aaj jab chunaav naheen hain,
aaj phir se chunatee hoo(n) --
is desh ko main apane man men
kyaa gaDh़oo(n)gee?
kaun se desh kee naagarik banoo(n)gee?
savaal khud se karatee hoo(n)|
jis desh men janm huaa,
jis desh kee main beTee hoo(n),
vah dveSh kaa paryaay naheen,
sankalp phir se karatee hoo(n)|
kuchh sangyaa visheSh men simaTee
dharm kee paribhaaShaae(n),
gat peeD़aa kee phir se uThatee
dhundh kee pipaasaae(n) --
inase pare banaa yah desh|
raajaa prajaa kaal jo bhee
kar len, yah desh
rahegaa kaayam --
dushaalaa oDh kisee bhee
sangyaa visheSh kaa,
athavaa tyaj kar,
jaise bhee too aanaa chaahe,
svaagat teraa karatee hoo(n),
desh aisaa gaDh़tee hoo(n)|
