Literal translationSingable, poetic translation(unofficial)𝄆 Woven from hundreds of flowers, we are one garland that's Nepali
Spread sovereign from Mechi to Mahakali. 𝄇

A shawl of nature's wealth unending
From the blood of the braves, a nation free and non-moving.

A land of knowledge, of peace, the plains, hills and mountains tall
Indivisible, this beloved land of ours, our motherland Nepal.

Of many races, languages, religions, and cultures of incredible sprawl
This progressive nation of ours, all hail Nepal!𝄆 Woven from hundred flowers, we are garland Nepali
Sovereignly extended from Mechi to Mahakali. 𝄇

Millions of natural beauties, history like a shawl
Bloods of the braves make it free and immotile.

Progressive nation, I salute Nepal-aa!
