Sare Jahan Se Achha Song Lyrics:
Sare jahan se accha hindostan hamara
Hum bulbulain hai iss ki yeh gulsitan hamara
Sare jahan se accha
Ghurbat men hon agar ham rahta hai dil vatan men
Samjho vahin hamen bhi dil hain jahan hamara
Parbat voh sab se uncha hamsaya asman ka
Voh santari hamara voh pasban hamara
Godi men khelti hain is ki hazaron nadiya
Gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e-janan hamara
Aye ab raud ganga voh din hen yad tujhko
Utara tere kinare jab karvan hamara
Mazhab nahin sikhata apas men bayr rakhna
Hindvi hai ham vatan hai hindostan hamara
Yunan o misr o roma sab mil gaye jahan se
Ab tak magar hai baqi nam o nishan hamara
Kuch bat hai keh hasti milati nahin hamari
Sadiyon raha hai dushman daur e zaman hamara
Iqbal koi meharam apna nahin jahan men
Malum kya kisi ko dard e nihan hamara
Sare jahan se accha hindostan hamara
Ham bulbulain hai is ki yeh gulsitan hamara

Udake dushmano kaa sir, jo de watan badhaye jaa) – (2)

Aye mere vatan ke logon, tum khub laga lo naara
Yeh shubh din hai ham sab kaa, lahara lo tiranga pyaara
Par mat bhulo sima par, viron ne hai pran ganvaaye
Kuchh yaad unhe bhi kar lo – (2)
Jo laut ke ghar naa aaye – (2)
(Aye mere vatan ke logon, jara aankh me bhar lo paani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani) – 2
Jab ghaayal huwa himalay, khatare me padi aajaadi
Jab tak thi saans lade woh – 2, phir apni laash bicha di
Sangeen pe dhar kar maatha, so gaye amar balidaani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Jab desh me thi diwali, woh khel rahe the holi
Jab ham baithe the gharo me, woh jhel rahe the goli
The dhanya javaan woh aapane, thee dhanya woh unaki javaani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Koyi sikh koyi jaat maratha – 2, (koyi gurakha koyi madaraasi) – 2
Sarahad pe maranewala – 2, har veer tha bhaaratavaasi
Jo khun gira parvat par, woh khun tha hindustani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Thi khun se lath path kaaya, phir bhee banduk uthaake
Das das ko ek ne maara, phir gir gaye hosh ganvaake
Jab ant samay aaya toh – 2, kah gaye ke abb marate hain
Khush rahana desh ke pyaaro – 2, (abb ham toh safar karate hain) – 2
Kya log the woh diwaane, kya log the woh abhimaani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Tum bhul naa jaao unako, iss liye kahee yeh kahaani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Jay hind, jay hind ki sena – (2)
Jay hind, jay hind, jay hind

Kar Cahle Hum Fida Song Lyrics:
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Saans thamti gayi, nabz jamti gayi
Phir bhi badhte kadam ko na rukne diya
Kat gaye sar hamare to kuchh gham nahin
Sar himalay ka humne na jhukne diya
Marte marte raha baankpan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Zinda rehne ke mausam bahut hain magar
Jaan dene ki rut roz aati nahin
Husn aur ishq dono ko ruswa kare
Woh jawani jo khoon mein nahaati nahin
Aaj dharti bani hai dulhan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Raah kurbaniyon ki na veeran ho
Tum sajaate hi rehna naye kaafile
Fateh ka jashn is jashn ke baad hai
Zindagi maut se mil rahi hai gale
Baandh lo apne sar se kafan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Khench do apne khoon se zameen par lakeer
Is taraf aane paaye na Ravan koyi
Tod do hath agar hath uthne lage
Chhoone paaye na Sita ka daaman koi
Raam bhi tum tumhi Lakshman saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Kar chale hum fida jaan-o-tan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon
Ab tumhare hawaale watan saathiyon

Yahan vahan saara jahan dekh liya
Ab tak bhi tere jaisa koi nahin
Main assi nahin, sau din duniya ghooma hai
Naahi kaahe tere jaisa koi nahin
Main gaya jahan bhi, bas teri yaad thi
Jo mere saath thi mujhko tadpaati rulaati
Sab se pyaari teri soorat
Maa tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Amma tujhe salaam
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Janam janam tera hoon deewana main
Jhoomoon naachoon gaaoon tere pyaar ka taraana
Main jeena nahin soch nahin duniya ki daulat nahin
Bas lootunga tere pyaar ka khazaana
Ek nazar jab teri hoti hai pyaar ki
Duniya tab to meri chamke damke maheke re
Tera chehra sooraj jaisa chaand si thand hai pyaar mein
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Tere paas hi main aa raha hoon
Apni baahein khol de
Zor se mujhko gale laga le
Mujhko phir voh pyaar de
Tu hi zindagi hai, tu hi meri mohabbat hai
Tere hi pairon mein jannat hai
Tu hi dil, tu jaan, amma
Maa tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Amma tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram

