is mitti ka karz tha mujhpe
maine apna karz chukaya
kiya nahi ahsan kisi pe
maine apna farz nibhaya
maine iski aan bachai ispe jiwan wara hai
aane walo ise sambhalo
ab ye desh tumhara hai
ab ye desh tumhara hai
ab ye desh tumhara hai

ab tum din ka suraj dekho
ab tum din ka suraj dekho
apni ho gai raat
apni ho gai raat
apni ho gai raat

bhulega naa ye jahaa
kuch esa kar jayegen
apne vtan ke liye
hum hans ke mar jaayege

The debt of dust, a burden mine,
I paid the price, my offering.
No favor asked, no line to cross,
My duty done, my spirit's spring.
I saved her honor, life I gave,
To those who follow, now her keep,
This land is yours, a sacred grave,
This land is yours, in slumber deep.
This land is yours, your silent sleep.

Now gaze upon the sun's bright face,
Now gaze upon the sun's bright face,
Our night has come, the final trace,
Our night has come, with fading grace,
Our night has come.

This world will never quite forget,
A mark we'll leave, a love so grand,
For our homeland, without regret,
We'll laugh in death, across the land.
