सरहद पर मुझको जाना है ।
है तमन्ना यही दिल की,
दुश्मन को उनका औकात दिखाना है
राष्ट्र के खातिर मर मिटने को
सरहद पर मुझको जाना है ।
फौलादी हैं बाहें अपनी,
हिम्मत को बुलंद बनाना है।
राष्ट्र सेवा में समर्पण हेतु,
सरहद पर मुझको जाना है ।
जो सुना नही वीरों की गाथा,
सिर्फ बाते बनाने का अधिकार नही।
वह खून नहीं वह पानी है,
जिसमे स्वदेश का उबाल नहीं।
चलो एक जुट हम हो जाते है,
राष्ट्र का मान बढ़ाना है।
चाहे तिरंगा में लिपटकर आऊ,
सरहद पर मुझको जाना है ।
