Translation |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja | Keep marching forward |
|
|
| Tere liye tere watan ki khaak beqarar hai | The soil of your motherland is restless for you |
| Himalaya ki chotiyon ko tera intezar hai | The pinnacles of Himalayas are waiting for you |
| Watan se door hai magar watan ke geet gaaye ja | You're far away from your country, but yet sings the songs of your country |
| Watan se door hai magar watan ke geet gaaye ja | You're far away from your country, but yet sings the songs of your country |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja | Keep marching forward |
|
|
| Bada kathin safar hai yeh bade kathin hai raste | This journey is tough and so is the path |
| Magar yeh mushkilein hai kya sipahiyon ke vaste | But these problems are nothing for soldiers |
| Tu bijliyon se khel aandhiyon pe muskuraye ja | Play with lightning and smile in front of the storms |
| Tu bijliyon se khel aandhiyon pe muskuraye ja | Play with lightning and smile in front of the storms |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja | Keep marching forward |
|
|
| Bichad raha hai tujhpe tera bhai toh bichadne de, bhai toh bichadne de | If you're losing a brother, so be it |
| Naseeb kaum ka bane toh apna ghar ujhadne de, apna ghar ujhadne de | Sacrifice your own house to build your motherland |
| Mitake apna ek ghar hazar ghar basaye ja | Sacrifice your one home so that thousands of other homes are safe |
| Mitake apna ek ghar hazar ghar basaye ja | Sacrifice your one home so that thousands of other homes are safe |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja khushi ke geet gaaye ja | Keep marching forward singing the songs of joy |
| Yeh zindagi hai kaum ki tu kaum par lautaye ja | Sacrifice your life for your motherland |
| Kadam kadam badhaye ja | Keep marching forward |
