| Hindi Lyrics | English Translation |
|---|---|
| अंगारों में जिस्म जलाया है | I have burned my body in the embers |
| तब जाकर के कहीं हमने सर पे | Only then did we place upon our head |
| ये केसरि रंग सजाया है | This saffron color has been adorned |
| ऐ मेरी ज़मीन अफ़सोस नहीं | Oh my land, no regrets |
| जो तेरे लिए 100 दर्द सहे | I endured a hundred pains for you |
| महफ़ूज़ रहे तेरी आन सदा | May your honor always remain safe |
| चाहे जान मेरी ये रहे ना रहे | Even if my life does or does not remain |
| ओ, मेरी ज़मीन महबूब मेरी | Oh, my land, my beloved |
| मेरी नस-नस में तेरा इश्क़ बहे | Your love flows through every vein of mine |
| फीका न पड़े कभी रंग तेरा | May your color never fade |
| जिस्मों से निकल के खून कहे | May even blood from bodies declare it |
| तेरी मिट्टी में मिल जावाँ | May I merge into your soil |
| गुल बनके मैं खिल जावाँ | May I bloom as a flower |
| इतनी सी है दिल की आरज़ू | Such is the wish of my heart |
| तेरी नदियों में बह जावाँ | May I flow in your rivers |
| तेरी खेतों में लहरावाँ | May I sway in your fields |
| वोआह-ओह, वोआह-ओह, वोआह-ओह-ओह-ओह | Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh |
| सरसों से भरे खालीहां मेरे | My fields filled with mustard |
| जहाँ झूम के भांगड़ा पा न सका | Where I could not dance joyfully |
| आबाद रहे वो गाँव मेरा | May that village of mine remain prosperous |
| जहाँ लौट के वापस जा न सका | Where I could never return |
| हो, वतन वें, मेरे वतन वें | Oh homeland, my homeland |
| तेरा मेरा प्यार निराला था | Our love was unique |
| कुर्बान हुआ तेरी अस्मत पे | I sacrificed myself for your honor |
| मैं कितना नसीबों वाला था | How fortunate I was |
| ओ हीर मेरी तू हंसती रहे | Oh my Heer, may you keep smiling |
| तेरी आँख घड़ी भर नम न हो | May your eyes never well with tears |
| मैं मरा था जिस मुखड़े पे | I used to die for that face |
| कभी उसका उजाला कम न हो | May its brightness never diminish |
| ओ माई मेरी क्या फिक्र तुझे | Oh my mother, why worry? |
| क्यों आँख से दरिया बहता है | Why does a river flow from your eyes? |
| तू कहती थी तेरा चाँद हूँ मैं | You used to say, I am your moon |
| और चाँद हमेशा रहता है | And the moon always stays |
| तलवारों पे सर वार दिए | I laid my head on swords |
Teri Mitti Lyrics – B Praak In English Mix
Talwaron pe sar vaar diye
Angaaron mein jism jalaya hai
Tab jaake ke kahin humne sar pe
Yeh kesari rang sajaaya hai
Ae meri zameen afsoss nahi
Jo tere liye 100 dard sahe
Mehfooz rahe teri aan sada
Chaahe jaan meri ye rahe na rahe
O, meri zameen mehboob meri
Meri nas-nas mein tera ishq bahe
Pheeka na pade kabhi rang tera
Jismon se nikal ke khoon kahe
Teri mitti mein mill jawaan
Gul banke main khil jawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
Teri kheton mein lehrawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Sarson se bhare khalihaan mere
Jahaan jhoom ke bhagra paa na saka
Aabad rahe wo gaaon mera
Jahaan laut ke wapas jaa na saka
Ho, watna ve, mere watna ve
Tera mera pyar nirala tha
Kurbaan hua teri asmat pe
Main kitna naseebon wala tha
Teri mitti mein mill jawaan
Gul banke main khil jawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
Teri kheton mein lehrawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
O Heer meri tu hansti rahe
Teri aankh ghadi bhar nam na ho
Main marta tha jis mukhde pe
Kabhi uska ujaala kam na ho
O maai meri kya fiqr tujhe
Kyun aankh se dariya behta hai
Tu kehti thi tera chaand hoon main
Aur chaand hamesha rehta hai
Teri mitti mein mill jawaan
Gul banke main khil jawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
Teri kheton mein lehrawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzoo
