Anthem

නමදිමු බැති ගී කුසුම් පුදා
අනුරාපුර මැදි විදුහල් මාතා //
සිසු දරුවන් සැම යහමග හරවා
මොහදුර සැම පළවා
භේදය දුරලා ප්‍රේමය වඩවා
එක මවකගේ දරු කැළ ලෙසිනා
නමදිමු බැති ගී කුසුම් පුදා
අනුරාපුර මැදි විදුහල් මාතා //
රන්වැලි මහා සෑ සිරිමහ බෝධී
ඉසුරුමුණිය ආදී
මනහර දාගැබ් කැටයම් කුළුණු
දිස්වෙයි රජරට අති රමණී
නමදිමු බැති ගී කුසුම් පුදා
අනුරාපුර මැදි විදුහල් මාතා //
දේවන පෑතිස් ගාමිණි ගජබා
ආදී හෙළ දරුවෝ
සිංහල ජාතිය ආගම උදෙසා
දිව රෑ වෙහෙසව වැඩ කෙරුවෝ
නමදිමු බැති ගී කුසුම් පුදා
අනුරාපුර මැදි විදුහල් මාතා //
දේවන පෑතිස් ගාමිණි ගජබා
ආදී හෙළ දරුවෝ
ඒ හෙළ විරුවන් කිත් යස නංවූ
ජයබිම සැදී විදුහල් මාතා
නමදිමු බැති ගී කුසුම් පුදා
