Lyrics

Mere desh kee dharatee, sona ugale ugale hire motee
Mere desh kee dharatee

Bailo ke gale me jab ghungaru, jivan kaa raag sunaate hai
Gham kos dur ho jaata hai, khushiyo ke kanwal muskaate hai
Sunake raahat kee aawaaje, yu lage kahee shahanayee baje
Aate hee mast bahaaro ke, dulhan kee tarah har khet saje

Jab chalate hain iss dharatee pe hal, mamata angadaayeeya letee hai
Kyo naa puje iss mantee ko, jo jivan kaa sukh detee hai
Iss dharatee pe jis ne janam liya, usane hee paaya pyaar teraa
Yaha apana paraaya koyee nahee, hain sab pe man upakaar teraa

Yeh baag hain gautam naanak kaa, khilate hain aman ke phul yaha
Gandhee subhash taigor tilak aise hain chaman ke phul yaha
Rang hara hareesing nalawe se, rang laal hain laal bahaadur se
Rang bana basantee bhagatasing, rang aman kaa wir jawaahar se
