aaj puraani zanjeeron ko tod chuke hain
kyaa dekhen us manzil ko jo chhod chuke hain
chaand ke dar pe jaa pahunchaa hai aaj zamaanaa
naye jagat se ham bhi naataa jod chuke hain
nayaa khoon hai nayi umangen, ab hai nayi jawaani
ham hindustaani, ham hindustaani
ham hindustaani, ham hindustaani
ham hindustaani, ham hindustaani
chhodo kal ki baaten, kal ki baat puraani
naye daur mein likhenge, mil kar nayi kahaani
ham hindustaani, ham hindustaani
What a great idea and what a great selection of songs for today, Atul! I know most of the songs well, and have enjoyed listening to them today. Such a refreshing change from the Indian channel we have where all we got today was a few patriotic songs in the morning, to be followed by loud, noisy movies which had nothing to do with Republic Day. Thanks again!
Yes, this is a very nice patriotic song. It does not boast about the greatness of the country, rather this song talks about looking forward to the future with cautious optimism. This is a patriotic song with its feet firmly on the ground, so to say.
Each song you comment on is a nugget from the past. Heard in childhood, it inspired us with the dream of being born in the new India where all things were possible. Sixty years later, it saddens us, when we recall how that bus was missed by the country.
