khoon chala...

kuch kar guzarne ko... khoon chala.
aankhon ke sheeshe main utarne ko... khoon chala
badan se tapak kar... zameen se lipat kar...

galiyon se raston se... ubhar kar umad kar...
naye rang bharne ko.. khoon chala...*

In respect and solidarity with the people of tibet...

Jai Hind...

kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipat kar
galiyon se raston se
ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala
khuli-si chhot lekar, bari-si tich lekar ahista ahista
sawaalon ki ungli, jawaabon ki mutthi sang lekar Khoon chala
kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala*

Happy 60th to my fellow contrymen... it's special in a rewarding kind of way how now more than ever I feel Indian... a proud Indian... Jai Hind.
