Teri Mitti
talvaron pe sar vaar diye
angaaron mein jism jalaya hai
tab jaake ke kahin humne sar pe
yeh kesari rang sajaaya hai
aye meri zameen afsoss nahi
jo tere liye sau dard sahe
mehfooz rahe teri aan sada
chaahe jaan meri yeh rahe na rahe
aye meri zameen mehboob meri
meri nass nass mein tera ishq bahe
pheeka na pade kabhi rang tera
jismon se nikal ke khoon kahe
teri mitti mein mill jawaan
gul banke main khill jawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
teri kheton mein lehrawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
wo o
sarson se bhare khalihaan mere
jahaan jhoom ke bhagra paa na saka
aabad rahe woh gaaon mera
jahaan laut ke wapas jaa na saka
ho watna ve, mere watna ve
tera mera pyar nirala tha
kurbaan hua teri asmat pe
main kitna naseebon wala tha
teri mitti mein mill jawaan
gul banke main khill jawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
teri kheton mein lehrawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
o heer meri tu hansti rahe
teri aankh ghadi bhar nam na ho
main marta tha jis mukhde pe
kabhi uska ujaala kam na ho
o maai meri kya fiqr tujhe
kyun aankh se dariya behta hai
tu kehti thi tera chaand hoon main
aur chaand hamesha rehta hai
teri mitti mein mill jawaan
gul banke main khill jawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
teri kheton mein lehrawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
Your Soil
swords have struck my head
my body burned in flames
only then did I adorn
this saffron color on my head
oh my land, no regrets
endured a hundred pains for you
may your honor remain forever
whether my life remains or not
oh my land, my beloved
your love flows in every vein of mine
may your color never fade
let the blood speak as it leaves our bodies
to merge in your soil
and bloom like a flower
such is the desire of my heart
to flow in your rivers
to sway in your fields
such is the desire of my heart
oh
my empty fields filled with mustard
where the peacock couldn't dance
may my village prosper
where I couldn't return
oh homeland, my homeland
different was our love
sacrificed for your honor
how fortunate I was
to merge in your soil
and bloom like a flower
such is the desire of my heart
to flow in your rivers
to sway in your fields
such is the desire of my heart
oh my beloved, may you keep smiling
may your eyes never fill with tears
the face I used to die for
may its brightness never diminish
oh mother, why worry about you
why does a river flow from your eyes
you used to say you're my moon
and the moon always remains
to merge in your soil
and bloom like a flower
such is the desire of my heart
to flow in your rivers
to sway in your fields
such is the desire of my heart
