aaj ki aawaz
aaj ki aawaz jaag aye insan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz jaag aye insan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz

jindagi kitni behifazat hai
kal bhi aayega kya jamanat hai
din paresan hai rat hai hairan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz

dar ke saye me agar jawa hongi
ye nayi nashle kal kaha hongi
hosh me aa ja ab to aye nadan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz

kya nagar hai ye kaisi basti hai
yahan to mitti se jan sashti hai
jindagi muskil maut hai asan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz

dekh ghar aangan lut nahi jaye
pyar ke rishte chut nahi jaye
kal bachane ka aaj hi kar dhyan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz jag aye insan
waqt kahta hai waqt ko pahchan
aaj ki aawaz

The voice of today,
Awake, O mortal, arise!
Time itself whispers, know time's guise.
The voice of today,
Awake, O mortal, arise!
Time itself whispers, know time's guise.
The voice of today.

Life, a fragile, trembling thing,
Tomorrow's promise, what will it bring?
Day distressed, night unsure,
Time itself whispers, its lesson to endure.
The voice of today.

If fear's dark shadow, the young will embrace,
Where will the future find its space?
Wake, foolish heart, before it’s too late,
Time itself whispers, sealing your fate.
The voice of today.

What city is this, this wretched domain?
Where life is cheap, born of dust and pain.
Life's a struggle, death a gentle release,
Time itself whispers, demanding your peace.
The voice of today.

Watch, lest your home and garden be plundered,
Love's sacred bonds, never be sundered.
Tomorrow’s salvation, begin this day,
Time itself whispers, show you the way.
The voice of today.
Time itself whispers, know time's guise.
The voice of today.
