==Composition==
Narmad is considered the first modern Gujarati writer. He wrote the poem in 1873 as the foreword of his first Gujarati dictionary, ''[[Narmakosh]]''.<ref name="toi2010">{{cite web|author1=Bharat Yagnik |author2=Ashish Vashi|title=No Gujarati dept in Veer Narmad, Hemchandracharya varsities |website=[[The Times of India]] | date=2 July 2010 | url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Layout/Includes/TOI/ArtWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOI&BaseHref=TOIA%2F2010%2F07%2F02&ViewMode=HTML&PageLabel=5&EntityId=Ar00503&AppName=1 | access-date=13 November 2016}}</ref><ref name="Tevani2003">{{cite book|last=Tevani|first=Shailesh|title=C.C.

In this poem, Narmad epitomises the sense of pride in the region by identifying the region of [[Gujarati people]]. He delineates the boundary within which the Gujarati-speaking population live: [[Ambaji]] in the north; [[Pavagadh]] in the east; Kunteshwar Mahadev near [[Vapi]] in the south; and [[Somnath]], [[Dwarka]] in the west. This region mentioned by him now forms modern-day [[Gujarat]], the western state of India.<ref name="toi2010"/><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Desai|first=Rakesh|date=2014|title=Scripting a Region: Narmad's Idea of Gujarat|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44753748|journal=Indian Literature|volume=58|issue=3 (281)|pages=175–187|issn=0019-5804}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> At the end of the poem, Narmad gives hope to the people of Gujarat that the dark clouds is lifting, and a new dawn is about to emerge.<ref name="TridipSuhrud">{{cite book |last=Suhrud|first=Tridip|author-link=Tridip Suhrud|title=Narrations of a Nation: Explorations Through Intellectual Biographies|chapter=Narmadashankar Lalshankar: Towards History and Self Knowing|chapter-url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/46631/7/07_chapter%202.pdf|publisher=School of Social Sciences, [[Gujarat University]]|location=Ahmedabad|type=Ph.D|pages=33|hdl=10603/46631}}</ref>

જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત!
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત,
દીપે અરુણું પરભાત,
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત !

ધ્વજ પ્રકાશશે ઝળળ કસુંબી,
પ્રેમ શૌર્ય અંકિત;
તું ભણવ ભણવ નિજ સંતજિ સઉને,
પ્રેમ ભક્તિની રીત
ઊંચી તુજ સુંદર જાત,
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત.

ઉત્તરમાં અંબા માત,
પૂરવમાં કાળી માત,
છે દક્ષિણ દિશમાં કરંત રક્ષા, કુંતેશ્વર મહાદેવ;
ને સોમનાથ ને દ્ધારકેશ એ,
પશ્વિમ કેરા દેવછે સહાયમાં સાક્ષાત,
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત.

નદી તાપી નર્મદા જોય,
મહી ને બીજી પણ જોય.
વળી જોય સુભટના જુદ્ધ રમણને,
રત્નાકર સાગર;
પર્વત ઉપરથી વીર પૂર્વજો,
દે આશિષ જયકર સંપે સોયે સઉ જાત,
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત.

તે અણહિલવાડના રંગ,
તે સિદ્ધ્રરાજ જયસિંગ.
તે રંગ થકી પણ અધિક સરસ રંગ,
થશે સત્વરે માત!
શુભ શકુન દીસે મધ્યાહ્ન શોભશે,
વીતી ગઈ છે રાત.
જન ઘૂમે નર્મદા સાથ,
જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત.

Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta!
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta,
Dīpē aruṇuṁ parabhāta,
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta!

Dhvaja prakāśaśē jhaḷaḷa kasumbī,
prēma śaurya aṅkita;
Tuṁ bhaṇava bhaṇava nija santaji sa'unē,
Prēma bhaktinī rīta
Ūn̄cī tuja sundara jāta,
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta.

Uttaramāṁ ambā māta,
Pūravamāṁ kāḷī māta,
Chē dakṣiṇa diśamāṁ karanta rakṣā, kuntēśvara mahādēva;
Nē sōmanātha nē d'dhārakēśa ē,
Paśvima kērā dēvachē sahāyamāṁ sākṣāta,
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta.

Nadī tāpī narmadā jōya,
Mahī nē bījī paṇa jōya.
Vaḷī jōya subhaṭanā jud'dha ramaṇanē,
Ratnākara sāgara;
Parvata uparathī vīra pūrvajō,
Dē āśiṣa jayakara sampē sōyē sa'u jāta,
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta.

Tē aṇahilavāḍanā raṅga,
Tē sid'dhrarāja jayasiṅga.
Tē raṅga thakī paṇa adhika sarasa raṅga,
Thaśē satvarē māta!
Śubha śakuna dīsē madhyāhna śōbhaśē,
Vītī ga'ī chē rāta.
Jana ghūmē narmadā sātha,
Jaya jaya garavī gujarāta.

Victory to proud Gujarat!
Victory to proud Gujarat,
Where shines glorious dawn,
Victory to proud Gujarat!

Thy scarlet flag marked with love
and valour will shine;
Teach thy children everyday,
the way of love and devotion.
Your kind is high and beautiful,
Victory to proud Gujarat.

In north, Goddess [[Ambaji|Amba]] [is situated],
In east, Goddess [[Kalika Mata Temple, Pavagadh|Kali]] [is situated],
In south, Kunteshwer Mahadev protects (Gujarat).
[[Somnath]] and the lord of [[Dwarka]]
are the gods in the west and ready to protect.
Victory to proud Gujarat.

Have seen rivers [[Narmada]], [[Tapti River|Tapi]],
[[Mahi River|Mahi]] and others.
And seen wars of valiant warriors,
and the [[Arabian Sea|sea]] with enormous resources.
From the top of the hills,
Our gallant ancestors are blessing for victory. Unite all castes.
Victory to proud Gujarat.

That past glory of [ancient capital] [[Anhilwad Patan|Anhilwad]]
and king [[Siddharaj Jaisinh]].
Will be surpassed in near future,
O Mother!
The night has over and the omen are good,
the noon will beseem.
People dance with [[Narmada]].
Victory to proud Gujarat.
