Lyrics
जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा, गर्जा महाराष्ट्र माझा रेवा वरदा, कृष्ण कोयना, भद्रा गोदावरी एकपणाचे भरती पाणी मातीच्या घागरी भीमथडीच्या तट्टांना या यमुनेचे पाणी पाजा जय जय महाराष्ट्र माझा ... भीती न आम्हा तुझी मुळी ही गडगडणार्या नभा अस्मानाच्या सुलतानीला जवाब देती जीभा सह्याद्रीचा सिंह गर्जतो, शिवशंभू राजा दरीदरीतून नाद गुंजला महाराष्ट्र माझा काळ्या छातीवरी कोरली अभिमानाची लेणी पोलादी मनगटे खेळती खेळ जीवघेणी दारिद्र्याच्या उन्हात शिजला, निढ़ळाच्या घामाने भिजला देशगौरवासाठी झिजला दिल्लीचेही तख्त राखितो, महाराष्ट्र माझाNew version
The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album Dilse Maratha Hai by singer – composer Avdhoot Gupte. The album was released by president of Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", Bandra, Mumbai. 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.
The new version had to face some criticism for use of swear words not considered appropriate in the song. In defense Gupte said that they were added "to make it peppy".
