Andhi lakeeron ki aankhein nahi hain
wahaan bas hain kaale savere
zubaan pe sach ka samandar chale sar uthaaye
to jeene ka jazba kyun thehre
The blind lines have no eyes,
there are just dark mornings there.
If the sea of truth hold its head high on the tongue,
[i.e., if we all speak the truth]
why would the will to live ever stop..
Jiye kyun dharmon adharmon ka bandhan,
kyun ho rasmon rivaajon ki uljhan,
haathon mein haq ho sabhi ke
ho kadmon mein manzil
bulandi pe ho naam sabka,
Why should the ties of religions and injustice be there,
Why should there be the confusion of traditions,
There should be rights in everyone's hands,
and destination in everybody's feet..
Everyone's name should be on the peak..
Yehi dua, dua mein yehi ilteja hai
Jiyoon main, jiye mera desh..
Yahi dua, dua mein yahi ilteja hai
Jiyoon main, jiye mera desh..
This is the prayer, in prayer this is the request,
that I live, and my country lives.
