o ye desh hai veer jawano ka
albelo ka mastano ka
is desh ka yaaro hoy
is desh ka yaaro kya kahna
ye desh hai duniya ka gahna

o yaha chaudi chaati veero ki
yaha bholi shakle heero ki
yaha gaate hai raanjhe hoy
yaha gaate hai raanjhe masti me
masti hai jhume basti me

o pedo pe bahare jhulo ki
raaho me kataare phulo ki
yaha hasta hai saawan hoy
yaha hasta hai saawan baalo me
khilti hai kaliya gaalo me

o kahi dangal surkh jawano ke
kahi kartab teer kamano ke
yaha nit nit mele hoy
yaha nit nit mele sajte hai
nit dhol aur tashe bajte hai

o dilbar ke liye dildaar hai ham
dushman ke liye talwar hai ham
maindaan me agar ham
maindaan me agar ham dat jaaye
mushkil hai ke piche hat jaaye

O, this land of valiant souls,
Of the carefree and the bold,
Friends, what of this land to tell?
Oh, what of this land to tell?
It is the world's most precious gem.

O, here the warriors' chests expand,
Here, innocence like diamonds stand,
Here the Ranjhas sing their tales,
Here the Ranjhas sing with glee,
With mirth, the whole village sways.

O, in the trees, the swings of spring,
In the paths, the flower's offering,
Here the monsoon laughs aloud,
Here the monsoon laughs in hair,
And blossoms bloom on rosy cheeks.

O, here the playful wrestlers fight,
Here the arrows take their flight,
Here, each day, a fair is made,
Here, each day, a fair is set,
With drums and cymbals, music played.

O, for lovers, we're the hearts that yearn,
For foes, the swords that fiercely burn,
If in the field, we stand our ground,
If in the field, we stand as one,
To yield, a task almost undone.
