Nanha munna rahi hoon, desh ka sipahi hoon
Bolo mere sang, Jai Hind, Jai Hind, Jai Hind
Jai Hind, Jai Hind
Raste pe chalunga na dar-dar ke
Chahe mujhe jeena pade mar-mar ke
Manzil se pehle na lunga kahin dam
Aage hi aage badhaunga kadam
Dahine baen dahine baen, tham!
Nanha munna rahi hoon……

Dhoop mein pasina me bahauga jahan
Hare-bhare khet lahraenge vahan
Dharti pe paake na paayenge janam
Aage hi aage badhaunga kadam
Dahine baen dahine baaen, tham!
Nanha munna rahi hoon……

Naya hai zamana meri nai hai dagar
Desh ko banaunga mashino ka nagar
Bharat kisi se rahega nahi kam
Aage hi aage badhaunga kadam
Dahine baen dahine baen, tham!
Nanha munna rahi hoon……

Bada ho ke desh ka sahara banoongaa
Duniya ki aankhon ka taara banoongaa
Rakhunga uncha tiranga paracham
Aage hi aage badhaunga kadam
Dahine baen dahine baen, tham!
Nanha munna rahi hoon……

Shanti ki nagari hai mera ye vatan
Sabako sikhaunga me pyaar ka chalan
Duniya mein girane na dunga kahin bam
Aage hi aage badhaunga kadam
Dahine baen dahine baen, tham!
Nanha Munna Rahi Hoon……

Sare jahan se accha Hindostan hamara
Hum bulbulain hai iss ki yeh gulsitan hamara
Sare jahan se accha

Ghurbat men hon agar ham rahta hai dil vatan men
Samjho vahin hamen bhi dil hain jahan hamara

Parbat voh sab se uncha hamsaya asman ka
Voh santari hamara voh pasban hamara

Godi men khelti hain is ki hazaron nadiya
Gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e-janan hamara

Aye ab raud Ganga voh din hen yad tujhko
Utara tere kinare jab karvaan hamara

Mazhab nahin sikhata apas men bayr rakhna
Hindvi hai ham vatan hai Hindostan hamara

Yunan o misr o roma sab mil gaye jahan se
Ab tak magar hai baqi nam o nishan hamara

Kuch bat hai keh hasti milati nahin hamari
Sadiyon raha hai dushman daur e zaman hamara

Iqbal koi meharam apna nahin jahan men
Malum kya kisi ko dard e nihan hamara

Sare jahan se accha Hindostan hamara
Hum bulbulain hai is ki yeh gulsitan hamara

Jo mere saath thi mujhko tadpa thi rulati

Ek nazar jab teri hoti hai pyaar ki
Duniya tab to meri chamke damke maheke re
Tera chehra sooraj jaisa chaand si thand hai pyaar mein

Tere paas hi main aa raha hoon
Apni baahein khol de
Zor se mujhko gale laga le
Mujhko phir voh pyaar de
Tu hi zindagi hai, tu hi meri mohabbat hai
Tere hi pairon mein jannat hai
Tu hi dil, tu jaan, amma

Maa tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam

Chhodo kal ki baaten, kal ki baat puraani
Ne daur men likhenge, mil kar ni kahaani
Hum hindustaani, hum hindustaani

Aj puraani zanjiron ko tod chuke hain
Kya dekhen us manzil ko jo chhod chuke hain
Chaand ke dar par ja pahuncha hai aj zamana
Naye jagat se ham bhi naata jod chuke hain
Naya khoon hai, nayi umange, ab hai nayi jawaani
Hum hindustaani …

Humko kitane Taj Mahal hain aur banaane
Kitane hain Ajanta hum ko aur sajaane
Abhi palatana hai rukh kitane dariyaaon ka
Kitane parwat raahon se hain aaj hataane
Naya khoon hai, nayi umange, ab hai nayi jawaani
Hum hindustaani …

Ao mehanat ko apna imaan banaayen
Apne haathon ko apna bhagawaan banaayen
Ram ki is dharati ko Gautam ki bhoomi ko
Sapnon se bhi pyaara hindustan banaayen
Naya khoon hai, nayi umange, ab hai nayi jawaani
Hum hindustaani …

Har zarra hai moti ankh uthhaakar dekho
Maati men sona hai haath badhaakar dekho
Sone ki ye Ganga hai chaandi ki Yamuna
Chaaho to patthar se dhaan ugaakar dekho
Naya khoon hai, nayi umange, ab hai nayi jawaani
Hum hindustaani …

Aye mere watan ke logo
Tumkhoob laga lo nara
Yeh subh din hain hum sabka
Leheron tiranga pyara

Pat mat bhoolon seema par
Veeron ne pran gawai
Kuch yaad unhe bhi kar lo
Kuch yaad unhe bhi kar lo
Jo laut ke ghar na aaye
Jo laut ke ghar na aaye

