Watan hamara misaal mohabbat ki,
Todta hai deewaar nafrat ki,
Meri khush naseebi mili zindagi is chaman mein,
Bhula na sake koi iski khushbu saton janam mein.

Alag hai Bhasha, Dharm Jaat,
aur prant, bhesh, parivesh,
par hum sab ka ek hai gaurav,
Rashtradhwaj tiranga shrestha.

Mukut Himalaya, Hridaya me tiranga,
Aanchal me ganga layi hai,
Sab punya Kala aur Ratna lutane dekho
Bharat mata aai hai.
Happy Republic Day!

Woh shama jo kaam aaye anjuman ke liye,
Woh jazba jo qurban ho jaaye watan ke liye,
Rakhte hain hum woh hoslein bhi,
Jo mar mitey Hindustan ke liye.

Mere desh ke nau jawano,
Abhi tak markar dekha,
Bewafa sanam ke liye,
Duptta na mila hai kafan ke liye.
Ek Bar markar dekho watan ke liye,
Tiranga milega kafan ke liye.

Ye baat hawao ko bataye rakhna,
Roshni hogi chirago ko jalaye rakhna,
Lahu dekar jiski hifazat humne ki,
Aise Tirange ko sada dil me basaye rakhna.

Aayo sab milkar kare salam unhe,
Jinke hisse mein ye mukam aaya hai,
Bahut hi khush naseeb hai wo log,
Jinka khoon Desh ke kaam aaya hai.

Indian hone par kariye garv,
Milke manaayen loktantra ka parv,
Desh ke dushmanon ko milke harao,
Har ghar par TIRANGA lehrao.
