[Intro]
Aaj ki subah nasheeli si, bum-bum bugle ki dhun chali
Ali ki zidd, dil mein naara, sab mil ke keh do jaga jagai
[Verse 1]
Ali: Ammi, Ammi, aaj 14 August hai, mujhe jhanda chahiye
Ghar ki deewaron par har ghaav se nikle hai, green-white ki siye
Mohalle ki bachchi-mochi hansi, par Ali ki aag hai anagaahi
Chhote kadam, bade sapne, aaye hain aam ki khushboo saathi
[Pre-Chorus]
Ammi: Shanti se sunlo beta, zidd tumhari par mat bhoolo
Aaj ki raat mein tumhe pyara, phir bhi tumhe samjhata hoon
[Chorus]
Mujhe jhanda chahiye, jhanda chahiye, dil se kaha tumne aage
Meri Pakistan ki ana-ana, meri shaan ki yeh raah sajaye
Chhote sa bol humara, par jazba bada bana jaye
Jhanda se hi to pehchaan, azadi ki aawaaz aaye
[Verse 2]
Ammi: Ladkon ki baat sun, zidd se parivar ko khatra nahi
Abbu ki news ki ghanti bajegi, par tumhara sukoon hi raaz hai
Ali: Kyun na ho jhanda mere, jab desh ki pehchan ho saath saath
Sab ke chehre par khushi, jashn ki ghadi aaye raat raat
[Pre-Chorus]
Abbu: Beta, khushi ki raah par thodi si hassi chhote tubh
Nazdeek se dekh rha hoon tumhari juban ki narmi ko
[Chorus]
Mujhe jhanda chahiye, jhanda chahiye, dil se kaha tumne aage
Meri Pakistan ki ana-ana, meri shaan ki yeh raah sajaye
Chhote sa bol humara, par jazba bada bana jaye
Jhanda se hi to pehchaan, azadi ki aawaaz aaye
[Bridge]
Mohalle ke bachche: Dekho dekhoAli ki zid, par hum sab milke gungunayein
Badi yaari, choti si daleel, par desh ki basanti raahein chhayein
[Chorus]
Mujhe jhanda chahiye, jhanda chahiye, dil se kaha tumne aage
Meri Pakistan ki ana-ana, meri shaan ki yeh raah sajaye
Chhote sa bol humara, par jazba bada bana jaye
Jhanda se hi to pehchaan, azadi ki aawaaz aaye
[Outro]
Aaj ki subah, dil ki galiyon mein ek raunak si thi
Jhanda ki kiranon ke sang, bachcha muskuraya, zindagi hasin rahi
