ae mere pyaare vatan, ae mere bichhade chaman
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan
ae mere pyaare vatan, ae mere bichhade chaman
tujh pe dil quraban

tere daaman se jo aaye un hawao ko salaam
tere daaman se jo aaye un hawao ko salaam
chum lu main us zuban ko jisape aaye tera naam
sabse pyari subah teri sabse rangi teri shaam
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan

maa ka dil banake kabhi sine se lag jata hai tu
maa ka dil banake kabhi sine se lag jata hai tu
aur kabhi nanhi si beti ban ke yaad aata hai tu
jitna yaad aata hai mujhko
utna tadapata hai tu tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan

chhod kar teri zamin ko dur aa pahunche hai ham
chhod kar teri zamin ko dur aa pahunche hai ham
phir bhi hai ye hi tamanna tere zarro ki qasam
ham jaha paida hue us jagah pe hi nikale dam
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan

Oh, my beloved homeland, my garden, now estranged,
My heart, upon you, is offered.
You are my only desire, my only honor,
You are my very life.
Oh, my beloved homeland, my garden, now estranged,
My heart, upon you, is offered.

To the breezes that rise from your embrace, a salutation,
To the breezes that rise from your embrace, a salutation.
I would kiss the tongue that utters your name.
Your mornings, the sweetest, your evenings, the most vibrant hue,
My heart, upon you, is offered.
You are my only desire, my only honor,
You are my very life.

Like a mother's heart, you embrace my chest at times,
Like a mother's heart, you embrace my chest at times.
And sometimes, like a small daughter, you come to mind,
The more I remember you,
The more you make me yearn,
My heart, upon you, is offered.
You are my only desire, my only honor,
You are my very life.

Leaving your soil, we have traveled far,
Leaving your soil, we have traveled far.
Yet, this is our only wish, by your dust I swear,
That we may breathe our last breath where we were born.
My heart, upon you, is offered.
You are my only desire, my only honor,
You are my very life.
