Meaning
All over the land, you've kindled this longing for freedom and self-rule, I will ensure that you are imprisoned and made to feel the pain You chanted "Vande Maataram" in your gatherings, treating us with contempt, You revealed the truth to the cowardly public, and flaunted the laws You preached bravery in the face of death, to the poor masses You turned us from our contentment, sparking new desires and wants You incited those who were lost in service alone, and sought their praise You sowed the seeds of self-government all over this land, with your deeds, Could a hare do the work that a lion once did, with your support? I will proclaim all this, and shame your soul into sadness, thus destroy it, Who can gainsay any of this? I will imprison you, and avenge every one here
