saare jahan ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
saare jahan ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
jeene ke laakhon sahare yahan
bas ek hi to sahara nahin sahara nahin

agar koi duniya se ruthe to kya
koi phool khilte hi toote to kya
agar koi duniya se ruthe to kya
koi phool khilte hi toote to kya
sitare hazaaron hai aakash par
bas ek hi to sitara nahin sitara nahin
saare jahan ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
jeevan mitana hai diwanapan
koi pyar jeevan se pyara nahin

kisi ke iradon ke khatir jiyo
kisi ki muradon ke khatir jiyo
kisi ke iradon ke khatir jiyo
kisi ki muradon ke khatir jiyo
hai yaadon mein jeena bhi to zindagi
jeena tumhe kyo gawara nahin gawara nahin
saare jahan ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
jeevan mitana hai diwanapan
koi pyar jeevan se pyara nahin

kaisi udasi ye kaisa hai sokh
jeevan mein aate hai jate hai log
kaisi udasi ye kaisa hai sokh
jeevan mein aate hai jate hai log
naya koi saathi khara rahon me
use pyar se kyo pukara nahin pukara nahin
saare jahan ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
jeevan mitana hai diwanapan
koi pyar jeevan se pyara nahin
jeene ke lakhon sahare yahan
bas ek hi to sahara nahin sahara nahin

The world's trust, a sacred keep,
This life of yours, it isn't yours to weep.
The world's trust, a sacred keep,
This life of yours, it isn't yours to steep.
A million supports the living find,
But one support, no, it's left behind, left behind.

If the world turns its back, what then?
If a bloom breaks, its life's end?
If the world turns its back, what then?
If a bloom breaks, its life's end?
Thousands of stars adorn the sky,
But one lone star, no, it can't comply, can't comply.
The world's trust, a sacred keep,
This life of yours, it isn't yours to sleep.
To end life, a madness, a burning brand,
No love is dearer than life in this land.

For another's purpose, let your spirit rise,
For another's wishes, open up your eyes.
For another's purpose, let your spirit rise,
For another's wishes, open up your eyes.
To live in memories, a life so true,
Why is living not pleasing to you, to you?
The world's trust, a sacred keep,
This life of yours, it isn't yours to creep.
To end life, a madness, a burning brand,
No love is dearer than life in this land.

What sorrow deep, what shade of grief,
In life, people come, in brief relief.
What sorrow deep, what shade of grief,
In life, people come, in brief relief.
A new companion waits on the way,
Why is their love you cannot say, cannot say?
The world's trust, a sacred keep,
This life of yours, it isn't yours to leap.
To end life, a madness, a burning brand,
No love is dearer than life in this land.
A million supports the living find,
But one support, no, it's left behind, left behind.
