aazadi ke matwalo ka dekha jabse tola
aag jo mere dil me thi
wo bhadki banke shola
jaaga kurbani ka jajba, mera dil ye bola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
aazadi ke matwalo ka dekha jabse tola
aag jo mere dil me thi
wo bhadki banke shola
jaaga kurbani ka jajba, mera dil ye bola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola

bharat maa ke pairo me janjir na dekhi jaye
o sochu dekh ke kaum pe apni atyachar paraye
jane dudh ka karz chukane ka mausam kab aaye
jane dudh ka karz chukane ka mausam kab aaye
mere khun me desh prem rang hai tune ghola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola

kal tak mera desh tha
hanste phulo ki phulwari
o aaj bana hai is dharti ka har jarra chingari
de mujhko aashish ke main bhi banke krantikari
de mujhko aashish ke main bhi banke krantikari
aazadi ke dhan se bhar du tera khali jhola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola

dekar pran bujhegi shayad mere man ki jwala
o lahu jaha tapkega mera, hoga wahi ujala
maine dil me pala to arman yahi hai pala
maine dil me pala to arman yahi hai pala
veergati ko paau, jhulu faansi ka hindola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
mera rang de ho mera rang de
ho maay rang de basanti chola
