ye dharti desh punjab di
jithe vagde panj dariya
ye dharti desh punjab di
jithe vagde panj dariya
ithe rahmat sachche rab di

jithe hondi ae ardas vi
bhala mang ke duniya da
ye dharti desh punjab di
jithe vagde panj dariya
ye dharti desh punjab di
jithe vagde panj dariya

jado maharana ranjeet singh

o phir jado bhajiya jaai
na den de te vaar mitonde paar
o phir jado bhajiya jaai

ye dharti desh punjab di
jithe vagde panj dariya

jithe vagde panj dariya

This land, Punjab's heart, it beats,
Where five rivers sing their sweet refrains.
This land, Punjab's heart, repeats,
Where five rivers flow through golden plains.
Here, God's grace, a gentle art,
Homes of Gurus, saints enshrined.
Here, prayers arise, a hopeful start,
For the world, a peace of mind.
This land, Punjab's heart, it beats,
Where five rivers sing their sweet refrains.
This land, Punjab's heart, repeats,
Where five rivers flow through golden plains.

When Ranjit Singh's valor shone,
Conquering Kabul, Kandahar's hold,
For Punjab, lives were overthrown,
For Punjab, stories to be told.
Then Hari Singh Nalwa's might,
With a warrior's fiery grace,
Against the foe, he'd bravely fight,
Leaving enemies no safe space.
When they fled, in disarray,
He pursued, their blows undone,
Leaving none to see the day,
Across the river, victory won.
Heroes of this sacred ground,
For death, they would always yearn,
Ready always to be found,
Their souls on fire, forever burn.
Alakh, they chanted, bold and free,
Ahmad Shah's path, they did block,
This land, Punjab's heart, to be,
Where five rivers never stop.
This land, Punjab's heart, it beats,
Where five rivers sing their sweet refrains.
This land, Punjab's heart, repeats,
Where five rivers flow through golden plains.

Smiling, they embraced the noose,
Around their necks, a final hold,
How to die for their country's cause,
The lessons of Sarabha, bold.
Revenge for Jallianwala's stain,
Taken in London's crowded street,
Udham Singh, through sun and rain,
Adwyer's life, he would defeat.
Bhagat Singh, upon the tree,
Swung to death, a nation woke,
Punjabis fear no destiny,
History’s truth, a spoken stroke.
This land, Punjab's heart, it beats,
Where five rivers sing their sweet refrains.
This land, Punjab's heart, repeats,
Where five rivers flow through golden plains.
