हि प्राणा:
शरीरे बाहुते तुमि मा शक्ति,
हृदये तुमि मा भक्ति,
तोमारई प्रतिमा गडि मन्दिरे-मन्दिरे मातरम् ॥ ३ ॥
वन्दे मातरम् ।
त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी
कमला कमलदलविहारिणी वाणी विद्यादायिनी,
नमामि त्वाम् नमामि कमलां
अमलां अतुलां सुजलां सुफलां मातरम् ॥ ४ ॥
वन्दे मातरम् ।
श्यामलां सरलां सुस्मितां
भूषितां धरणीं भरणीं मातरम् ॥ ५ ॥
वन्दे मातरम् ॥

Vande Mataram – National Song — Meaning in Brief
This song is a salutation to the Mother, who is pictured as the land itself: rich in water and fruit, cooled by fragrant breezes and green with crops. It describes her under bright moonlight, with flowering trees, a gentle smile and sweet speech, as the giver of happiness and blessings. The verses speak of the strength of countless voices and arms, and of her as the one who bears many powers, saves, and drives back the ranks of foes. The singer calls her knowledge, duty, heart and life-breath, the strength in the arms and the devotion in the heart, and says her images are fashioned in temple after temple. She is likened to the goddesses Durga, Lakshmi and Vani, the giver of learning, and every verse returns to the same refrain of bowing to the Mother.
When to recite: It is sung as a patriotic song.
