Mera joota hai japani yeh patloon englishtani
Sar pe laal topi roosi phir bhi dil hai hindustani
Mera joota...
Nikal pade hai khulli sadak par apna seena taane
Manzil kahan, kahan rukna hai, uparwala jaane
Badte jaayen hum sailani, jaise ek dariya toofani
Sar pe laal topi roosi phir bhi dil hai hindustani
Mera joota...
Upar-neeche neeche-upar leher chale jeevan ki
Nadaan hai jo baith kinare, pooche raah watan ki
Chalna jeevan ki kahaani, rukna maut ki nishaani
Sar pe laal topi roosi phir bhi dil hai hindustani
Mera joota...
Honge raaje rajkanwar hum bigde dil shehzade
Hum singhasan par ja baithen jab jab karen iraade
Surat hai jaani pehchani duniya walon ko hairani
Sar pe laal topi roosi phir bhi dil hai hindustani
Mera joota...
