dharatī kī śāna tū bhārata kī santāna
terī muṭhṭhiyoṁ meṁ banda tūfāna hai re
manuṣya tū baḍā mahāna hai bhūla mata
manuṣya tū baḍā mahān hai ||dhṛ||

tū jo cāhe parvata pahāḍoṁ ko phoḍa de
tū jo cāhe nadīyoṁ ke mukha ko bhī moḍa de
tū jo cāhe māṭī se amṛta nicoḍa de
tū jo cāhe dharatī ko ambara se joḍa de
amara tere prāṇa ---2 milā tujhako varadāna
terī ātmā meṁ svayam bhagavāna hai re ||1||

---manuṣya tū baḍā mahāna hai
nayano se jvāla terī gatī meṁ bhūcāla
terī chātī meṁ chupā mahākāla hai
pṛthvī ke lāla terā himagirī sā bhāla
terī bhṛkuṭī meṁ tānḍava kā tāla hai
nija ko tū jāna ---2 jarā śaktī pahacāna
terī vāṇī meṁ yuga kā āvhāna hai re ||2||

----manuṣya tū baḍā mahān hai
dharatī sā dhīra tū hai agnī sā vīra
tū jo cāhe to kāla ko bhī thāma le
pāpoṁkā pralaya ruke paśutā kā śīśa jhuke
tū jo agara himmata se kāma le
guru sā matimān ---2 pavana sā tū gatimāna
terī nabha se bhī uṁcī uḍāna hai re ||3||
---manuṣya tū baḍā mahāna hai

Meaning
Jewel in the crown of Mother Earth, descendant of the great sage Manu, O human, you can hold a storm in your fist. Human life is gifted and great.

If you so wish, you can crush mountains, change the course of rivers, extract nectar from dirt and join the earth to the sky. Your soul is immortal, O blessed one. You are a spark of the Almighty.

There is fire in your eyes, the earth shakes when you walk and Lord Shiva dwells in your heart. O son of Mother Earth, your forehead is like the Himalayan range and in your eyebrows is the beat of the great Tandav dance of Lord Shiva. Know your true nature, realise your power, and your speech can take up the challenge of this ‘yuga’.

You are firm like Earth and heroic like fire. If you so desire, you can stop even death. Sinful destruction will stop and the evil will bow down if you show your courage. You are wise like the Guru and swift like the wind. You can fly even beyond the sky.
