Mera Joota Hai Japani Lyrics
मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंग्लिशतानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंग्लिशतानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी
निकल पड़े हैं खुली सड़क पर
अपना सीना ताने, अपना सीना ताने
मंज़िल कहाँ, कहाँ रुकना है
ऊपर वाला जाने, ऊपर वाला जाने
बढ़ते जाएँ हम सैलानी, जैसे एक दरिया तूफ़ानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंग्लिशतानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी
ऊपर-नीचे, नीचे-ऊपर
लहर चले जीवन की, लहर चले जीवन की
नादाँ है, जो बैठ किनारे
पूछे राह वतन की, पूछे राह वतन की
चलना जीवन की कहानी, रुकना मौत की निशानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंग्लिशतानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी
होंगे राजे-राजकुँवर
हम बिगड़े दिल शहज़ादे, बिगड़े दिल शहज़ादे
हम सिंघासन पर जा बैठें
जब-जब करें इरादे, जब-जब करें इरादे
सूरत है जानी-पहचानी, दुनिया वालों को हैरानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंग्लिशतानी
सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिंदुस्तानी
मेरा जूता है जापानी
Mera Joota Hai Japani Lyrics in English
Mera joota hai Japaani, ye patloon Inglistani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani, ye patloon Inglistani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani
Nikal pare hain khuli sadak par
Apna seena taane, apna seena taane
Manzil kahan, kahan rukna hai
Upar waala jaane, upar waala jaane
Badhte jaayein hum sailaani, jaise ek dariya toofaani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani, ye patloon Inglistani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani
Upar-niche, niche-upar
Lehar chale jeevan ki, lehar chale jeevan ki
Naadan hai, jo baithe kinaare
Pooche raah vatan ki, pooche raah vatan ki
Chalna jeevan ki kahaani, rukna maut ki nishaani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani, ye patloon Inglistani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani
Honge raaje-raajkumar
Hum bigade dil shahzaade, bigade dil shahzaade
Hum singhasan par ja baithein
Jab-jab karein iraade, jab-jab karein iraade
Soorat hai jaani-pehchaani, duniya waalon ko hairaani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani, ye patloon Inglistani
Sar pe laal topi Roosi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
Mera joota hai Japaani
