Kadam kadam badhaye ja
Gm
Khushi ke geet gaye ja
Ab
Ye zindagi hai qaum kee
Eb Cm
Too qaum pe lutaaye ja
Cm
Too sher-e-hind aage badh
Gm
Marane se too kabhee na dar
Ab
Uda ke dushmanon ka sar
Eb Cm
Josh-e-vatan badhaye ja
Kadam kadam badhaye ja...
Teree himmat badhatee rahe
Khuda teree sunata rahe
Jo saamane tere ade
To khaak mein milaaye ja
Kadam kadam badhaye ja...
Chalo dillee pukaar ke
Gam-e-nishaan sambhaal ke
Laal kile pe gaad ke
Laharaaye ja laharaaye ja
Kadam kadam badhaye ja...
