Teri Mitti Lyrics In Hindi & English Translation
| Hindi (हिंदी) | English (Translation) |
|---|---|
| तलवारों पे सर वार दिए | Having wielded swords on our heads |
| अंगारों में जिस्म जलाया है | Bodies burning amidst embers |
| तब जाकर कहीं हमने सर पे | Only then did we adorn our heads |
| ये केशरी रंग सजाया है | With this saffron hue |
| ऐ मेरी ज़मीन अफ़सोस नहीं | Oh my land, there is no regret |
| जो तेरे लिए 100 दर्द सहे | For enduring a hundred pains for you |
| महफ़ूज़ रहे तेरी आन सदा | May your honor forever be preserved |
| चाहे जान मेरी ये रहे ना रहे | Even if my life may or may not remain |
| ऐ मेरी ज़मीन महबूब मेरी | Oh my land, my beloved |
| मेरी नस नस में तेरा इश्क़ बहे | Your love flows in every vein of mine |
| फीका न पड़े कभी रंग तेरा | May your colors never fade |
| जिस्मों से निकल के ख़ून कहे | Even after blood separates from bodies |
| तेरी मिट्टी में मिल जावां | I would dissolve in your soil |
| गुल बनके मैं खिल जावां | Blossoming as a flower |
| इतनी सी है दिल की आरज़ू | Such is the small desire of my heart |
| तेरी नदियों में बह जावां | I would flow in your rivers |
| तेरी खेतों में लहरावां | Fluttering in your fields |
| इतनी सी है दिल की आरज़ू | Such is the small desire of my heart |
| सरसो से भरे खलिहान मेरे | My fields filled with mustard |
| जहाँ झूम के भांगड़ा पा न सका | Where I couldn’t dance in joy |
| आबाद रहे वो गाँव मेरा | May my village prosper |
| जहाँ लौट के वापस जा न सका | Where I couldn’t return |
| ओ वतन वे मेरे वतन वे | Oh my homeland, my unique love |
| तेरा मेरा प्यार निराला था | Our love was extraordinary |
| क़ुर्बान हुआ तेरी असमत पे | I sacrificed for your honor |
| मैं कितना नसीबों वाला था | How fortunate I was |
| तेरी मिट्टी में मिल जावां | I would dissolve in your soil |
| गुल बनके मैं खिल जावां | Blossoming as a flower |
| इतनी सी है दिल की आरज़ू | Such is the small desire of my heart |
| तेरी नदियों में बह जावां | I would flow in your rivers |
| तेरी खेतों में लहरावां | Fluttering in your fields |
| इतनी सी है दिल की आरज़ू | Such is the small desire of my heart |
Teri Mitti Lyrics In English Mix
talvaaron pe sar vaar diye
angaaron mein jism jalaaya hai
tab jaake ke kaheen humne sar pe
ye kesari rang sajaaya hai
we have sacrificed our heads on swords,
we have burned our bodies on fires,
that’s how we have earned this saffron color
to adorn our heads with.
aye meri zameen afsos nahi
jo tere liye sau dard sahe
mehfooz rahe teri aan sada
chaahe jaan meri ye rahe na rahe
O my motherland, I have no complaints
even if I had to bear with a hundred problems for you.
May your honour always be safe,
whether I live, or not.
aye meri zameen mehboob meri
meri nas nas mein tera ishq bahe
pheeka na paRe kabhi rang tera
jismon se nikal ke khoon kahe
O my beloved motherland,
your love flows in my veins.
blood coming out of bodies says
that your color should never fade.
teri miTTi mein mil jaawaan
gul banke main khil jaawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jaawaan
tere kheton mein lehraawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
I wish to merge in your soil,
I wish to bloom as a flower,
it’s the wish of my heart,
that I flow in your rivers,
that I wave in your fields (as a harvest),
just that much is my hearty wish.
sarson se bhare khalihaan mere
jahaan jhoom ke bhagRa paa na saka
aabaad rahe wo gaaon mera
jahaan lauT ke wapas jaa na saka
my fields full of mustard,
where I couldn’t dance,
I wish that village of mine remains safe,
where I could not return.
ho watna ve, mere watna ve
tera mera pyaar niraala tha
kurbaan hua teri asmat pe
main kitna naseebon wala tha
O my country, my dear country,
our love was unique.
I sacrificed myself for your honor,
I was so lucky.
teri miTTi mein mil jaawaan
gul banke main khil jaawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jaawaan
tere kheton mein lehrawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
o heer meri tu hansti rahe
teri aankh ghaRi bhar nam na ho
main marta tha jis mukhRe pe
kabhi uska ujaala kam na ho
O my beloved, may you keep smiling,
may there never be a tear in your eye.
may the shine of that face never fade,
which I loved.
o maai meri kya fikr tujhe
kyun aankh se dariya behta hai
tu kehti thi tera chaand hoon main
aur chaand hamesha rehta hai
O mother, why do you worry for me,
why is there a river flowing from your eyes?
You always said I’m your moon,
and the moon always remains there.
teri miTTi mein mil jaawaan
gul banke main khil jaawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
teri nadiyon mein beh jaawaan
tere kheton mein lehrawaan
itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
