chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nai kahani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nayi kahani

aaj purani zanjiro ko tod chuke hai
kya dekhe us manzil ko jo chhod chuke hai
chand ke dar par ja pahucha hai aaj zamana
naye jagat se hum bhi nata jod chuke hai
naya khun hai nai umange ab hai nai javani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nayi kahani
hum hindustani hum hindustani

hum ko kitne tajmhal hai or banane
kitne hi ajanta hum ko or sajane
abhi palatna hai rukh kitne dariyao ka
kitne pavrt raho se hai aaj hatane
naya khun hai nai umagne ab hai nai javani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nayi kahani
hum hindustani hum hindustani

aao mehanat ko apna iman banaye
apne hatho ko apna bhagavan banaye
ram ki is dharati ko gautam ki bhumi ko
sapano se bhi pyara hidustan banaye
naya khun hai nai umange ab hai nai javani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nayi kahani
hum hindustani hum hindustani

har zarra hai moti ankh uthakar dekho
mitti me sona hai hath badhakar dekho
sone ki ye ganga hai chandi ki jamuna
chaho to patthar pe dhan ugakar dekho
naya khun hai nai umange ab hai nai javani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
hum hindustani hum hindustani
chhodo kal ki bate kal ki bat purani
naye daur me likhege mil kar nayi kahani
hum hindustani hum hindustani

Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.
Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.

The chains of the past, now shattered and gone,
Why gaze at a horizon already withdrawn?
To the moon's veiled door, the world has now flown,
We embrace new worlds, seeds newly sown.
New blood flows, new fervor, youth's vibrant plea,
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free.

How many Taj Mahals must our hands now create?
How many Ajantas, our spirits must elevate?
The courses of rivers, we must now re-steer,
Mountains must crumble, the path to make clear.
New blood flows, new fervor, youth's vibrant plea,
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free.

Let labor be our faith, our truth, our creed,
Let our hands be the gods that plant the seed.
This land of Rama, of Buddha's hallowed ground,
Let's build a Hindustan, surpassing dreams found.
New blood flows, new fervor, youth's vibrant plea,
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free.

Each grain, a pearl, if you but lift your gaze,
In the earth, gold sleeps, awaiting your raise.
This is a Ganga of gold, a Jamuna of sheen,
Even on stone, let the harvest convene.
New blood flows, new fervor, youth's vibrant plea,
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
We are of Hindustan, eternally.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free,
Leave behind yesterday's whispers, tales of old,
In a new dawn, a new story unfolds.
We are of Hindustan, we are the free.
