    The translation is right under the poem but I'll do it like this:

    Jana Gana Mana Aadinayaka Jaya he
    Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,

    Bharat Bhagya Vidata
    dispenser of India's destiny.

    Punjab Sindh Gujarat Marata
    The name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, and Maratha.

    Dravida Utkala Banga
    Of Dravid, Orissa, and Bengal.

    Vinchya Himaachal Yamuna Ganga
    It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga

    Uchchala Jaladi Taranga
    and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.

    Tab Shubh Name Jaage
    They pray for your blessing

    Tab Shubh Aashisha Mange
    and sing thy praise

    Gahe Tab Jayagata
    ?

    Jana Gana Mangaladhayaka Jaya He
    The salvation of all people is in thy hand

    Bharat Bhagya Vidata
    thou dispenser of India's destiny.

    Jaya He Jaya He Jaya He
    Victory, Victory, Victory,

    Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya He.
    Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee.

    Obviously, there are a few added words to make it more poetic in English. I'm not sure I put the right translations on the right line either...that "Gahe tub jayagata" line is very mysterious.
    Again, watch the version of Jana Gana Mana on Youtube by A R Rahman.
