The song Vande Mataram composed by Bankimchandra Chatterjee has an equal status with jana-gana-mana. The political occasion when it was sung was the 1896 session of the INC.
Vande Mataram,
English translation of the stanza rendered by Sri Aurobindo.
I bow to thee, Mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited,
cool with the winds of the south,
dark with the crops of the harvests,
The Mother !
Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,
Her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom, sweet of laughter, sweet speech,
The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.

Sujalam, Suphalam, Malayajashitalam,
Shasyashyamalam, Mataram!
Shubhrajyothsna pulakitayamini,
Phullakusumita drumadala shobhinim,
Shubasinim sumadhura bhashinim,
Sukadam varadam, Mataram!
