AISA DES HAI MERA
Ambar hethhaan, dharti vasdi, ethe har rut hasdi
Below the blue skies, the earth is prospering, every season is joyful
Kinna sona, des hai mera, des hai mera, des hai mera
My land, my beautiful land
Dharti sunehri, ambar neela, har mausam rangeela
Golden earth and blue sky, every season is colorful
Aisa des hai mera, oh aisa des hai mera
This is what my country is like
Bole papiha koyal gaaye
The sparrow hawk calls, the nightingale sings
Saawan ghir ke aaye
And down comes the rain
Aisa des hai mera, oh aisa des hai mera
This is what my country is like
Kothhe te, kaan bole aayi chithhi mere maahiye di
A crow is calling on my terrace, to let me know a letter from my beloved will arrive
Vich aane da vi na bole aayi, chithhi mere maahiye di
And there'll surely be a mention of me
Genhoo ke kheton mein kanghi jo kare hawaayein
When the breezes comb through the fields of wheat
Rang birangi kitni chunariyaan ud ud jaayein
It lifts hundred colourful scarves
Panghat par panhaaran jab gagri bharne aaye
When the village girls come to the well to fill their pots
Madhur madhur taanon mein kahin bansi koyi bajaaye, lo sun lo
Someone enchants them with the sweet sound of his flute
Qadam qadam pe hai mil jaani, koyi prem kahaani
And so at every step, a new love story is born
Aisa des hai mera, oh aisa des hai mera
This is what my country is like
Meri jugni de dhaage pakke jugni os de moonh toh fabbe
My jugni (the spirit of life) is very choosy
Jinu sat ishq di lagge, oy saanyi mereya oh jugni
she favours the ones in love
Veer mereya jugni kendi aye, oh naam saayin da lendi aye
My dear this is what jugni says, she takes the name of Lord
Oh dil kad litaa ee jind meriye
You've made me happy dear
Baap ke kandhe chadh ke, jahaan bachche dekhe mele
Where children, carried upon their father's shoulders, are taken to see the fair
Melon mein nach ke tamaashe, kulfi ke chaat ke thhele
Festivals full of dance, spectacle and delicious food
Kahin milti meethhi goli, kahin chooran ki hai pudiya
Here you might get a sweet desert, there a salty snack
Bhole bhole bachche hain, jaise gudde aur gudiya
The innocent children are like dolls
Aur inko roz sunaaye daadi naani
And every day their grandmothers
Roz sunaaye daadi naani, ik pariyon ki kahaani
Every day their grandmothers read them fairy tales
Aisa des hai mera, oh aisa des hai mera
This is what my country is like
Sadke sadke jaandi aye mutiyaare ni
Hurry up dear
Kanda chuba tere pair baankiye naare ni
A throne pricked your beloved's feet
Ni adiye, kanda chuba tere pair baankiye naare ni
Dear a throne pricked your beloved's feet
Kaun kade tera kaandra mutiyaare ni
Who will be the one to remove it
Kaun sahe teri peed baankiye naare ni
Who will endure the pain of your beloved
Ni adiye kaun sahe teri peed baankiye naare ni
Dear who will endure the pain of your beloved
Mere des mein mehmaanon ko bhagwaan kaha jaata hai
In my country, visitors are considered gods
Woh yahin ka ho jaata hai, jo kahin se bhi aata hai
You're made at home no matter where you come from
Tere des ko maine dekha tere des ko maine jaana
I have seen and gotten to know your country
Jaane kyun ye lagta hai mujhko jaana pehchaana
I don't know why it all seems familiar
Yahaan bhi wahin shaam hai wahin savera
The same sunsets, the same dawns
Aisa hi des hai mera, jaisa des hai tera
Such is also my country, same as your land
Waisa des hai tera, haan jaisa des hai tera
Same as your land
Aisa des hai mera ho jaisa des hai tera
this is my land, same as your land
Aisa des hai mera haan, jaisa des hai tera
this is my land, same as your land
Aisa des hai mera
This is my land
Jaisa des hai mera
Same as my land
