"Teri Mitti" (transl. Your soil) is a patriotic Hindi song, written by Manoj Muntashir, composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee, and sung by singer B Praak. It was released in March 2019 and featured on the soundtrack of the 2019 Hindi film Kesari, starring Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra, who later sang the female version. The aim of the song was to reflect a dying soldier's last thoughts in the film's final scene.
Nominated for best lyrics at the Filmfare Award in February 2020, when the song lost to "Apna Time Aayega" from Gully Boy, Muntashir's disappointment was relayed in a tweet, making headlines in the press in India that month.
On 24 April 2020, with an image of a doctor embracing a map of India, a reprise of the song was released as a tribute to healthcare workers, police and other essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
