    Hum Shamshir Utha Lenge.

    Bikhre bikhre taare hain hum lekin jhilmil ek hai...

    Ha, ha, ha, ek hai,

    Mandir Gurudwaare bhi hain yahan,
    aur masjid bhi hai yahan...

    Girija ka hai ghadiyal kahin, mulla ki kahin hai azaan,
    Sartaj Himalaya Hai,

    Ek hi apna Ram hai,
    ek hi Allah Taala hai

    Rang-birange deepak hain hum,
    lekin jagmag ek hai

    Ha ha ha ek hai,
    ho ho ho ek hai

    Hum sab Bhartiya hain, hum sab Bhartiya hain
