naa munh chhupake jiyo aur naa sar jhuka ke jiyo
gamon kaa daur bhee aaye toh muskura ke jiyo
naa munh chhupake jiyo aur naa sar jhuka ke jiyo

ghata me chhupake sitare fana nahee hote
andheree rat me diye jala ke chalo
naa munh chhupake jiyo aur naa sar jhuka ke jiyo

yeh jindagee kisee manjil pe ruk nahee sakatee
har ik makam pe kadam badhake chalo
naa munh chhupake jiyo aur, naa sar jhuka ke jiyo

Not to hide your face, nor bow your head,
Even when sorrow's reign descends, smile instead.
Not to hide your face, nor bow your head.

Stars, hidden by clouds, do not cease to be,
In the darkest night, light your candle, free.
Not to hide your face, nor bow your head.

This life cannot halt at any shore,
At every station, stride evermore.
Not to hide your face, nor bow your head.
