Conquering the battles, raising life on high, taking what is to be taken—look forth in manifold wise. With divine voice resound, O Drum; O Ordainer, bring thy knowing power upon the enemies.
लड़ाई जीत के, जीवन ऊपर उठा, जो लेने का है वो ले ले। ढोल की आवाज़ गूँजती है, भगवान की आवाज़ जैसे। अपनी समझ से दुश्मन पर अटैक कर।
