The Price of Freedom (आज़ादी की कीमत)

हिंदी

आज़ाद हिन्द की जंग लड़नी है, तो मैदान में भी तो उतरना होगा,  

सहनशीलता को कमज़ोरी समझा जाए, तो मुँह तोड़ जवाब भी तो देना होगा, 

ख़ून कब तक बहे किसी और के खातिर, झूठी उम्मीदों का बस सहारा है, 

आज अगर हार के बैठ गए, तो किस शान से कहेंगे ये भारत हमारा है? 

अंग्रेज़ों की हुकूमत के सूरज को कभी तो ढलना होगा, 

स्वतंत्रता का ध्वज अगर लेहराना है, तो साथ भी तो चलना होगा, 

ललकारो आज अपने स्वाभिमान को, बस इतना कर लो अब कर्म, 

निडरता की मिसाल बन जाओ, निभा लो देश के लिए अपना धर्म. 

English

To fight a war for Free India, we have to step onto the battlefield,

When tolerance is mistaken as weakness, we have to break their shield,

Why continue to shed blood for others, we are waiting on a false hope,

If we lose today, can we really call ourselves patriotic, how will we cope?

The sun of the British Empire has to set someday,

To see the Independence flag raised high, we have to walk together on this path today,

Find your self-respect and rise up to the occasion,

Become an example of fearlessness, do your duty for our nation.
