Lyrics

रातो र चन्द्र सूर्य, जङ्गी निशान हाम्रो
जिउंदो रगत सरी यो, बल्दो यो शान हाम्रो

हिमाल झै अटल यो, झुकेन यो कहिल्यै
लत्रेन यो कहिले, जङ्गी निशान हाम्रो
यो जन्मदै जगतमा, कयौ प्रहार आए
साम्राज्य दुई हारे, हारेन यो शान हाम्रो

जबसम्म चन्द्र - सुर्य, आकाशमा रहन्छन्
तबसम्म हुन्छ आफ्नै, रातो रगत यो हाम्रो
गाई सरी छन साधु, जो जो यहाँ जगतमा
सबको शरण बलियो, जङ्गी निशान हाम्रो

Transliterated

Rato ra chandra surya, jangi nishana hamro
Jiundo ragat sari yo, baldo yo shana hamro

Himal jhai atal yo, jhukena yo kahilyai
Latrena yo kahile, jangi nishana hamro
Yo janmadai jagatma, kayau prahar aae
Samrajya dui hare, harena yo shana hamro

Jabasamma chandra - surya, aakashma rahanchhan
Tabasamma hunchha aaphnai, rato ragat yo hamro
Gai sari chhana sadhu, jo jo yaha jagatma
Sabko sharan baliyo, jangi nishana hamro

Translated

The Red, the Moon and the Sun
Indeed this national symbol of ours
Alive as a virile blood
With it blazes our pride

Firm like the Himalayas
It never bows down low
Never did it lean and gave up
This national symbol of ours

From the day it was born
It confronted many an attack
Defeated were the two nations at its side
But never did our symbol ever lose its pride

As long as the moon and the sun
Keep existing in the sky
Will our blood remain pure in us
Red and independent thus

Wise are every dwellers of this land
So are the ascetics like benign cows
A shelter so strong protecting all
This national symbol of ours
