==Traditional version==

===Lyrics===
:जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा, गर्जा महाराष्ट्र माझा Glory glory to my Maharashtra, Roar 'My Maharashtra'

:रेवा वरदा, कृष्ण कोयना, भद्रा गोदावरी Reva, Varada, Krishna, Koyana, Bhadra, Godavari
:एकपणाचे भरती पाणी मातीच्या घागरी Fill my heart with sense of unity
:भीमथडीच्या तट्टांना या यमुनेचे पाणी पाजा Race the Bhimthadi horses to the River Yamuna
:जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा ... Glory glory to my Maharashtra

:भीती न आम्हा तुझी मुळी ही गडगडणाऱ्या नभा We don't fear you, you thundering skies
:अस्मानाच्या सुलतानीला जवाब देती जीभा We will speak and fight against the atrocities of Mughal Sultans
:सह्याद्रीचा सिंह गर्जतो, शिवशंभू राजा The Lions of Sahyadri roar, viz. King Shivaji and King Sambhaji
:दरीदरीतून नाद गुंजला महाराष्ट्र माझा The valleys echo 'Glory glory to my Maharashtra'

:काळ्या छातीवरी कोरली अभिमानाची लेणी We carve milestones of pride on our brave chests
:पोलादी मनगटे खेळती खेळ जीवघेणी We fight lethally with our fists
:दारिद्र्याच्या उन्हात शिजला, निढळाच्या घामाने भिजला We bathe ourselves in the sweat of poverty and hardwork
:देशगौरवासाठी झिजला Striving tirelessly for the glory of my nation
:दिल्लीचेही तख्त राखितो, महाराष्ट्र माझा Even the Sultans of Delhi salute my Maharashtra

The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album ''Dilse Maratha Hai'' by singer – composer [[Avdhoot Gupte]]. The album was released by president of [[Shiv Sena]], [[Uddhav Thackeray]] at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", [[Bandra]], Mumbai.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-04-25/mumbai/28540726_1_sena-tunes-shiv-sena-thackeray-residence-matoshree |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707010853/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-04-25/mumbai/28540726_1_sena-tunes-shiv-sena-thackeray-residence-matoshree |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 July 2012 |title=Sena tunes in to Dilse Maratha Hai |date=25 Apr 2004 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=3 Feb 2012 }}</ref> The video featured actors [[Urmila Matondkar]] and [[Vivek Oberoi]]. Gupte's song however is a mix of [[Hindi]] and Marathi. The music is inspired from Bryan Adam's chartbuster song ''[[Summer of '69]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2012}}

The new version had to face some criticism for use of swear words not considered appropriate in the song. In defense Gupte said that they were added "to make it peppy".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/47842/ |title=Magic Numbers |newspaper=[[Indian Express]] |date=30 May 2004 |access-date=3 Feb 2012}}</ref>
