thodi si chaahat hai
thodi si haan shikaayat hai
anjaani si uljhan hai
apni si raahat hai
dhundhu use mera desh hai
haan desh hai
paaun use mera desh hai

sabki apni bhasha bhi hai
aasha aur niraasha bhi hai
aisa bhi hai waisa bhi
ye hi mera desh hai
ek arab insaan yaha hai
sabka ek bhagwaan yaha hai
tera bhi hai mera bhi
ye hi mera desh hai
itne saare log yaha hai
phir bhi dil ko chain kaha hai
chhodo yaaro jo bhi hai
ye hi mera desh hai

A whisper of longing,
A murmur of what's wrong,
A tangled, unknown thread,
Comfort that’s always been bred.
I search for it, my land it is,
Yes, my land it is.
To find it, my homeland it is.

Each tongue, a story untold,
Hopes that bloom, and spirits grow cold.
Like this, like that, it weaves and bends,
This, my homeland, transcends.
A billion souls, a vibrant hue,
One God, for me and you.
Yours, mine, in every guise,
This, my homeland, that never dies.
So many faces, a crowded space,
Yet peace still eludes time and place.
Forget it all, whatever may be,
This, my homeland, eternally.
