Mitti Ke Bete Lyrics English Translation – Border 2 | Sonu Nigam

Kya Man Mauji Befikre The Maut Pe Apne
Haste The Dil Mein Watan Ko Rakhne Wale
Sar Pe Kafan Bhi Rakhte The

Hum Jo Tiranga Lehrayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute Woh
Mitti Ke Bete

Woh Maa Ke Albele
Jo Wapas Na Laute
Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete

Jiske Liye Sardar Hamara
Jhool Gaya Tha Fande Par
Dhool Nahi Lagne Di Humne
Us Bedag Tirange Par

Tera Dard Tu Jaane Baba
Main To Khushi Se Paagal Hoon
Jiski Godi Mein Khela Main
Chala Usi Ke Kandhe Par

Laadle Jab Sarhad Jayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Jo Wapas Na Laute

O Chhal, Yeh Kahaan Bata Tu Yaaron Ko Chhal Jaayega
Jo Chadhata Sooraj Tha Apna
Woh Aise Dhal Jaayega

Tere Bin Sarhad Se Hum Bhi
Aadhe-Adhoore Lautenge
Teri Chita Mein Dheere Se
Kuchh Apna Bhi Jal Jaayega

Yaar Gale Jab Lag Jaayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Jo Wapas Na Laute

Mujhe Dard Kabhi Soch Hote Hi Nahi
Manvaas Khatm Hote Hi Nahi
Chaukhat Pe Diye Jalte Hi Rahe
Kuchh Ram Kabhi Laute Hi Nahi

Mere Naam Ka Pyala Bhar Ke
Barson Mein Pee Lena
Baba Main To Raha Nahi
Tu Meri Jawani Jee Lena

Hum Jab Jan Gan Man Gawaayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Jo Wapas Na Laute

Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete

Kya Man Mauji Befikre The Maut Pe Apne Haste The
Their spirits were carefree and fearless; they even laughed at their own death.

Dil Mein Watan Ko Rakhne Wale Sar Pe Kafan Bhi Rakhte The
Those who carried the nation in their hearts also wore their shrouds upon their heads.

Hum Jo Tiranga Lehrayenge, Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
When we raise the tricolour, we will be remembered like a sudden sob.

Woh Mitti Ke Bete Jo Wapas Na Laute
Those sons of the soil who never returned.

Jo Wapas Na Laute Woh Mitti Ke Bete
Those who never came back were the sons of the soil

Woh Maa Ke Albele
Those were the beloved sons of their mothers.

Jo Wapas Na Laute Woh Mitti Ke Bete, Is Mitti Ke Bete
Those sons of the soil, born of this very land, who never returned.

Jiske Liye Sardar Hamara Jhool Gaya Tha Fande Par
For whom our Sardar once swung from the gallows.

Dhool Nahi Lagne Di Humne Us Bedag Tirange Par
We never let a speck of dust touch that spotless tricolour.

Tera Dard Tu Jaane Baba, Main To Khushi Se Paagal Hoon
Only you know your pain, Father; I am mad with joy.

Jiski Godi Mein Khela Main Chala Usi Ke Kandhe Par
The one in whose lap I played, on her shoulder I now depart.

Laadle Jab Sarhad Jayenge, Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
When the beloved ones go to the border, they will be remembered like a choking sob.

Woh Mitti Ke Bete Jo Wapas Na Laute
Those sons of the soil who never returned.

O Chhalye, Yeh Kahaan Bata Tu Yaaron Ko Chhal Jaayega
O fate, tell me—where will you deceive our friends like this?

Jo Chadhata Sooraj Tha Apna Woh Aise Dhal Jaayega
The sun that once rose as ours will set like this.

Tere Bin Sarhad Se Hum Bhi Aadhe-Adhoore Lautenge
Without you, we too will return from the border incomplete.

Teri Chita Mein Dheere Se Kuchh Apna Bhi Jal Jaayega
Along with your pyre, a part of us will quietly burn away,

Yaar Gale Jab Lag Jaayenge, Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
When friends embrace each other, they will be remembered like a sob.

Woh Mitti Ke Bete Jo Wapas Na Laute
Those sons of the soil who never returned.

Mujhe Dard Kabhi Soch Hote Hi Nahi, Manvaas Khatm Hote Hi Nahi
I never feel pain while thinking; my longing never ends.

Chaukhat Pe Diye Jalte Hi Rahe, Kuchh Ram Kabhi Laute Hi Nahi
Lamps kept burning at the doorstep; some Ram never returned.

Mere Naam Ka Pyala Bhar Ke Barson Mein Pee Lena
Fill a cup in my name and drink it after years.

Baba Main To Raha Nahi Tu Meri Jawani Jee Lena
Father, I will no longer be here—live my youth for me.

Hum Jab Jan Gan Man Gawaayenge Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
When we sing the national anthem, we will be remembered like a sob.

Woh Mitti Ke Bete Jo Wapas Na Laute
Those sons of the soil who never returned.

Woh Mitti Ke Bete, Is Mitti Ke Bete
Those sons of the soil, sons of this very land.
