saans hai jab talak na rukenge kadam
chal pade hai to manzil ko pa jayenge
jaan pyari nahi hai vatanse hume
marte marte sabhiko bata jayenge
ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan

wo jawani jo khu ko jalati nahi
wo vatan ke liye rang laati nahi
daag lekar gulami ka kyun hum jiye
soch kar raato ko nind aati nahi
saans hai jab talak na rukenge kadam
chal pade hai to manzil ko pa jayenge
jaan pyari nahi hai vatanse hume
marte marte sabhiko bata jayenge
ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan

hamne taiy kar liya humne le li kasam
khun se apne sichenge apna chaman
hamne taiy kar liya humne le li kasam
khun se apne sichenge apna chaman
jaan lekar hatheli pe hum chal diye
baandhakar sar pe nikle hai hum ye kafan
saans hai jab talak na rukenge kadam
chal pade hai to manzil ko pa jayenge
jaan pyari nahi hai vatanse hume
marte marte sabhiko bata jayenge
ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan
ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan ae vatan

While breath remains, our steps shall never cease,
Embarked upon this path, we'll find release.
Life holds no worth compared to homeland's grace,
Dying, we'll proclaim it to the human race.
O homeland, homeland, homeland, homeland.

That youth which fails to ignite the blood's fire,
Bears no true color for our heart's desire.
Why live with slavery's mark upon our brow?
This thought denies us rest, we know not how.
While breath remains, our steps shall never cease,
Embarked upon this path, we'll find release.
Life holds no worth compared to homeland's grace,
Dying, we'll proclaim it to the human race.
O homeland, homeland, homeland, homeland.

We have resolved, we have sworn our sacred vow,
With our own blood, we'll nurture the land now.
We have resolved, we have sworn our sacred vow,
With our own blood, we'll nurture the land now.
Life grasped within the palm, we stride ahead,
Wearing our shrouds, for freedom's cause we're led.
While breath remains, our steps shall never cease,
Embarked upon this path, we'll find release.
Life holds no worth compared to homeland's grace,
Dying, we'll proclaim it to the human race.
O homeland, homeland, homeland, homeland.
O homeland, homeland, homeland, homeland.
