Qadam Qadam Badhaye Ja

"Qadam Qadam Badhaye Ja" (Hindi: क़दम क़दम बढ़ाये जा; Urdu: قدم قدم بڑھائے جا) was the regimental quick march of Indian National Army commanded by Netaji.

Written by Vanshidhar Shukla and composed by Ram Singh Thakuri in 1942, it was banned by the British in India after World War II as seditious.

It has been re-interpreted by various Indian musicians including C. Ramachandra, A. R. Rahman and recently by Indraadip Dasgupta in the film Gumnaami (2019) by Srijit Mukherji.

تو شیر ہند آگے بڑھ مرنے سے تو کبھی نہ ڈر اڑا کے دشمنوں کا سر جوش وطن بڑھائے جا

قدم قدم بڑھائے جا خوشی کے گیت گائے جا یہ زندگی ہے قوم کی تو قوم پے لٹائے جا Qadam qadam baṛhāye jā khushī ke gīt gāye jā ye zindagī hai qaum kī tū qaum pe lutāye jā

Tū sher-e-hind āge baṛh marne se tū kabhī na dar uṛā ke dushmanon kā sar josh-e-watan baṛhāye jā

Himmat terī baṛhtī rahe khudā terī suntā rahe jo sāmne tere khaṛe tū khāq men milāye jā
