ae bharat maa tere charno me
shish chadhane aaye hai
jitni bhi apne paas bachi
wo saans chadhane aaye hai
ae bharat maa tere charno me
shish chadhane aaye hai
jitni bhi apne paas bachi
wo saans chadhane aaye hai
ye jaan hatheli par lekar

kuch kar dikhlane aaye hai
hai kafan ka napa jebo me
hum mar mit jane aaye hai
lo maut se o
lo maut se pran ka taula
dildar ke liye
dil diwano ka dola dildar ke liye
dil diwano ka dola dildar ke liye
ho mera rang de ho
ho mera rang de basanti chola
mere pyar ke liye

To Bharat Mata's feet, we come,
To lay our heads, overcome.
Each breath that lingers, ours to give,
A final offering, that we may live.
To Bharat Mata's feet, we come,
To lay our heads, overcome.
Each breath that lingers, ours to give,
A final offering, that we may live.
With life held fragile, in our hand,
To make a mark upon the land.
Though shrouds are measured in our pockets deep,
To die for her, our promise we will keep.
Oh, Death, we weigh our lives against your scale,
For our beloved, our hearts will not fail.
The hearts of lovers, for their love they sway,
The hearts of lovers, for their love they sway.
Oh, color me,
Oh, color me, in saffron's fiery hue,
For my beloved, my love is true.
