| O mera rang de basanti chola mera rang de | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola oye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| Maiye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron, o motherland |
| O mera rang de basanti chola mera rang de | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola oye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| Maiye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron, o motherland |

|
| Dum nikle is desh ki khatir bas itna armaan hai | My only wish is to die for this country |
| Dum nikle is desh ki khatir bas itna armaan hai | My only wish is to die for this country |
| Ek baar is raah mein marna sau janamo ke samaan hai | Dying once for this cause is worth a hundred births |
| Dekhke veeron ki qurbani | Looking at the sacrifice of the brave ones |
| Dekhke veeron ki qurbani apna dil bhi bola | Looking at the sacrifice of the brave ones even my heart says |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola mera rang de | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola oye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| Maiye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron, o motherland |

| Jis chole ko pehan Shivaji khele apni jaan pe | The cloak that Shivaji wore and fought with his life on the line |
| Jis chole ko pehan Shivaji khele apni jaan pe | The cloak that Shivaji wore and fought with his life on the line |
| Jise pehan Jhansi ki rani mit gayi apni aan pe | The cloak that the queen of Jhansi wore and fought for her pride |
| Aaj ussi ko pehanke nikla, pehanke nikla | Today we're wearing the same cloak |
| Aaj ussi ko pehanke nikla hum maston ka tola | Today we're wearing the same cloak and moving forward carefree |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola mera rang de | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola oye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| Maiye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron, o motherland |
| O mera rang de basanti chola mera rang de | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| O mera rang de basanti chola oye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron |
| Maiye rang de basanti chola | Please colour my cloak saffron, o motherland |
