meri jan se pyare tujhko tera desh pukara ja
na bhaiya na beta, ja mere yara ja
dekho veer jawano apne, khun pe ye ilzam na aye
dekho veer jawano apne, khun pe ye ilzam na aye
maa kahe ke mere bete wakt bada tufan na aye
dekho veer jawano apne khun pe ye ilzam na aye

My dearest, your homeland's call rings true,
Not brother, nor son, but friend, I bid you.

See, brave hearts, let no stain be,
On the crimson tide of your decree.
Watch, brave hearts, let no blame reside,
Lest your mother weep, "My son, the storm, abide!"
See, brave hearts, let no stain be.
