That will give you version of mysql client you're running,
That seems to have been what the original question was.

For version of mysql server, after successful connection to mysql, use
status command.
mysql> status
Or

telnet to port 3306 of server running mysql
C:\>telnet  192.168.1.2  3306
you'll see few garbage and mysql version number in there too.
Re: that latter suggestion, it's easier to simply issue this query from
the mysql client:
mysql> SHOW VERSION();

Then you don't have to ignore all the garbage characters. :-)
