తల్లి పేగు బంధం తెంచుకున్న త్యాగాలెన్నో,
ఉరితాడును ముద్దాడిన ఉసురులెన్నో,
కన్నీటి ప్రవాహంలో రగిలిన ఆకాంక్ష,
దశాబ్దాల నిరీక్షణకు దక్కిన మోక్షం.
పల్లె కన్నీరు పెడుతుంటే గుండె చెరువైన తీరు,
బిడ్డల బలిదానాలతో తడిసిన ఈ మట్టి పేరు,
అవమానాల ముళ్ల కంచెలు తెంచుకుని,
స్వేచ్ఛా వాయువులు పీల్చిన ఉదయమిది.
గుండెగూటిలో పదిలంగా దాచుకున్న స్వరాష్ట్ర స్వప్నం,
కళ్లెదుటే సాకారమైన వేళ అమరులకు మా అశ్రు నివాళి,
తరతరాల పాటు తలయెత్తుకుని వర్ధిల్లాలి,
మా ప్రాణమైన, మా రక్తమైన మన తెలంగాణం!
అమరులకు జోహార్లు! జై తెలంగాణ!
