Lyrics: Pradeep Kumar Rai - Music: Amber Gurung

The national anthem is simply worded, praising Nepalese sovereignty, unity, courage, pride, scenic beauty, progress, peace, cultural and biological diversity and respect.

Nepali lyrics

सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली।
प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।
ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।
बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

Sayaũ thū̃ga phūlkā hāmī, euṭai mālā Nepālī
Sārvabhaum bhai phailiekā, Meci-Mahākālī
Prakṛtikā kotī-kotī sampadāko ā̃cal,
Vīrharūkā ragatle, svatantra ra aṭal
Jñānabhūmi, śāntibhūmi Tarāī, pahād, himāl
Akhaṇḍa yo pyāro hāmro mātṛbhūmi Nepāl
Bahul jāti, bhāṣā, dharma, sãskṛti chan biśāl
Agragāmī rāṣṭra hāmro, jaya jaya Nepāl

Translation

We are hundreds of flowers, the one garland - Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.
Amassing nature's millions of resources
By the blood of heroes, independent and immovable.
Land of knowledge, land of peace, Terai, hills, mountains
Indivisible this beloved, our motherland Nepal.
The diverse races, languages, faiths, and cultures are so extensive
Our progressive nation, long live long live Nepal.
