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
