ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta
ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta

mitti ki hai jo khushbu, tu kaise bhulaayega
tu chaahe kahin jaaye, tu laut ke aayega
nayi-nayi raaho me, dabi-dabi aaho me
khoye-khoye dil se tere koyi ye kahega
ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta

tujhse zindagi hai ye keh rahi
sab toh paa liya, ab hai kya kami
yun toh saare sukh hai barse
par door tu hai apne ghar se
aa laut chal tu ab diwaane
jahaan koyi toh tujhe apna maane
awaaz de tujhe bulaane, wahi des
ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta

ye pal hai wahi, jis mein hai chhupi
puri ek sadi, saari zindagi
tu na poochh raaste mein kaahe
aaye hain is tarha do raahe
tu hi toh hai raah jo sujhaaye
tu hi toh hai ab jo ye bataaye
chaahe toh kis disha mein jaaye, wahi des
ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta

This land of your being, your true home, it calls,
A bond unbreakable, it enthralls.
This land of your being, your true home, it calls,
A bond unbreakable, it enthralls.

The scent of the soil, how could you forget?
Though you wander afar, you'll return, I bet.
In new paths you tread, in whispers unheard,
From a lost, yearning heart, a voice will be stirred.
This land of your being, your true home, it calls,
A bond unbreakable, it enthralls.

Life whispers to you, a gentle plea,
"You've gained all, yet what lack have you, you see?"
Though blessings rain down, a gilded array,
You're distant, estranged, from your home far away.
Return, wanderer, now, to the land of your soul,
Where belonging awaits, to make you whole.
The voice of your homeland, it beckons you near,
This land of your being, your true home, it calls,
A bond unbreakable, it enthralls.

These moments are the ones, in their depths concealed,
A century's worth, life's story revealed.
Don't question the path, the choices you've made,
Where two roads now meet, in sunlight and shade.
You are the guide, the compass within,
You are the voice that reveals where to begin.
Which way should you turn? To your homeland, you see,
This land of your being, your true home, it calls,
A bond unbreakable, it enthralls.
