"ਸੇਵਾ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੀ ਜਿੰਦੜੀਅੇ ਬੜੀ ਔਖੀ,

ਗੱਲਾਂ ਕਰਨੀਆਂ ਢੇਰ ਸੁਖੱਲੀਆਂ ਨੇ,

ਜਿੰਨੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਚ ਪੈਰ ਪਾਇਆ,

ਓਹਨਾ ਲੱਖ ਮੁਸੀਬਤਾਂ ਝੱਲੀਆਂ ਨੇ."

"सेवा देश दी जिन्दड़ीए बड़ी औखी,

गल्लां करनियाँ ढेर सौखल्लियाँ ने,

जिन्ना देश सेवा विच पैर पाया,

ओन्ना लख मुसीबतां झल्लियाँ ने|"

"Serving ones country is very difficult
It is so easy to talk
Anyone who walked on that path
Must endure millions of calamities"
