Ye desh hai veer jawanon ka

Ye desh hai veer jawanon ka, albelon ka mastanon ka
is desh ka yaaro, is desh ka yaaro kia kehna
ye desh hai dunia ka gehnaa

yahan chauri chhaati veeron ki
yahan bholi shaklen heeron ki
yahan gaate hain raanjhe, yahan gaate hain raanjhe masti mein
masti mein jhomeinN basti mein

pairon mein bahaaren jholon ki
raahon mein kataaren phoolon ki
yahan hansta hai saawan, yahan hansta hai saawan baalon mein
khilti hain kaliyaan gaalon mein

kahin dangal shokh jawanon ke
kahin kartab teer kamaanon ke
yahan nit nit mele, yahan nit nit mele sajte hain
nit Dhol aur taashe bajte hain

dilbar ke liye dildaar hain ham
dushman ke liye talwaar hain ham
maidaan mein agar ham! maidaan mein agar ham Dat jaen
mushkil hai ki peechhe hat jaen
