JAWAAN (Armed Forces)

Na bachpan ki masoomiyat
Na jawani ki laalsa dekhi tumne,
Na paaya rishton ka pyaar
Kyunki WATAN ko hai apnaya tumne.

Jhulon ke jhoko me nahi
Bhoomi ki mitti me khela bachpan,
Dosto sang nahi
Sipahiyon sang mila shiksha aur gyaan.

Roti khayi maa ki mamta rahit
Chot khayi pitah ke marham rahit,
Thi rakhi bhi suni pyari behno rahit
Teej-tyohar har beeta apne anuj rahit.

Aasman bana jinka chat, patte bane jinki thali
Sej thi makhmali ghaas aur Bharat Maa ki godi,
Chappan Bhog ki abilasha chod
Rukhe sukhe ko banayi apni roti.

Parwaah chod khud ke jaan ki
Zimmedari uthayi Desh Wasiyon ke hifazat ki,
Lahu baha ke apna
Izzat bachayi apne TIRANGE ki.

Naaz – O – Fakra hai Jawaan
Tyaag, Balidaan, Kartavya, Nishtha, Samarpan, Shahaadat pe tumhare,
Garv ho tum Watan ke
Vandan hai tumhe lakh-lakh hamare.
