"Jay Jay Garvi Gujarāt"^[a] is a poem written by Gujarati poet Narmadashankar Dave in 1873. It is used as a state anthem during ceremonies of the Government of Gujarat.^[1]^[2]

Composition

Narmad is considered the first modern Gujarati writer. He wrote the poem in 1873 as the foreword of his first Gujarati dictionary, Narmakosh.^[3]^[4]^[2]

In this poem, Narmad epitomises the sense of pride in the region by identifying the region of Gujarati people. He delineates the boundary within which the Gujarati-speaking population live: Ambaji in the north; Pavagadh in the east; Kunteshwar Mahadev near Vapi in the south; and Somnath, Dwarka in the west. This region mentioned by him now forms modern-day Gujarat, the western state of India.^[3]^[5]^[2] At the end of the poem, Narmad gives hope to the people of Gujarat that the dark clouds is lifting, and a new dawn is about to emerge.^[6]

In 2011, the composition sung by various Gujarati singers was released by the Government of Gujarat.^[1]

Victory to proud Gujarat,
Victory to proud Gujarat!
Where glorious dawn shines,
Victory to proud Gujarat!

Thy scarlet flag
with love marked
and valour shall shine;
teach and teach
thy children daily,
the way of love and devotion.
Thy kind is high and beautiful,
Victory to proud Gujarat!

In the north houses Goddess Amba,
in the east houses Goddess Kali,
in the south guarded by
Kunteshwer Mahadev;
Somnath and lord of Dwarka,
the Gods of the west
are all on guard.
Victory to proud Gujarat!

The rivers of Narmada, Tapi,
Mahi and others do flow.
Look at the battles
fought by our gallant warriors,
and the sea of abundant resources.
From the tops of hills,
our gallant fathers bless for victory
and unite all castes.
Victory to proud Gujarat!

The olden glory of Anhilwad
and the mighty king Siddharaj Jaisinh
through aeons shall be surpassed,
O Mother!
The night hath passed,
the omen are blessed,
daytime shall rise.
People with Narmada dance.
Victory to proud Gujarat!
