phul khilega baagon mein jab tak gulab ka pyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par nehru naam tumhara
jab tak hai is jag mein chanda suraj ka ujiyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
humko hain dukh humne kho dala apna humjoli
jiske sath diwali thi jiske sang khele holi
kaun bada ab hum jaisa banke khilwaad karega
pyar karega jhagadega jhuthi takraar karega
khelega jag ke aangan mein jab tak bachpan pyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara

kaun mangaakar dega humko bhalu hathi chite
bachpan ke din apne to bachpan se pahle bite
kaun hume chitthi likhega pyar bhari bhasha mein
haay tumhe bhi hum likh pate kash aur tum jite
jab tak bachche muskayenge yun mirmal jaldhara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
wo muskan hamare hriday jitne wali
wo gussa jo sheetal hain jaise barkha matwali
wo ghudki jo sikhlati hain sabak yaad kar lena
wo baate jaise bikhraye phul phul ki dali
yaad aayengi jab tak dukh mein degi yaad sahara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara

phul khilega baagon mein jab tak gulab ka pyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
chale gaye ho lakin lagta hai tum yahi chhupe ho
jaise hum bachcho se aankh micholi khel rahe ho
bagiyan ke phulon mein bikhari hai muskan tumhari
hadiyon ke sang chalte ho prvat ke sath khade ho
jab tak baki hai duniya mein jo kuch bhi hain pyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
kabhi na bhulenge hum tumne itna pyar diya hain
kabhi na murjhayega tumne jo guljaar diya hain
hume tumhari yaadon ki saugandh ke hum bachche bhi
yogay banenge uske tumne jo sansaar diya hain
jab tak mehnat ke haathon jayega vishv sanwara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara

hum sachche insan bane hum dost bane viswasi
hum chahe jo hum pahle ho achchhe bharatvasi
kabhi na ho ab jung zameen par desh rahe sab milkar
jung ek hi ho duniya mein bhukh rog aur upkar
jab tak bahti hai is duniya mein ganga ki dhara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
phul khilega baagon mein jab tak gulab ka pyara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara
tab tak jinda hai dharti par chacha naam tumhara

While rose blooms in gardens, a fragrant embrace,
Nehru's name on earth will hold its hallowed space.
As long as sun and moon cast forth their golden ray,
Your cherished "Chacha" name will grace us every day.

Grief we bear, for a friend we've lost to time's decree,
With whom Diwali dawned, with whom we played with glee.
Who now will play our games, in childish, joyful guise?
Who’ll scold us, love us, in tender, playful lies?
While childhood’s sweet arena echoes laughter's call,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will never, ever fall.

Who now will bring the bears, the elephants, the cheetahs bold?
Childhood's days, alas, were lived before we’re told.
Who now will pen us letters, in words of love's design?
Oh, to write to you, if only you were mine!
While children smile, like waters clear and pure they gleam,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will live in every dream.
That smile, our very own, heart-deep, so true,
That anger, gentle as a storm of summer dew.
That scolding, teaching lessons, to memory's gate,
Those words, like flower petals, opening, to await.
When sorrow comes, your memory, a comfort near,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will banish every fear.

While rose blooms in gardens, a fragrant display,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will grace us every day.
You have departed, yet it seems you linger near,
Playing hide-and-seek, with us, your children dear.
The garden's blooms hold echoes of your smile so bright,
You walk with rivers, stand with mountains' height.
While beauty graces this world, in every tender art,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will ever hold our heart.
We will not forget the love you freely gave,
The garden you have planted, never will enslave.
By the promise of your memory, we children true,
Will strive to be worthy of the world you knew.
While labor’s hands shape the world, with care and grace,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will find its rightful place.

May we be honest, friends, and ever true,
Above all, may we be good Indians, in all that we do.
Let there be no war on this Earth, all nations in accord,
May only one fight remain, against hunger, disease and discord.
While Ganges flows, a sacred, timeless stream,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will live in every dream.
While rose blooms in gardens, a fragrant embrace,
Your "Chacha" name on earth will hold its hallowed space.
Your "Chacha" name on earth will live in every dream.
Your "Chacha" name on earth will live in every dream.
