Original poem
This is the full poem as composed by Raja Badhe.[3][5]
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा, गर्जा महाराष्ट्र माझा
रावी ते कावेरी भारत भाग्याच्या रेषा
निळेनिळे आकाश झाकते या पावन देशा
तुंग हिमालय, विंध्य अरवली, सह्याद्री निलगिरी
उत्तर दक्षिण वारे पाउस वर्षविती भूवरी
रेवा वरदा, कृष्ण कोयना, भद्रा गोदावरी
एकपणाचे भरती पाणी मातीच्या घागरी
भीष्मथडीच्या तट्टांना या यमुनेचे पाणी पाजा
भीति न आम्हा तुझी मुळीहि गडगडणार्या नभा
अस्मानाच्या सुलतानीला जबाब देती जिभा
सह्याद्रीचा सिंह गर्जतो शिव शंभू राजा
दरीदरींतुन नाद गुंजला महाराष्ट्र माझा
गलमुच्छे पिळदार मिशीवर उभे राहते लिंबू
चघळित पाने पिकली करितो दो ओठांचा चंबू
मर्द मराठा गडी ओढतो थंडीची गुडगुडो
ठसक्याची लावणी तशी ही ठसकदार गुलछडी
रंगरंगेला रगेल मोठा करितो रणमौजा
काळ्या छातीवरी कोरली अभिमानाची लेणी
पोलादी मनगटे खेळती खेळ जीवघेणी
निढळाच्या घामाने भिजला
दारिद्र्याच्या उन्हात शिजला
देश गौरवासाठी झिजला
दिल्लीचेही तक्त राखितो महाराष्ट्र माझा

The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album Dilse Maratha Hai by singer and composer Avdhoot Gupte. The album was released by former president of Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", Bandra, in Mumbai.[7] 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][8] The new version faced some criticism for the use of swear words considered inappropriate in the song. In defense Gupte said that they were added "to make it peppy".[9]
