vatan valo vatan na bech dena
ye dharati ye gagan na bech dena
shahido ne jan di hai vatan ke vaste
shahido ke kafan na bech dena
dosto sathiyo ham chale de chale apana dil apani ja
taki jita rahe apana hindusta
ham jiye ham mare is vatan ke lie is chaman ke lie
taki khilata rahe gul hamesha yaha
dosto sathiyo

dosto se milo dosto ki tarah
dushmano se milo dushmano ki tarah
jina kya marana kya buzadilo ki tarah
kah raha ye vatan ye zami asama
man ne apane bete diye naujava sochakar aur kya
taki jita rahe apana hindusta

matr^i bhumi ka dil tu nahi todana
desh ke dushmano ko nahi chhod ana
marana jina tujhe is vatan ke lie
farz apana nibha de aman ke lie
naz tujhape kare ye zami asama dete hai ye dua
taki jita rahe apana hindusta

desh ke nam apani javani likhi
ye javani hai kya zidagani likhi
bas yaha tak ki hamane kahani likhi
ab likho isake age ki tum dasta
ab likho isake age ki tum dasta farz kar do ada
taki jita rahe apana hindusta
dosto sathiyo ham chale de chale apana dil apani ja
taki jita rahe apana hindusta

O, countrymen, do not sell your homeland,
Do not sell this earth, nor the sky above.
The martyrs gave their lives for the nation's sake,
Do not sell the shrouds of those who loved.
Friends, companions, let us give our hearts, our lives,
So that our Hindustan may ever thrive.
We live, we die, for this land, this garden,
So that the rose may always bloom alive.
Friends, companions...

Meet your friends as friends should meet,
Meet your foes as foes, complete.
What is life, what is death, like cowards' feet?
This land, this sky, they both repeat.
The mother gave her sons, young and bold, dreaming,
So that our Hindustan may keep on beaming.

Do not break the heart of the motherland,
Leave not the enemies of the nation to stand.
To live and die for this soil you're bound,
Fulfill your duty for peace profound.
The earth and sky, they gaze on you with pride,
And give this prayer, deep inside:
So that our Hindustan may never cease.

We wrote our youth in the nation's name,
What is this youth? A life aflame.
We have penned the tale, the same,
Now write beyond, a story you can claim.
Now write beyond, fulfill your role,
So that our Hindustan may make us whole.
Friends, companions, let us give our hearts, our lives,
So that our Hindustan may ever thrive.
