ऐ मेरे वतन् के लोगो! तुम खूब लगा लो नारा ! ये शुभदिन है हम सबका! लहरा लो तिरंगा प्यारा पर मत भूलो सीमा पर! वीरों ने है प्राण गँवाए! कुछ याद उन्हें भी कर लो -२! जो लौट के घर न आए -२ ऐ मेरे वतन के लोगो!
Running for over five decades, 'Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo', sung by the 'Nightingale of India' Lata Mangeshkar, is the most remarkable patriotic song ever.
