kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me
khade raho bas bebas hokar raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me

kapde ho maile, munh kala kala
ho wo suraiya ya madhubala
aa ho
ho wo suraiya ya madhubala
bade bade bhi ban jaya karte hai joker raste me
bade bade bhi ban jaya karte hai joker raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me

baar baar handle ko ghumaya
dhakke de de sar chakraya
dhakke de de sar chakraya
nikal gaya hai apna to haye re kachumar raste me
nikal gaya hai apna to haye re kachumar raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me

tel pilaya dala pani
par jalim ne ek na mani
par jalim ne ek na mani
yaad aati hai humko nani ab ro ro kar raste me
yaad aati hai humko nani ab ro ro kar raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me

sach kahti hai duniya sari
chalti ka hi nam hai gadi
chalti ka hi nam hai gadi
moter bhi chakda hai jab ho jaye panchar raste me
moter bhi chakda hai jab ho jaye panchar raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me
khade raho bas bebas hokar raste me
kabhi na bigde kisi ki moter raste me

May no chariot break, on any road,
May no chariot break.

Stand helpless now, bearing the heavy load,
May no chariot break.

Though clothes be stained, and faces grim,
Be she Suraiya, or a vision dim,
Ah,
Be she Suraiya, or a vision dim,
Even the great become clowns, on the road,
Even the great become clowns, on the road,
May no chariot break.

Again and again the wheel is turned,
Pushing and pushing, the head now burned,
Pushing and pushing, the head now burned,
We're utterly ruined, on this road,
We're utterly ruined, on this road,
May no chariot break.

Oil we pour, and water too,
Yet the cruel beast, will not see us through,
Yet the cruel beast, will not see us through,
Grandmother's words, now we sadly rue,
Grandmother's words, now we sadly rue,
May no chariot break.

The world proclaims, with honest sound,
Movement's the life, that can be found,
Movement's the life, that can be found,
A chariot's just a cart, when flat on the ground,
A chariot's just a cart, when flat on the ground,
May no chariot break.
Stand helpless now, bearing the heavy load,
May no chariot break.
