ghor andhakaar ho, chal rahee bayaar ho,
aaj dvaar dvaar par yah diyaa bujhe naheen.
yah nisheeth kaa diyaa laa rahaa vihaan hai.
shakti kaa diyaa huaa, shakti ko diyaa huaa,
bhakti se diyaa huaa, yah svatantrataadiyaa,
ruk rahee n naav ho, zor kaa bahaav ho,
aaj gangadhaar par yah diyaa bujhe naheen!
yah svadesh kaa diyaa praaN ke samaan hai!
yah ateet kalpanaa, yah vineet praarthanaa,
yah puneet bhaavanaa, yah anant saadhanaa,
shaanti ho, ashaanti ho, yuddh, sandhi kraanti ho,
teer par, kachhaar par, yah diyaa bujhe naheen!
desh par, samaaj par, jyoti kaa vitaan hai!
teenachaar phool hai, aasapaas dhool hai
baa(n)s hai, babool hai, ghaas ke dukool hai,
vaayu bhee hilor se, phoo(n)k de, jhakor de,
kabr par, majaar par, yah diyaa bujhe naheen!
yah kisee shaheed kaa puNy praaNadaan hai!
jhoomajhoom badaliyaa(n), choomachoom bijaliyaa(n)
aa(n)dhiyaa(n) uThaa raheen, halachalen machaa raheen!
laḌ rahaa svadesh ho, shaanti kaa n lesh ho
kShudr jeetahaar par, yah diyaa bujhe naheen!
yah svatantr bhaavanaa kaa svatantr gaan hai!
