ye sar rahe na tan rahe ye, sar rahe na tan rahe
magar tera vatan rahe, vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe

badhega tu kadam kadam tera vatan teri kasam
ye kah raha hai dam pe dam
vatan ki aan jeet le tu jindagi ko haar kar
tu jindagi ko haar kar
vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe

ye hausale ye himmaten, ye balbale ye taakaten
badal ke aaj kismate
khuda se chhin le chaman
gulo ko apne pyaar kar
gulo ko apne pyaar kar
vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe

ye gair ko salaam kyun ye jindagi gulaam kyun
ye kaid subah shaam kyun
kuchal de jaalimo ke sar ye bediyaan utaar kar
ye bediyaan utaar kar
vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe

sada hai har jawaan ki laga de baaji jaan ki
na aabru nishaan ki, kafan ko sar se baandh kar
tu dushmano pe waar kar
tu dushmano pe waar kar
vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe
magar tera vatan rahe, vatan ke sarfarosh
chal vatan pe sar nisaar kar
ye sar rahe na tan rahe

Though heads may fall, though bodies cease,
May your homeland ever find its peace.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.

With every step, your homeland thrives,
Your homeland, sworn, your soul survives.
This breath by breath proclaims,
Win honor, life’s lost games,
Win honor, life’s lost games.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.

These spirits bold, these wills so strong,
These powers that right the wrong,
Re-write the fates, now seize
A garden from the skies,
Love flowers with your eyes,
Love flowers with your eyes.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.

Why greet the foe, why live enslaved?
Why this dawn and dusk, forever caged?
Crush the tyrants’ heads,
Break free from all their threads,
Break free from all their threads.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.

Forever, every youth's call rings,
Wager your life, the homeland sings.
No shame, no fading signs,
With shrouds about your lines,
Attack the enemy’s designs,
Attack the enemy’s designs.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.
May your homeland ever find its peace.
O, warriors of the land,
On your homeland, place your hand,
Though heads may fall, though bodies cease.
