Happy Independence Day
India turns 60!
While there are numerous songs one associates with 15 August, my favorite forever remains Lata singing the memorable lines penned down by Kavi Pradeep. Composed by C. Ramchandra.
Aye mere vatan ke logon tum khoob laga lo naara
ye shubh din hai ham sab ka lahara lo tiranga pyaara
par mat bhoolo seema par veeron ne hai praan ganvaaye
kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo jo laut ke ghar na aaye
Aye mere vatan ke logon zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
jo shaheed hue hain unki zara yaad karo qurbaani
jab ghayal hua himaalay khatre mein padi aazadi
jab tak thi saans lade vo phir apni laash bichha di
sangeen pe dhar kar maatha so gaye amar balidaani
jo shaheed...
Jab desh mein thi diwali vo khel rahe the holi
jab ham baithe the gharon mein vo jhel rahe the goli
the dhanya javaan vo aapane thi dhanya vo unki javaani
jo shaheed ...
Koi sikh koi jaat maraatha koi gurakha koi madaraasi
sarahad pe maranevaala har veer tha bhaaratavaasi
jo khoon gira parvat par vo khoon tha hindustaani
jo shaheed...
Thi khoon se lath-path kaaya phir bhi bandook uthaake
das-das ko ek ne maara phir gir gaye hosh ganva ke
jab ant-samay aaya to kah gaye ke ab marate hain
khush rahana desh ke pyaaron ab ham to safar karate hain
kya log the vo deewane kya log the vo abhimaani
jo shaheed...
Tum bhool na jaao unko is liye kahi ye kahaani
jo shaheed hue hain unki zara yaad karo qurbaani
jay hind jay hind ki sena
jay hind, jay hind, jay hind
A song that makes me tear up, each time. Here's to all the brave soldiers who have laid down their life so that I would live in peace. You will never be forgotten.

Nehru cried when Lata sang this song on the stage.
And then Nehru made us cry with his stupid politics.

Hi Sakshi,
Happy independence day to you too.
Thanks for the song.
It brought tears to my eyes. Never really paid attention to the words earlier. But when I went through it now it was so touching.

@All - Swantradiwas ki shubhkamnaye!
@Mazhalai- me too!
@Sameera - Thanks.
@Delphic- Are bahut dino ke baad! And we are still crying thanks to the entire Nehru-Gandhi parivar aatyachar ;)
@My classmate (S?)- Yeah. The song was penned by the poet at the end of the Indo-China war. We civilians forget the sacrifices (daily and in times of war) that these brave soldiers give , so that we may live in safety.
