is desh ke jawano ko ab aajmaya jayega
aajmaya jayega
is desh ke jawano ko ab aajmaya jayega
aajmaya jayega
shola hai jamin banee bijlee giraye aasman
aag ke sholo pe chala desh kaa yeh karwan
kaun sina tan nikale kaun sina tan nikale
desh mere kaa jawan
hind par wo mar mite uncha kare komi nishan
hind par wo mar mite uncha kare komi nishan
kaun aage badhke pehle pehali golei khayega
aajmaya jayega

desh kee vidhwa pukare bhag jinke so gaye
saye sar se utha gaye bachhe yatim ho gaye
gurbat kaa ek tufan utha gurbat kaa ek tufan utha
bahano se bhai kho gaye
matao ki aankho ke tare rote rote so gaye
kaun aaj in deviyo ke rote dil hansayega
aajmaya jayega

is desh ke jawano ko ab aajmaya jayega
aajmaya jayega
umange mit rahi hai aaj benamo nishan ho kar
bata ai katib-e-kismat likha kaya badguman ho kar
tavakko thee woh aayenge to dil ko chain aaye ga
magar betabiya utthee kaleje mein jawan ho kar

The nation's sons, now put to test,
Put to test,
The nation's sons, now put to test,
Put to test.

Earth ablaze, sky rains down fire,
On flames of war, the nation's caravan strides.
Who will stand tall, who will emerge,
My nation's brave young men?
For India they'll die, raise the flag of pride,
For India they'll die, raise the flag of pride.
Who will step forward, take the first shot,
Put to the test?

The nation's widows cry, their destinies asleep,
Shadows gone, orphans left to weep.
A storm of poverty arose, a storm of poverty arose,
Sisters lost their brothers.
Mothers' stars of eyes, weeping, have fallen asleep.
Who will today, bring laughter to their weeping hearts,
Put to the test?

The nation's sons, now put to test,
Put to test.
Hopes are fading, nameless and lost,
Tell me, scribe of fate, why write with such doubt?
Expected comfort, when they'd return,
But restlessness arose, young in the heart.