Aye mere watan ke logo
Zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
Jo shahid hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani

Jab ghayal hua Himalaya
Khatre mein padi aazadi
Jab tak thi saans lade woh
Jab tak thi saans lade woh
Phir apne laash bichadi

Sangeen Pe dhar kar maatha
So gaye amar balidani
Jo shahid hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani

Jab desh mein thi Diwali
Woh khel rahe the Holi
Jab hum baithe the gharon mein
Woh jhel rahe the goli

The dhanya javaan vo apne
Thi dhanya vo unki javaani
Jo shahid hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani

Koi Sikh, Koi Jatt, Maratha
Koi Sikh, Koi Jatt, Maratha
Koi Gurkha koi Madrasi
Koi Gurkha koi Madrasi

Sarhad par marne wala
Sarhad par marne wala
Har veer bharatwasi

Jo khoon gira parvat par
Woh khon tha hindustani
Jo shahid hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani

Thi khoon se lathpath kaaya
Phir banduk utha ke
Das das ko ek ne maara
Phir gir gaye hosh gawake

Jab ant samay aaya to
Jab ant samay aaya to
Keh gaye ke ab marte hain
Jab ant samay aaya to
Keh gaye ke ab marte hain

Khush rehna desh ke pyaron
Khush rehna desh ke pyaron
Ab hum to safar karte hain
Ab hum to safar karte hain

Kya log the woh dewane
Kya log the woh abhimani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Jara yaad karo qurbaani

Tum bhool na jaao unko
Is liye kahi yeh kahani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani

Jai Hind, jai Hind ki sena
Jai Hind, jai Hind ki sena
Jai Hind, jai Hind, jai Hind

Keh do sabhi ham ek hain
Aawaaz do ham ek hain

Yeh Pratap kaa vatan pala hai aajadee ke naaro pe
Kud padee thee yaha hajaro Padminiya angaaro pe
Bol rahee hai kan kan se kurbanee Rajasthan kee

Dekho mulk Maratho kaa yeh yaha Shivaji dola tha
Mughalo kee takat ko jisne talavaro pe tola tha
Har pavat pe aag lagi thi har patthar ek shola tha
Bolee Har Har Mahadev ki bachchaibachcha bola tha
Yaha Shivaji ne rakhi thi laj hamaree shan kee
Is mitti se tilak karo ye dharati hai balidan ki
Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram

Jaliyan Wala Bagh yeh dekho yaha chali thi goliya
Yeh mat puchho kisane khelee yaha khun ki holiya
Ek taraf banduke dan dan ek taraf thee toliya
Maranevale bol rahe the inakalab kee boliya
Yaha laga di bahano ne bhi bajee apani jan kee
Is mitti se tilak karo ye dharati hai balidan ki
Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram

Ye dekho Bangal yaha ka har chappa hariyala hai
Yaha ka bachcha-bachcha apane desh pe maranevala hai
Dhala hai isko bijali ne bhuchalo ne pala hai
Mutthi me tufan bandha hai aur pran me jvala hai
Janmabhumi hai yahi hamare vir Subhash mahan kee
Is mitti se tilak karo ye dharati hai balidan ki
Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram Vande Mataram

Lyrics:

Talwaron pe sar vaar diye

Angaaron mein jism jalaya hai

Tab jaake ke kahin humne sar pe

Yeh kesari rang sajaaya hai

Ae meri zameen afsoss nahi

Jo tere liye 100 dard sahe

Mehfooz rahe teri aan sada

Chaahe jaan meri ye rahe na rahe

O, meri zameen mehboob meri

Meri nas-nas mein tera ishq bahe

Pheeka na pade kabhi rang tera

Jismon se nikal ke khoon kahe

Teri mitti mein mill jawaan

Gul banke main khil jawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan

Teri kheton mein lehrawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh

Sarson se bhare khalihaan mere

Jahaan jhoom ke bhagra paa na saka

Aabad rahe wo gaaon mera

Jahaan laut ke wapas jaa na saka

Ho, watna ve, mere watna ve

Tera mera pyar nirala tha

Kurbaan hua teri asmat pe

Main kitna naseebon wala tha

Teri mitti mein mill jawaan

Gul banke main khil jawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan

Teri kheton mein lehrawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

O Heer meri tu hansti rahe

Teri aankh ghadi bhar nam na ho

Main marta tha jis mukhde pe

Kabhi uska ujaala kam na ho

O maai meri kya fiqr tujhe

Kyun aankh se dariya behta hai

Tu kehti thi tera chaand hoon main

Aur chaand hamesha rehta hai

Teri mitti mein mill jawaan

Gul banke main khil jawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan

Teri kheton mein lehrawaan

Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo

Kesari.
