I`ve given a literal translation and would like to add the official version which stands as a poem in its own right.
Thy hidden gems are rich beyond all measure
Unnumbered are the pearls thy waters treasure
Oh wonderous land! Oh land of India!

Where the sea encloses cliffs with rubies laden
A Phoenix there reposes, a bird with the face of a Maiden
Sweet the cadence falling, paradise recalling

Golden plumes advancing, hide the ripples dancing
He who hears that Singer shall forever linger

Thy hidden gems are rich beyond all measure
Beneath thy waves unnumbered pearls lie gleaming
Oh wonderous land! Fair land of India!
