aarambh hai prachand bole mastakon ke jhund
aaj jang ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do

aan baan shaan, yaa ki jaan kaa ho daan
aaj ik dhanush ke baan pe utaar do

jo lad saka hai wohi to mahaan hai

kya zindagi hai thokron pe maar do

ye jaa ke aasmaan mein dahaad do

ho dayaa ka bhaav, yaa ke shaurya ka chunaav,
yaa ke haar ka woh ghaav tum ye soch lo

yaa ke poore bhaal par, jalaa rahe vijay kaa laal,
laal ye gulaal tum ye soch lo
(Your forehead may be reddened with the bright, fire-like, vermillion of victory, so think (you make the choice).....)
rang kesari ho yaa mridang kesari ho
yaa ke kesari ho taal tum ye soch lo

jis kavi ki kalpana mein zindagi ho premgeet
uss kavi ko aaj tum nakaar do

aag ki lapat ka tum baghaar do
