India is my honour, my pride and my life |

|
| Paanch hazar varsh pehle |
5000 years ago |
| Humare deshwashi is hi ved mantra ka ucharan karke |
People of our country chanted this slogan |
| Param pita parmatma se yaachna karte the |
They used to appeal to God |
| Sabka bhala karo bhagwan |
That please bless everyone |
| Sabko sukh aur shanti do |
Give everyone happiness and peace |
| Aur paanch sau warsh pehle |
And 500 years ago |
| Bhakti marg ke darshak Guru Nanak Dev ne |
Saint Guru Nanak on the path of devotion |
| Is hi baat ko saral bhasha mein dohraya |
Had repeated the same thing in simple words |
| Nanak naam chardi kala |
With the name of Nanak comes joy |
| Tere bhane sarbaht da bhala |
With your blessings everyone finds peace |
|
|
| Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan |
India, India, India, India |
| Meri aan, meri shaan, meri jaan Hindustan |
India is my honour, my pride and my life |
|
|
| Parantu sabke liye sukh aur shanti maangne wale Hindustani |
But the Indians who asked for happiness and peace for everyone |
| Kya khud shanti se reh sake |
Were they themselves able to live in peace |
| Rehte bhi toh kaise |
How could they even live in peace |
| Unki dharti ka doosra naam sone ki chidiya hai |
The second name of their motherland was, a golden bird |
| Jiski mitti mein sona aur jungalon mein chandan hai |
Which had gold in its soil and sandalwood in its jungle |
| Shayad is hi liye prakriti ne iski suraksha ke liye |
May be that's why, for its protection nature created |
| Uttar mein Himalaya |
Himalaya in the north |
| Dakshin mein Hind Mahasagar |
The Indian Ocean in the south |
| Purab mein Bangal ki khaadi |
The Bay of Bengal in the east |
| Aur paschim mein Thar ka reghistan bana diya tha |
And the Thar desert in the west |
|
|
| Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan |
India, India, India, India |
| Meri aan, meri shaan, meri jaan Hindustan |
India is my honour, my pride and my life |
|
|
| Phir bhi sone ki chamak aur chandan ki khushboo |
But still the shine of gold and the aroma of sandalwood |
| Bahar ke hamlawaron ko lubhati rahi |
Used to pull the attackers from outside |
| Sikandar ke ghodo ki taapo ne |
With the thundering sound of the horses of fighters |
| Humare dharti ke seene ki dhadkan tezz kar di |
The heartbeats of our land got faster |
| Tohun, Mangol, Arab, Mughal, Purtagali, Francisi |
Tohun, Mangol, Arab, Mughal, Portuguese, French |
| Aur angrej koi peeche na raha |
And the Englishmen, no one stayed behind |
| Sab aaye aur aate hi rahe |
Everyone came and kept on coming |
| Shayad nahi jaante the ke jahan sab duniya wale |
May be they weren't aware of the fact that |
| Apni apni matrabhoomi se pyar karte hai |
Everyone loves their motherland |
| Wahan Hindustani apni matrabhoomi ki puja karte hai |
But Indians worship their motherland |
| Jee haan puja |
Yes, they do worship |
|
|
| Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan |
India, India, India, India |
| Meri aan, meri shaan, meri jaan Hindustan |
India is my honour, my pride and my life |
|
|
| Karodon Hindustaniyon ki bhavna ko |
The emotions of millions of Indians |
| Shabdon mein dhalte hue hi toh |
Was wrapped in words |
| Bankim Babu ne kaha tha |
And Bankim Babu had said that |
| Sujalaam suflaam |
Rich with hurrying streams and orchard gleams |
| Malayaj sheetalaam |
Cool with winds of delight |
| Shasyashyamalaam mataram |
Dark fields waving mother of might |
| Vande vande mataram |
Mother, I salute thee |
| Hamlawaron ko haar maankar vapas jaana pada |
The attackers had to accept defeat and head back |
| Par kuch log yahin ke hoke reh gaye |
But a few of them stayed back |
| Unhe humari dharti maa ne godh le liye |
Our motherland adopted them |
| Aur itihaas sakhsi hai |
And history is a proof that |
| Maa ne apni kok se janme aur godh liye bachon mein |
For a mother her own children and adopted ones |
| Kabhi antar nahi rakha |
There is no difference between them |
| Shayad is hi liye |
And may be that's why |
| Jab jab kisi hamlawar ne humari dharti ke seene par paanv rakhna chaha |
Whenever any attacker tried to step their feet on our country's soil |
| Sab bache seena taankar saamne khade ho gaye |
All our children stood up in front of that |
| Aur seema suraksha ki deewar khadi ho gayi |
And they formed a wall of border protection |
|
|
| Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan |
India, India, India, India |
| Meri aan, meri shaan, meri jaan Hindustan |
India is my honour, my pride and my life |
|
|
| Hamlawar is deewar se takrakar vapas jaate rahe |
The attackers came across this wall and returned |
| Joh 1962 mein hua |
What happend in the year 1962 |
| Wahi san 65 mein aur wahi 71 mein |
The same happened in 1965 and 1971 |
| Har baar Hindustaniyon ne |
Each and every time |
| Vapas jaate huye dushman ki taraf dosti ka haath badhaya |
Indians gave a hand of friendship to the returning enemy |
| Kyun ki humari mitti ne humein sikhaya hai |
Because our soil has taught us that |
| Ke yadi nafrat karne wale nafrat ka daaman nahi chhodte |
If the people who believe in hatred never forget hatred |
| Toh mohabbat karne wale mohabbat ka daaman kyun chhode |
Then why would the people who believe in love, forget love |
|
|
| Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan, Hindustan |
India, India, India, India |
| Meri aan, meri shaan, meri jaan Hindustan |
India is my honour, my pride and my life |
