Victory to my Maharashtra, roar! my Maharashtra!

We do not fear thee at all, O Thundering Sky.
We boldly reply to the [[Mughal Empire|Sultans of above]].
The lion of the [[Western Ghats|Sahyadri]] roareth, King [[Shivaji]] and King [[Sambhaji]],
From every valley clamoureth "My Maharashtra!"

Victory to my Maharashtra, roar! my Maharashtra!
Victory to my Maharashtra!

Inscriptions of pride he carved on his [[Vertisol|black chest]],
His iron fists battled in lethal fights.
In the heat of poverty he burned; in the sweat of toil he bathed,
He struggled for the nation's glory; he defendeth the throne of Delhi – my Maharashtra!

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 (1966–2022)|Shiv Sena]] [[Uddhav Thackeray]] at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", [[Bandra]], in Mumbai.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-04-25/mumbai/28540726_1_sena-tunes-shiv-sena-thackeray-residence-matoshree |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707010853/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-04-25/mumbai/28540726_1_sena-tunes-shiv-sena-thackeray-residence-matoshree |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 July 2012 |title=Sena tunes in to Dilse Maratha Hai |date=25 Apr 2004 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=3 Feb 2012 }}</ref> 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|date=January 2012}} 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".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/47842/ |title=Magic Numbers |newspaper=[[Indian Express]] |date=30 May 2004 |access-date=3 Feb 2012}}</ref>
