Mai Amar Shahido ka Charan (Hindi: मैं अमर शहीदों का चारण; IAST: maiṃ amara śahīdoṃ kā cāraṇa) is a popular Hindi-language poem written by Srikrishna Saral (1919-2000).[1]

Refrain and example verse

Every stanza in the poem end with a couplet carrying the same line: maim amara shahidom ka charana unake yasha gaya karata hum (I sing the praises of the immortal martyrs). Using a very simple language, Saral articulates India's revolutionaries, the freedom movement and patriotic ferver with his work and reminds the new generation of the country the virtue of the freedom struggle and the martyrs associated with it.[2][3]

Hindi IAST Romanization English translation

मैं अमर शहीदों का चारण

उनके गुण गाया करता हूँ जो कर्ज राष्ट्र ने खाया है,

मैं उसे चुकाया करता हूँ।

maiṃ amara śahīdoṃ kā cāraṇa,

unake guṇa gāyā karatā hūm̐. jo karja rāṣṭra ne khāyā hai,

maiṃ use cukāyā karatā hūm̐.

I am a Charan of the immortal martyrs,

I sing their praises.

The debt that the nation has incurred,

I repay the same debt.
