Jage hain ab sare log tere dekh watan
Unche hain naron se ab ye zameen aur gagan
Kal tak main tanha tha soone the sab raste
Kal tak tanha tha par ab hain sath mere lakhon logo ki dhadkan dekh watan
A typical A R Rahman music with high beats fully fit for the movie filming an era when India was planning to struggle for freedom.

- Desh ki mitti: Sonu Nigam, Anuradha Sriram
Mujhe yaad aati hai, mujhe yaad aati hai

Mujhe yaad aati hai
Kabhi behlati hai, kabhi tadpati hai
Mujhe yaad aati hai apne desh ki mitti
A slow, melodious, sweet song. Remembering country like one remembers his girl friend. This love for country for freedom fighters was just like that. Today we know only one meaning of Ishq & Love. Poweful lyrics by Javed Akhtar.

Nindiya rani sapne de do, munne ke naino ko

- Jana Gana Mana
National Anthem instrumental. Good to listen anytime anywhere. Full marks. I remember in olden days at the end of a movie in theatres, they used to play National Anthem and all used to stand up. Never came to know why it was stopped.

- Kadam Kadam: Vijay Prakash
Kadam kadam bdayeja, khushi ke geet gayeja
Ye zindagi hai kaum ki, tu kaum pe lutayeja
Again a joshila song telling to not to fear of your life, fight with the enemy and achieve your goals. Most of our parents would know this lyrics already. Used to be very popular in earlier generation schools, functions etc.

- Zikr: A R Rahman, Rafi, Shaukar Ali
Zikr hai behtar nafrat se, zikr hai behtar seerat se
Ruhe muhammad
Allah hu hu Allah hu hu, la ilaha il lilah
Har gul mein har shai mein
Nijaad milti hai unko yakeenan karein jo
Frankly speaking, listened to this song many times, but could not understand the words and meanings completely. Only message I could get is that it said about dropping the hatered among each other and fight together against the enemy.

- Ekla Chalo: Nachiketa Chakraborty, Sonu Nigam
A well know song by ravindra nath tagore – ekla chalo ekla chalo. His song’s first lines have been used and then lyrics by Javed Akhtar has been added.
Nachiketa: ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo re
Sonu: Tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
Ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
Bojh kitna bhi ho mushkilon ka magar
Na jhuka hai na jhukega ye sar
Bazi par lagane ki khatir
Ham jaan hatheli par laaye
This means that even if others don’t come forward for the country, don’t wait, and don’t hesitate in fighting alone and get killed instead of living like this.
Lyrics: 4.5
Music: 4.5/5

In most of the songs trumpets, drums have been used, not in all songs only where appropriately required.
