Mera rang de basantee cholaa
mera rang de
Maaye rang de basantee cholaa
Dam nikle iss desh kee khaatir
bas itnaa armaan hai
Ek baar is raah mė marnaa
sau janmo ke samaan hai
Dekh ke veerȯ kee qurbaanee
Apnaa dil bhee bolaa
Mera rang de basantee cholaa
Jis chole ko pahan shivaaje
khele apnee jaan pe
Jise pahan jhaansee kee raanee
miṭ gayee apnee aan pe
Aaj usee ko pahan ke niklaa
ham mastȯ kaa ṭolaa
Mera rang de basantee cholaa
Color my clothing a saffron color, O Motherland.
My desire is to devote my very breath to this country. To die in service of my country is as if to live a hundred ordinary lives. My heart calls on me to follow the sacrifice of the heroes who gave their life for our country.
The cloak of bravery and devotion to the country was worn by the great Shivaji, the Rani of Jhansi and so many others. These heroes inspire me today. I gave up false pride and marched for my country.
Shaheed (1965); Mukesh, Rajendra Mehta & Mahendra Kapoor
