Nepal’s national anthem has ranked third in the BBC’s list of ‘Rio 2016: The most amazing national anthems’. The new Nepal National Anthem is two stanzas long and each stanza has four lines. There are altogether 47 words in the new National Anthem. Nepal’s new national anthem represents the entire nation and all that is proud and glorious in it.
After the revolutions of spring 2006 against the monarchy, Nepal sought to replace its pro-monarchy anthem with a new one in a public contest. The winner, Pradeep Kumar Rai (writing under the pen name व्याकुल माइला (Byakul Maila)) was selected from 1,272 submissions.
Sayaun Thunga Phool Ka” (Nepali: सयौं थुँगा फूलका “Made of Hundreds of Flowers”) is the national anthem of Nepal. It was officially declared as the national anthem of Nepal on August 3, 2007 amid a ceremony held at the conference hall of National Planning Commission, inside the Singha Durbar, by the speaker of the interim parliament, Mr. Subash Chandra Nemwang.
Nepali Lyrics:
सयौं थुँगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भई फैलिएका, मेची-माहाकाली।
सयौं थुँगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भई फैलिएका, मेची-माहाकाली।
प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरूका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।
ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।
बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

English Translation:
Hundreds of flowers – Us, one garland – Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.
Hundreds of flowers – Us, one garland – Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.
A playground for millions of Nature’s gifts
By the blood of heroes, independent and immovable.
Land of knowledge, land of peace, Terai, hills, mountains
Indivisible – our beloved, motherland Nepal.
multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and with a large culture
progressive nation ours, oh great Nepal!
