Kadam kadam badaye ja
Khushi ke geeth gaaye ja
Yeh zindagi he quam ke
Tu quam pe lootaye ja

(March, March on forward
Singing songs of happiness as you go
This life belongs to our motherland
Lay it down for the motherland)



Tu sher-e-hind aage bad
Marne se tu kabhi na darr
Udaake dushmano ka sarr
Josh-e-vatan badaye ja

(You are the Tiger of India
Never fear death
Blow away the enemy's head
Raise the spirits of your comrades)

Kadam .... Lootaye ja

Himmat tera badti rahe
Khuda teri sunta rahe
Jo samne tere Khade
Tu khank me milaye ja

(Let your courage constantly increase
The lord listens to you {your prayers}
Anyone who stands in your way
You stamp him to dust)

Kadam .... Lootaye ja

Chalo Dilli pukar ke
Quami-nishan sambhal ke
Lal quile pe ghad ke
Lahrayein ja lahrayein ja

("For Delhi" you scream
Hold your flag high
Plant it on the Lal Quila (Red Fort)
Let it fly, let it fly)

Kadam .... Lootaye ja
