उदुत्सं॑ श॒तधा॑रं स॒हस्र॑धार॒मक्षि॑तम्। ए॒वास्माके॒दं धा॒न्यं ऽ स॒हस्र॑धार॒मक्षि॑तम्

Up let the well-spring rise, a hundred-streamed, a thousand-streamed, undwindling. Even so be this our grain, a thousand-streamed, undwindling.
पानी का सोता ऊपर आए, सौ नालियों से, हज़ार नालियों से, कभी खत्म न हो। ऐसे ही हमारा अनाज भी हो, हज़ार नालियों जैसा, कभी खत्म न हो।
