रुके न तू थके न तू – हरिवंश राय बच्चन (Ruke Na Tu Thake Na Tu- Harivansh Rai Bachchan)

रुके न तू

धरा हिला, गगन गुँजा

नदी बहा, पवन चला

विजय तेरी, विजय तेरीे

ज्योति सी जल, जला

भुजा–भुजा, फड़क–फड़क

रक्त में धड़क–धड़क

धनुष उठा, प्रहार कर

तू सबसे पहला वार कर

अग्नि सी धधक–धधक

हिरन सी सजग सजग

सिंह सी दहाड़ कर

शंख सी पुकार कर

रुके न तू, थके न तू

झुके न तू, थमे न तू

सदा चले, थके न तू

रुके न तू, झुके न तू

ruke na too

dhara hila, gagan gunja

nadee baha, pavan chala

vijay teree, vijay tereee

jyoti see jal, jala

bhuja–bhuja, phadak–phadak

rakt mein dhadak–dhadak

dhanush utha, prahaar kar

too sabase pahala vaar kar

agni see dhadhak–dhadhak

hiran see sajag sajag

sinh see dahaad kar

shankh see pukaar kar

ruke na too, thake na too

jhuke na too, thame na too

sada chale, thake na too

ruke na too, jhuke na too

don't you stop

The earth shook, the sky echoed

the river flows, the wind blows

Vijay Teri, Vijay Teri

water like flame, burn

arm-arm, flutter-flap

throbbing in the blood

raise the bow and strike

you strike first

blazing like fire

alert like a deer

roar like a lion

call like a conch

Don't stop, don't get tired

Don't bow down, don't stop

Always walk, don't get tired

Don't stop, don't bow down
