Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat

Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat... The Name itself always gives motivation
 

This is my All time favourite song.  Whether I live any part of the world, but this song has always been a connecting link to my mother land. It always reminds me from which culture and values I am coming. Those values and knowledge of responsibilities has always influenced me to choose the right directions at each turn of my life...

The rest of the Emotions with this mother land are described in lyrics (with English translation) of this song as below:

Dhara chhe.. Aa maari......Dariyaa ni lahero - pan chhe maari ;

Aa Rann, mane pyaaru chhe.... Khetar - Chhe shobha maari;

[The land is mine, waves of the sea - are all mine;

This desert is beloved, the green fields - are my grace;]

Dhanya hu..thai gayo ...... ahi janma je maaro thayo; (2)

Jai Jai Jai Jai, Garvi Gujarat - maara dil maan dhadke Gujarat

[Blessed I feel...that I born on this land;

Oh hail the Pride of Gujarat - Gujarat beats in my heart]

Vishwa nu, dwaar chhe .... Ahi sadaa pyaar chhe...

Tane namu, laakh vaar hu....Bhoomi Maari ...

Jai Jai ......

[Door to the world it is, Always Love for everyone it has;

I bow to thee a million times, oh motherland of mine]

Kai siddh karya vyaapar mein dariyaa paar, Gujarati hu chhu;

Mane phoolo jetlo parsevaa thi pyaar, Gujarat hu chhu.

[Have Conquered businesses over the seas, I am Gujarati,

As I love flowers, I love sweat [of efforts], I am Gujarati]

Maari rag rag maa Karuna, Seva, Sahkaar, Gujarati hu chhu;

Har aafat saame ubho bani padkaar, Gujarati hu chhu.

[Compassion, Service, co-operation is in my veins, I am Gujarati;

Standing as a challenge against coming storms, I am Gujarati]

Paankh naa aa fafdaat maa, Gagan kahi rahyu chhe mane khol tu;

Lakshya ni pare Laskshya aapnu, kahi rahyu chhe have bol tu.

[Behind this sound of wings, I can hear sky is calling me to open it up;

(new) targets beyond these achievements, is calling me to speak out]

Kaik dwaar haju kholvaa naa chhe, kaik zarukhaa bandh chhe;

Muththi o maa maari uchhali je rahya, saat suraj naa chhand chhe. **

[Still there are closed doors, closed windows, to be opened;

In my palm, eager to get free, are the seven 'sur' of the sun]**

Jai jai jai jai, Garvi Gujarat Mara Dil ma dhadke Gujarat.

Jai Jai Jai Jai, Garvi Gujarat, Mara Desh Nu Gharenu Gujarat.

[Oh hail the Pride of Gujarat - Gujarat beats in my heart;

Oh hail the Pride of Gujarat, the jewel of my beloved country]

Ek doro maari paase chhe, toh ek doro taari ye paase chhe;

Saath sau mali, vaniye ek nadi, kaal ne ke je khaas chhe.

[I have a string, bring out yours too, Let together weave this river,

that is most special for tomorrow]

Anjali maa Sankalp chhe, ane aankho maa vishwas chhe;

Mann ma karma ni vaansli chhe, ane ek surili aas chhe.

[Determination in my offerings (to God) and trust is in the eyes,

Soul is filled by musical hope, given by flute of Karma]

Jai Jai Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat Mara dil ma dhadke Gujarat.

Jai Jai Jai Jai, Garvi Gujarat, Mara Desh Nu Gharenu Gujarat.

I feel proud to known as GUJARATI....
