नौजवान आओ रे, नौजवान गाओ रे ।। लो क़दम बढ़ाओ रे, लो क़दम मिलाओ रे ।। ऐ वतन के नौजवान, इक चमन के बागवान । एक साथ बढ़ चलो, मुश्किलों से लड़ चलो । इस महान देश को नया बनाओ रे ।। नौजवान...
धर्म की दुहाइयाँ, प्रांत की जुदाइयाँ । भाषा की लड़ाइयाँ, पाट दो ये खाइयाँ । एक माँ के लाल, एक निशां उठाओ रे ।। नौजवान...
एक बनो नेक बनो, ख़ुद की भाग्य रेखा बनो । सर्वोदय के तुम हो लाल, तुमसे यह जग निहाल । शांति के लिए जहाँ को तुम जगाओ रे ।। नौजवान...
माँ निहारती तुम्हें, माँ पुकारती तुम्हें । श्रम के गीत गाते जाओ, हँसते मुस्कराते जाओ । कोटि कण्ठ एकता के गान गाओ रे ।। नौजवान...
