the meaning-
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

@bsb360 Here is the translation-- You rule the minds of all people and
control India's future. Your name brings joy to Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and
Maratha; and Dravida and Orissa and Bengal. (regions in India) It echoes in
the Vindhya and Himalayan hills, and mixes with the music of the Yamuna and
Ganga rivers. It is also sung by waves of the sea. We pray for your
blessings and sing your praise. We look forward to your best wishes. And we
wish Victory, victory, victory for you!

parts)-- Oh! the ruler of the minds of people, Victory be to You, dispenser
of the destiny of India! Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maharashtra,Dravida(South
India), Orissa, and Bengal, The Vindhya, the Himalayas, the Yamuna, the
Ganges,and the oceans with foaming waves all around Wake up listening to
