gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa
gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa

pukaarataa hai aasamaan
badal hi jaayegaa jahaan
bahaar aa hi jaayegi guzar hi jaayegi khizaan

gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa
gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa

sitam ke tir khaaye jaa
magar kadam badhaaye jaa
yahi hai shaan-e-zindagi naye diye jalaaye jaa
tu aansuo ke saaz par khushi ke git gaaye jaa

gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa
gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa

zami bhi tere saath aasamaan bhi saath hai
jo tu jahaan ke saath hai, jahaan bhi tere saath hai
ye rit hai jahaan ki ye git hai nasib kaa
amir khaa chukaa bahut zamaanaa hai garib kaa
zamaanaa hai garib kaa, zamaanaa hai garib kaa

gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa
gaaye chalaa jaa gaaye chalaa jaa
ek din teraa bhi zamaanaa aayegaa

Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
The heavens call out,
The world will surely shift about.
Spring will come, it will abound,
And winter's chill will leave the ground.

Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
Bear the arrows of pain,
Yet, let your footsteps remain.
This is the life, its vibrant art,
Kindling new flames within the heart.
Upon the tears' string, let joy ignite,
Sing songs of happiness with all your might.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.

The earth is with you, the heavens too,
If you stand with the world, the world stands with you.
This is the world's way, fate's own decree,
The rich have feasted, now the poor are free.
The poor's time has arrived, the poor's time has arrived.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
Sing on, keep singing on,
A day will dawn when yours is the song.
