jalte bhi gaye kehte bhi gye
azadi ke parwane jina to
usi ka jina hai
jo marna vatan pe jina

ae vatan ae vatan humko teri kasam
teri raho me jaan tak luta jayenge
phul kya chiz hai
tere kadmo pe hum bhent siro
ki Chadha jayenge
ae vatan humko teri kasam
teri raho me jaan tak luta jayenge
ae vatan ae vatan

seh chuke hai sitam hum bohot ger ke
ab karenge har ek var ka samna
seh chuke hai sitam hum bohot ger ke
ab karenge har ek var ka samna
jhuk sakenge na ab sarfaroso ka sar
chahe ho khoon talwar ka samna
chahe ho khoon talwar ka samna
sar pe bandhe kafan hum to haste hue
maut ko bhi gale se laga jayenge
ae vatan ae vatan

They burned, yet they spoke,
O, the moths of freedom, ablaze,
Life's true essence, a sacrifice,
To lay down lives in the nation's ways.

O homeland, homeland, we swear,
Upon your paths, our lives we'll cast,
What are flowers before your feet?
Our heads, as offerings, amassed.
O homeland, homeland, we swear,
Upon your paths, our lives we'll cast.
O homeland, homeland.

We have endured the world's harsh hand,
Now, we meet each blow with might,
We have endured the world's harsh hand,
Now, we meet each blow with might,
The heads of the self-sacrificing, unbowed,
Though the bloody sword should fight.
Though the bloody sword should fight.
Wrapped in shrouds, we'll laugh and rise,
Embracing death, with eyes alight.
O homeland, homeland.
