Who are you that I should sing your praise?
A long, grand tale, India, my domain, it sways.
Delhi, the capital, I am an Indian soul.

That soldier, in war, he won the day, what did you?
Our enemies, he felled them, what did you pursue?
Indians drink the waters of Ganga and Jamuna's grace,
You guzzle bribes and liquor, what did you imbue?
That soldier, in war, he won the day, what did you?

This lion took a bullet, saved all our lives,
This lion took a bullet, where true courage thrives.
You dealt injustice, now seek their forgiving plea,
They are Ram and Sita, oh, what did you derive?
That soldier, in war, he won the day, what did you?
Indians drink the waters of Ganga and Jamuna's grace,
You guzzle bribes and liquor, what did you imbue?
That soldier, in war, he won the day, what did you?

It is not so easy to call oneself Indian,
It is not so easy, this precious human plan.
Why did God create humans, what do you comprehend?
Your life just drifted, what did you command?
Your life just drifted, what did you intend?
Indians drink the waters of Ganga and Jamuna's grace,
You guzzle bribes and liquor, what did you imbue?
That soldier, in war, he won the day, what did you?
