Lyrics[]

जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा, गर्जा महाराष्ट्र माझा Glory glory to my Maharashtra, Roar 'My Maharashtra'
रेवा वरदा, कृष्ण कोयना, भद्रा गोदावरी Reva, Varada, Krishna, Koyana, Bhadra, Godavari
एकपणाचे भरती पाणी मातीच्या घागरी Fill my heart with sense of unity
भीमथडीच्या तट्टांना या यमुनेचे पाणी पाजा Race the Bhimthadi horses to the River Yamuna
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा ... Glory glory to my Maharashtra
भीती न आम्हा तुझी मुळी ही गडगडणाऱ्या नभा We don't fear you, you thundering skies
अस्मानाच्या सुलतानीला जवाब देती जीभा We will speak and fight against the atrocities of Mughal Sultans
सह्याद्रीचा सिंह गर्जतो, शिवशंभू राजा The Lions of Sahyadri roar, viz. King Shivaji and King Sambhaji
दरीदरीतून नाद गुंजला महाराष्ट्र माझा The valleys echo 'Glory glory to my Maharashtra'
काळ्या छातीवरी कोरली अभिमानाची लेणी We carve milestones of pride on our brave chests
पोलादी मनगटे खेळती खेळ जीवघेणी We fight lethally with our fists
दारिद्र्याच्या उन्हात शिजला, निढळाच्या घामाने भिजला We bathe ourselves in the sweat of poverty and hardwork
देशगौरवासाठी झिजला Striving tirelessly for the glory of my nation
दिल्लीचेही तख्त राखितो, महाराष्ट्र माझा Even the Sultans of Delhi salute my Maharashtra

Gupte's song however is a mix of Hindi and Marathi. The music is inspired from Bryan Adam's chartbuster song Summer of '69.[citation needed]
