sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke
sikke himmat ke batore
sikke taakat ke yoon jode
baahe gham ki hum marodein hauslo se
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke

ye zindagi lubhati hai, yaha hain rang kai
ye zindagi daraati hai, ye mushkilein kai
yahaan pe waqt ne hain ki saazishein nayi
aye zindagi tu sun le hum bhi kam nahi
kabhi to haan chhantega dhuaan
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke

sikke himmat ke batore
sikke taakat ke yoon jode
baahe gham ki hum marodein hauslo se
sikke armaano ke, sikke hauslo ke

Coins of yearning, coins of burning,
Coins of courage, brightly turning,
Coins of hope, in hands we're earning,
Strength's currency, our spirits learning.
Arms of sorrow, we are turning,
By the fire of hopes, still burning.
Coins of yearning, coins of burning.

Life's a temptress, hues so many,
Life's a terror, trials aplenty.
Time weaves plots, a cruel design,
Oh, Life, you'll see, we will not decline.
Someday the smoke will thin and flee.
Coins of yearning, coins of burning,
Coins of yearning, coins of burning.

Coins of courage, brightly turning,
Coins of hope, in hands we're earning,
Strength's currency, our spirits learning.
Arms of sorrow, we are turning,
By the fire of hopes, still burning.
Coins of yearning.
