jis desh me mere piya
us desh me mera jiya
kitna mushkil hai dil ka lagana
pardes aana, pardes aana

ye duniya ek dulhan
ye duniya ek dulhan
dulhan ke maathe ki bindiya
ye mera india, i love my india
watan mera india, sajan mera india

ye duniya, ye duniya
ek dulhan, ek dulhan
ye duniya ek dulhan
dulhan ke maathe ki bindiya
ye mera india, i love my india
ye mera india, i love my india
karam mera india, dharam mera india
karam mera india, dharam mera india
watan mera india, sajan mera india

Where my beloved dwells, there my spirit resides,
A heart's embrace, a love that forever glides.
Oh, how hard to bind the soul's desire,
To wander afar, ignited by a fire.

This world, a bride arrayed in grace,
Upon her brow, a jeweled space.
This India of mine, my heart's deep plea,
I love my India, eternally.
My homeland, India, my love's embrace,
My India, my love, in this sacred space.

This world, this world, a whispered vow,
A bride adorned, as now as then, somehow.
This world, a bride in beauty's hold,
Upon her brow, stories yet untold.
This India of mine, my heart's deep plea,
I love my India, eternally.
This India of mine, my heart's deep plea,
I love my India, for all to see.
My deeds, my India, in karmic flow,
My faith, my India, where the true seeds grow.
My homeland, India, my love's sweet call,
My India, my love, embracing all.
