I couldn't go back to the thread on my archaic AOL news browser. I believe
"Sare Jahan Se" is in Hindi and Vande Mataram is in Sanskrit. Can anyone post
the lyrics of "Sare Jahan Se?" Thanks.

============================
In a coverless book of mine vande mataram is listed as ragam "kaphi," a janya
of 22nd mela Kharaharapriya. The lyrics go as:

vande mataram
sujalam suphalam
malayaja seetalam
sasya syamalam
mataram
vande mataram
subra jyotna pulakita yamineem
pulla kusumita drumadala sobhineem
suhasinim sumadhura bashinim
sukhadam varadam mataram ||vande mataram||

trimsatkoti kantha kala kala ninadakarale
dwitramsakoti bhujhirdhrata khara khara vale
kadhyanti janastwam katham mataramabalam
bahubaladharinim ripudala varinim namami taruneem mataram ||vande mataram||

Here is what I can remember. I am not sure if it is complete and correct....
-Prasad

Saare jahaan se achha hindustan hamaara hamaara |saare jahaan see achha|
hum bul bulen hai iski ye gulisthan humaara humaara|saare jahaan se achha|

1.parbat hai sabse ooncha hum saaya aasman ka
vo santhree humaara vo daastan humaara humaara||saare jahaan se achha||

2.majhab nahi sikhaatha aapas me bire rakhna
hindi hai hum vathan ki hindustan hamaara hamaara||saare jahaan se achha||

Sare Jahan Se is an Urdu composition by Md. Iqbal - not exactly Hindi.

Whether Vande Mataram us pure Sanskrit is arguable. I dont know enough Sanskrit
to say this with certainty. AFAIK, it is written in Bengali 'Suddha Bhasa', a
style commonly used by Bengali authors in the last century (and much of this
century). It is quite close to Sanskrit. Different authors used different levels
of the language in their writing. With Tagore, the level was closer to the
'Chalit Bhasa' (spoken language), with Bankim, it was closer to Sanskrit. In
fact, Bankim's writings are difficult to understand sometimes even for a person
who know Bengali well. This song is a part of the Bengali novel 'Ananda Math'.

Interestingly, they had this song in a Bengali textbook in high school.
