Kadam kadam baṛhaaye jaa
Khushee ke geet gaaye jaa
Yeh zindagee hai quam kee
Too quam pe looṭaaye jaa
Tu sher-e-hind aage baṛh
Marne se too kabhee naa ḍar
Uṛaake dushmano kaa sar
Josh-e-vatan barhaaye ja
Teree himmat baṛhti rahe
Khudaa teree suntaa rahe
Jo saamne tere Khaṛe
Tu khaank me milaaye ja
Chalo Dillee pukaar ke
gam-e-nishan sambhaal ke
Laal kile pe gaaṛ ke
Lahraaye jaa, lahraaye jaa
March, March on forward. Sing songs of happiness as you go. This life belongs to our motherland. Lay it down for the motherland.
You are the tiger of India! Never fear death. Blow away the enemy’s head. Raise the spirits of your comrades.
For Delhi be your battle call. Hold your flag high. Plant it on the Lal Quila (Red Fort). Let it fly, let it fly.
