Vande Mataram: Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind issued fatwa against Vande Mataram lyrics
Vande Mataram – Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind issued fatwa against Vande Mataram lyrics at its National Convention saying some of its lines were against the religious principles of Islam. A resolution asking Muslims not to sing the National Song, was adopted at the National Convention of the Jamiat at Darul Uloom Deoband.
The decision has aroused sentiments of opposition party BJP. Ironically, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram was present at the convention.
Muslim clerics had argued that ‘Vande Mataram’ means ‘Mother India, I bow to thee!’ They said that it would be against the principles of Islam to bow before somebody other than Allah. Moulana Muizuddin of the Jamiat said, “We are Indians and will remain so forever without singing Vande Mataram.”
Vande Mataram lyrics
वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
शस्यश्यामलां मातरम् |
शुभ्र ज्योत्स्ना पुलकित यामिनीम्
फुल्ल कुसुमित ध्रुमदलशोभिनीम्,
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीम्
सुखदां वरदां मातरम् ||

Vande Matram Translation in English
My obeisance to Mother India!
With flowing beneficial waters
Filled with choicest fruits
With cooling breeze
Green with the harvest
O mother! My obeisance to you!
Ecstatic moonlit nights
The plants blooming with flowers
Sweet speaker of sweet languages
Fount of blessings,
Mother, I salute you!
