"Rastriya Gaan" ("May Glory Crown You, Courageous Sovereign" or "May Glory Crown Our Illustrious Sovereign"), adopted in 1962, is a homage to the ruler of Nepal and the country's national anthem. The music is composed by Bakhat Bahadur Budhapirthi in 1899, and the lyrics are by Sri Chakra Pani Chalise in 1924.
- Shri mān gumbhira nepāli prachanda pratāpi bhupati
- Shri pānch sarkār mahārājādhirāja ko sadā rahos unnati
- Rakhun chirāyu eeshale prajā phailiyos pukāraun jaya premale
- Hāmi nepāli sārāle.
- May glory crown you, courageous Sovereign,
- You, the gallant Nepalese,
- Shri Panch Maharajadhiraja, our glorious ruler,
- May he live for many years to come
- And may the number of his subjects increase.
- Let every Nepalese sing this with joy.
