Full Anthem Lyrics with English Meaning

आरी की डोरी, परंपरा की शान,

(Aari ki dori, parampara ki shaan)

The thread of Aari is the pride of tradition,

कुशल हथेलियों का अद्भुत गान,

(Kushal hatheliyon ka adbhut gaan)

An extraordinary song of skilled palms,

गांवों से दुनिया तक का रास्ता,

(Gaavon se duniya tak ka raasta)

From villages to the world’s stage,

कलात्मक विरासत का उज्ज्वल वास्ता।

(Kalatmak virasat ka ujjwal vaasta)

A radiant connection to our artistic heritage.

सपनों संग सिली हर रेखा,

(Sapno sang sili har rekha)

Every stitch sewn with dreams,

हर कढ़ाई में शक्ति की लेखा,

(Har kadhai mein shakti ki lekha)

Every embroidery line holding the record of strength,

रूढ़ियों को तोड़, नारी बने मिसाल,

(Roodhiyon ko tod, naari bane misaal)

Breaking barriers, women become examples of courage,

संस्कृति से सजती है उसकी ढाल।

(Sanskriti se sajti hai uski dhaal)

Her shield is adorned with culture.

कला में एकता, गर्व हमारा,

(Kala mein ekta, garv hamaara)

Unity in art, our pride,

देश-विदेश में फैला सितारा,

(Desh-videsh mein phaila sitaara)

A star shining across the nation and abroad,

सोने से हाथों ने रच दी तक़दीर,

(Sone se haathon ne rach di takdeer)

Golden hands have crafted destiny,

आरी श्रमिक — देश की गौरव-वीर!

(Aari shramik — desh ki gaurav-veer!)

Aari workers — the proud heroes of our nation!
