Mitti Ke Bete Lyrics in English Letters (Romanized)
Kya Man Mauji Befikre The..Ae..
Kya Man Mauji Befikre The
Maut Pe Apne Hanste The
Dil Mein Watan Ko Rakhne Wale
Sar Pe Kafan Bhi Rakhte The
Hum Jo Tiranga Lehrayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Wo Mitti Ke Bete, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Wo Maa Ke Albele, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete
O..O..O..O.. Wo Mitti Ke Bete
O..O..O..O.. Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete
Jiske Liye Sardar Hamara
Jhool Gaya Tha Phande Par
Dhool Nahin Lagne Di Humne
Us Bedaag Tirange Par
Us Bedaag Tirange Par..
Us Bedaag Tirange Par
Tera Dard Tu Jaane Baba
Tera Dard Tu Jaane Baba
Main To Khushi Se Paagal Hoon
Jiski Godi Mein Khela Main
Chala Usi Ke Kandhe Par
Laadle Jab Sarhad Jaayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Wo Mitti Ke Bete, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Wo Maa Ke Albele, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete
O Chhaliye Kahan Pata Tha?
Tu Yaaron Ko Chhal Jaayega
Jo Chadhta Sooraj Tha Apna
Wo Aise Dhal Jaayega,
Wo Aise Dhal Jaayega
Wo Aise Dhal Jaayega
Tere Bin Sarhad Se Hum Bhi
Tere Bin Sarhad Se Hum Bhi
Aadhe-Adhoore Lautenge
Teri Chita Mein Dheere Se
Kuch Apna Bhi Jal Jaayega
Yaar Gale Jab Lag Jaayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Wo Mitti Ke Bete, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Wo Maa Ke Albele, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete
O O Ho..O O Ho..
O O Ho..O O Ho..
Kuch Dard Kabhi Sote Hi Nahin
Vanvaas Khatam Hote Hi Nahin
Chaukhat Pe Diye Jalte Hi Rahe
Kuch Ram Kabhi Laute Hi Nahin
Kuch Ram Kabhi Laute Hi Nahin
Kuch Ram Kabhi Laute Hi Nahin
Mere Naam Ka Pyala Bhar Ke, Ho..O..
Mere Naam Ka Pyala Bhar Ke
Barsaaton Mein Pee Lena
Baba Main To Raha Nahin
Tu Meri Jawani Jee Lena
Hum Jab Jan Gan Man Gaayenge
Hichki Banke Yaad Aayenge
Wo Mitti Ke Bete, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Wo Maa Ke Albele, Jo Wapas Na Laute
Jo Wapas Na Laute, Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete
O..O..O..O.. Wo Mitti Ke Bete
O..O..O..O.. Wo Mitti Ke Bete
Is Mitti Ke Bete...!

Mitti Ke Bete Song Description
This song is "Woh Mitti Ke Bete" (Those Sons of the Soil), which has been created for the movie Border 2. The music is given by Mithoon and it is sung by the legendary singer Sonu Nigam, while the lyrics are written by Manoj Muntashir. This song is filled with patriotic emotions and is dedicated to those martyred soldiers who sacrifice everything in the defense of the motherland.
The lyrics of this song give a poignant description of the soldiers' lives and their sacrifice. The first part describes how they were carefree and full of life, laughed at death, and marched ahead with their heads wrapped in shrouds, all while carrying the concern for their homeland in their hearts. The song says that when we will hoist the tricolor, these martyrs will be remembered like a sudden pang of remembrance. The main line, "Woh Mitti Ke Bette, Jo Vaapas Na Laute" (Those sons of the soil, who did not return), is repeated, reminding us of those immortal sacrifices. The lyrics also express the sentiment that they gave everything to keep the tricolor spotless, and only they know their pain. Yet, they are content that they were martyred resting their head upon the very soil on which they spent their childhood.
In the later part, the song becomes even more emotional, describing how parting from comrades gives pain, and how the warrior who shone like the sun sets forever. The lyrics say that returning from the border without them feels incomplete, and that a part of us burns in their funeral pyre. The final part has deep philosophical thoughts, like some pains never sleep and some heroes never return. The final lines are a soldier's appeal to his loved ones to celebrate his youth, and that whenever "Jan Gan Man" (the national anthem) is sung, these martyrs will be remembered. This song is a powerful composition on patriotism, sacrifice, and eternal memory, which touches the hearts of the listeners.
