= = = = = = = = 

May the New Year be auspicious.

May the New Year confer on us supreme bliss

with happiness and diseaselessness. (0)

*

May the light of love be brilliantly kindled

in the temples of all the hearts.

May the lucid lotus of mind

bear excellent comeliness.

May noble thoughts perpetually eradicate

all dejections and depressions. (1)

*

In the New Year, may the noble calibre

emerging from noble poets and thinkers expand.

Even under the firmament,

this calibre forms divine effulgence

enlighted with the wealth of learning.

May the calibre bestow prosperity,

fearless boon and all kinds of

brilliant achievements. (2)

*

In every direction

may the pleasant cooings of birds

herald sweet tidings of the riches

of flowers, fruits,trees and creepers.

May the lucid and clear water

quench thirst of the mundane creatures.(3)

*

May the fragrant zephyr gladden

all the worldly beings.

Devoid of pollution, may it blow from all sides

and discard all evils with envies

in the enlightened universe. (4)

*

May the Earth rejoice and be blessed

with fortune by bearing timely rainfall;

also be opulent with excellent profuse corns

and be full of jewels along with sylvan riches.

May the robust infallible unity among the people

be fruitful with well-being. (5)

*

May the dexterous technique of knowledge

removing all sufferings

and beauteously conferring peace,

be prolific in the world

by rendering welfare to the people.

May the great vow eradicate

all conflicts and collisions. (6)

*

Self-dependent in the path of right policy,

with propitiated fortune

and virtuous with the vibrant incantation

of national integration,

may the Motherland Bharatavarsha,

fragrant, resplendent and beautiful,

remain ever-victorious.

May the New Year be auspicious. (7)

*