Hum Laye Hain Toofan Se Kashti Nikal Ke Song Lyrics:
paase sabhi ulat gaye dushman ki chaal ke
akshar sabhi palat gaye bhaarat ke bhaal ke
manzil pe aaya mulk har bala ko taal ke
sadiyon ke baad phir ude badal gulaal ke
ham laaye hain toofaan se kashti nikaal ke
iss desh ko rakhana mere bachchon sambhaal ke
tum hi bhavishhya ho mere bhaarat vishaal ke
is desh ko rakhana mere bachchon sambhaal ke
dekho kaheen barbaad na hove ye bageecha
isako hriday ke khoon se baapu ne hai seencha
rakkha hai ye chiraag shaheedon ne baal ke, is desh kot…
duniya ke daanv pench se rakhana na vaasta
manzil tumhaari duur hai lamba hai raasta
bhatka na de koi tumhen dhokhe mein daal ke, is desh ko…
aitam bamon ke zor pe ainthi hai ye duniya
baarood ke ik dher pe baithi hai ye duniya
tum har kadam uthaana zara dekha bhaal ke, is desh ko…
araam ki tum bhool bhulayya mein na bhoolo
sapanon ke hindolon pe magan hoke na jhoolo
ab waqt aa gaya hai mere hansate hue phoolon
utho chhalaang maar ke aakaash ko chhu lo
tum gaad do gagan pe tiranga uchhaal ke, is desh ko…

Jahaan daal-daal par sone ki chidiyaa karati hai basera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa…
Gurur brahma gurur vishnu, gurur devo maheshwaraah
Guru sakshat parabrahmah, tatsmaye shri guruvey namah
Jahaan daal-daal par sone ki chidiyaa karati hai basera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Jahaan satya, ahimsa aur dharam ka pag-pag lagata dera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Ye dharati vo jahaan rishi muni, japate prabhu naam ki mala
Hari om, hari om, hari om, hari om
Jahaan har baalak ek mohan hai, aur radha har ek baala
Aur radha ek ek baala
Jahaan suraj sabase pehele aaker, daale apana phera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Jaha ganga, yamuna, krishna aur kaaveri baheti jaaye
Jaha poorab, pashchim, uttar, dakshin ko amrit pilwaaye
Ye amrit pilwaaye, kahin ye to fal aur fool ugaye
kahin keshar aur bhithera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa…
Alabelon ki is dharati ke, tyohaar bhi hai albele,
Kahin deewali ki jagamag hai, holi ke kahin mele,
Holi ke kahin mele,
Jahaan raag rang aur hansi khushi kaa, chaaro aur hai ghera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Jahaan aasamaan se baate karate, mandir aur shivalay
Kisi nagar mein kisi dwaar par, koi na tala daale
Koi na taalaa daale,
Aur prem ki bansi jahaan bajata, aaye shaam savera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Jahaan daal-daal par sone ki chidiyaa karati hai basera
Vo bhaarat desh hai meraa, vo bhaarat desh hai mera
Jahaan satya, ahimsa aur dharam ka pag-pag lagata dera
Vo bharat desh hai meraa, vo bharat desh hai mera

Ye desh hai duniya ka gahna
Yaha chaudi chati viro ki
Yaha bholi shakle hiro ki
Yaha gate hai ranjhe hoy
Yaha gate hai ranjhe masti me
Masti hai jhume basti me
Pedo pe bahare jhulo ki
Raho me katare phulo ki
Yaha hasta hai sawan hoy
Yaha hasta hai sawan balo me
Khilti hai kaliya galo me
Kahil dangal surkh jawano ke
Kahi kartab teer kamano ke
Yaha nit nit mele hoy
Yaha nit nit mele sajte hai
Nit dhol aur tashe bajte hai
Dilbar ke liye dildar hai ham
Dushman ke liye talwar hai ham
Maidan me agar ham
Maidan me agar ham dat jaye
Mushkil hai ke piche hat jaye
