मेरे भारत के कंठहार, तुझको शत-शत वंदन बिहार! मेरे भारत के कंठहार, तुझ को शत-शत वंदन बिहार! तू वाल्मीकि की रामायण, तू वैशाली का लोकतंत्र! तू बोधी तत्व की करूणा है, तू महावीर का शांतिमंत्र! तू नालंदा का ज्ञानद्वीप, तू ही अक्षत चंदन बिहार! तू है अशोक की धर्म ध्वजा, तू गुरू गोविंद की वाणी है! तू आर्यभट्ट , तू शेर शाह, तू कुंवर सिंह की बलिदानी है! तू बापु की है कर्मभूमि, धरती का नंदनवन बिहार! तेरी गौरवगाथा अपूर्व, तू विश्वशांति का अग्रदूत! लौटेगा हमारा स्वाभिमान, अब जाग चुके तेरे सपूत! अब तू माथे का विजय तिलक, तू आँखों का अंजन बिहार! तुझको शत-शत वंदन बिहार, मेरे भारत के कंठहार!	mere bhaarat ke kanthahaar, tujhako shat shat vandan bihaar! mere bhaarat ke kanthahaar, tujh ko shat shat vandan bihaar! tu valmiki ki raamaayan, tu Vaishaalee ka lokatantr! tu bodhee tatv ki karuna hai, tu mahaaveer ka shaantimantr! tu naalanda ka gyaanadveep, tu hee akshat chandan bihaar! tu hai ashok kee dharm dhvaja, tu guroo govind kee vaanee hai! tu aaryabhatt , tu sher shaah, tu kunvar sinh kee balidaanee hai! tu baapu kee hai karmabhoomi, dharatee ka nandanavan bihaar! teree gauravagaatha apoorv, tu vishvashaanti ka agradoot! lautega hamaara svaabhimaan, ab jaag chuke tere sapoot! ab tu maathe ka vijay tilak, tu aankhon ka anjan bihaar! tujhako shat-shat vandan bihaar, mere bhaarat ke kanthahaar!	You are the garland of India, We bow to you in reverence, Bihar. You are the garland of India, We bow to you in reverence, Bihar. You are Valmiki’s Ramayana, You are Vaishali’s democracy You are the compassion of Buddhism, You are the peaceful chants of Mahavira. You are the beacon of Nalanda’s knowledge, You are the indestructible force of heaven, You are Ashoka’s wheel, You are the voice of Guru Gobind Singh. You are Aryabhatta, you are Sher Shah, You are the great sacrifice of Kunwar Singh You are the land of Mahatma Gandhi’s great deeds O Bihar, you are the blissful garden in this world. You are the song of unprecedented pride, You are the flag-bearer of peace in this world, Your erstwhile glory will surely return, Your progeny has finally woken up. You are the victory vermillion on my forehead, O Bihar, you are the cynosure of my eye, We bow to you in reverence Bihar, You are the garland of India.
