Mera joota hai Japani
yeh patloon Englishtani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani
yeh patloon Englishtani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani …

Nikal pade hain
khulli sadak par
aapna seena taane
aapna seena taane
manzil kahan,
kahan rukna hai
uparwala jane
uparwala jane
badte jayen hum sailani
jaise ek dariya kyun pani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani
yeh patloon Englishtani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani …
Upar niche, niche upar
leher chale jeevan ki
leher chale jeevan ki
naadan hai jo baith kinare
puche raaha watan ki
puche raaha watan ki
chalna jeevan ki kahani
rukna maut ki nishani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani
yeh patloon Englishtani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani …

Honge raaje raajkunwar
hum bigde dil sehezade
bigde dil sehezade
hum singhashan par ja baithe
jab jab karein iradhe
jab jab karein iradhe
surat hai jani pehechani
duniyawalon ko hairani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani
yeh patloon Englishtani
sar pe laal topi Russee
phir bhi dil hai Hindustani
mera joota hai Japani
