nikal pade hain khuli sadak par
apana seena taane, apana seena taane
manzil kahaan kahaan rukana hai
upar vaala jaane, upar vaala jaane

badhate jaayen ham sailaani
jaise ek dariya toofaani
sar pe laal topi rusi
phir bhi dil hai hindustaani

mera juta hai japani
ye patloon englishtani
sar pe laal topi rusi
phir bhi dil hai hindustaani
mera juta hai japani

We march forth now, upon an open road,
Our chests held high, a spirit bestowed.
Where lies the end, where shall we rest?
That knowing rests with the Divine, blessed.

We surge ahead, like pilgrims bold,
A river's tempest, stories told.
Red Russian caps upon our head,
Yet hearts of Hindustan are bred.

My shoes are from the land of dawn,
My trousers, English, newly born.
Red Russian caps upon our head,
Yet hearts of Hindustan are bred.
My shoes are from the land of dawn.
