English Translation
|
| Jab zero diya mere Bharat ne |
Only when my India invented the zero |
| Bharat ne mere Bharat ne |
India my India |
| Duniya ko tab ginti aayi |
Only then the world learnt counting |
| Taaron ki bhasha Bharat ne |
The language of the stars |
| Duniya ko pehle sikhlai |
India taught that first to the world |
| Deta na dashamlav Bharat toh |
Had India not invented the decimal point |
| Yoon chaand pe jana mushkil tha |
It would've been difficult to reach the moon |
| Dharti aur chaand ki doori ka |
The distance between the earth and the moon |
| Andaza lagana mushkil tha |
Would've have been difficult to estimate |
| Sabhyata jahan pehle aayi |
Where civilization was born first |
| Sabhyata jahan pehle aayi |
Where civilization was born first |
| Pehle janmi hai jahan pe kala |
Where talent was born first |
| Apna Bharat woh Bharat hai |
That's my India |
| Jiske peeche sansar chala |
The one whom the world follows |
| Sansar chala aur aage badha |
The world follows and moves forward |
| Yoon aage badha, badhta hi gaya |
India lead the way and kept on leading |
| Bhagwan kare yeh aur badhe |
I pray to God that India keeps on succeeding |
| Badhta hi rahe aur phoole phale |
India keeps on moving forward and blossoming |
| Badhta hi rahe aur phoole phale |
India keeps on moving forward and blossoming |

| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
| Main geet wahan ke gaata hoon |
I'll sing songs of that country |
| Bharat ka rehne wala hoon |
I'm a citizen of India |
| Bharat ki baat sunata hoon |
I'll tell you about India |
| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
|
|
| Kaale gore ka bhed nahi |
There is no racism between white and black |
| Har dil se humara naata hai |
We're connected with every heart |
| Kuch aur na aata ho humko |
We don't know anything else |
| Humein pyar nibhana aata hai |
We simply know how to fulfill love |
| Jise maan chuki sari duniya |
The thing that the entire world thinks |
| O jise maan chuki sari duniya |
The thing that the entire world thinks |
| Main baat ... main baat wohi dohrata hoon |
I'll simply repeat those words |
| Bharat ka rehne wala hoon |
I'm a citizen of India |
| Bharat ki baat sunata hoon |
I'll tell you about India |
| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
|
|
| Jeete ho kisi ne desh toh kya |
So what if you've won over countries |
| Humne toh dilon ko jeeta hai |
We've won over the hearts |
| Jahan Ram abhi tak hai nar mein |
Where Lord Rama is there in men |
| Naari mein abhi tak Sita hai |
And Goddess Sita is there in women |
| Itne paawan hai log jahan |
Where there are such pure people |
| O itne paawan hai log jahan |
Where there are such pure people |
| Main nit nit ... main nit nit sheesh jhukata hoon |
I bow my head down completely over there |
| Bharat ka rehne wala hoon |
I'm a citizen of India |
| Bharat ki baat sunata hoon |
I'll tell you about India |
|
|
| Itni mamta nadiyon ko bhi |
There is so much motherly love that |
| Jahan maata kehke bulatein hai |
People call rivers as their mothers |
| Itna aadar insaan toh kya |
Forget just humans |
| Patthar bhi puje jaate hai |
Here even the stones are respected |
| Us dharti pe maine janam liya |
I've been born in that country |
| Ho us dharti pe maine janam liya |
I've been born in that country |
| Yeh soch ... yeh sochke main itrata hoon |
I think about that and feel proud |
| Bharat ka rehne wala hoon |
I'm a citizen of India |
| Bharat ki baat sunata hoon |
I'll tell you about India |
| Hai preet jahan ki reet sada |
Where love has always been the culture |
