IIT-Bombay's Institute Song

 

 

During sixties, the Institute picked a song to call of its own - an incantation translated from the Bengali, its original credited to Rabindranath Tagore.  The song is devotional in nature, in it the worshipper asks the 'Infinite One' to grant him, among other virtures, enlightenment, diligence, and fearlessness: arguably the prime ingredients of the academic spirit.  The reproductions here are in the Devanagiri and in its transliterated form.

 
 

 

Antar mama viksit kar

            Antaratar hey

 

Nirmal kar, ujjawal kar

            Sundar Kar hey

 

Jagrat kar, Udyat kar

            Nirbhay kar hey

 

Mangal kar, niralas kar

            Nihsanshay kar hey

 

Yukt kar hey sabke sang mein

            Mukt kar hey bandh

 

Sanchar kar sakal karm mein

            Shaant tumhara chhand

 

Charan-kamal se mera man

            Nispandit kar hey,

            Nandit kar

            Nandit Kar

            Nandit kar hey
