|जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा, गर्जा महाराष्ट्र माझा!
 
 
रेवा वरदा, कृष्ण कोयना, भद्रा गोदावरी,
 
एकपणाचे भरती पाणी मातीच्या घागरी.
 
भीमथडीच्या तट्टांना या यमुनेचे पाणी पाजा!
 
 
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा…
 
 
भीती न आम्हा तुझी मुळी ही,  गडगडणाऱ्या नभा.
 
अस्मानाच्या सुलतानीला जवाब देती जीभा.
 
सह्याद्रीचा सिंह गर्जतो, शिवशंभू राजा,
 
दरीदरीतून नाद गुंजला महाराष्ट्र माझा!
 
 
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा…
 
 
 
काळ्या छातीवरी कोरली अभिमानाची लेणी,
 
पोलादी मनगटे खेळती खेळ जीवघेणी.
 
दारिद्र्याच्या उन्हात शिजला, निढळाच्या घामाने भिजला,
 
देशगौरवासाठी झिजला,
 
दिल्लीचेही तख्त राखितो, महाराष्ट्र माझा!
 
 
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा…
 
| Jaya Jaya Mahārāṣṭra Mājhā, Garjā Mahārāṣṭra Mājhā!

Victory to my Maharashtra…
 
 
We do not fear you at all, O Thundering Sky.
 
We boldly reply to the Sultans of above (''[[Mughal Empire|Mughals]]'').
 
The lion of the ''[[Western Ghats|Sahyadri]]'' roars, King [[Shivaji]] and King [[Sambhaji]],
 
From every valley echoes the sound 'My Maharashtra!' 
 
Victory to my Maharashtra… 
 
He carved inscriptions of pride on his [[Vertisol|black chest]],
 
his fists of iron played in lethal fights.
 
He burned in the heat of poverty, he bathed in the sweat of hardwork,
 
He struggled for the glory of the nation, He defends even the throne of Delhi, my Maharashtra! 
 
Victory to 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>
