kab tak yeh duniya aankho ko meeche
soti rahegi takiye ke neeche
zubaan pe taale rakhenge kab tak
khunti se khaab bandhe rahenge kab tak
awaaz do apne dil ko, azaadiya haasil ho
awaaz do apne dil ko, azaadiya haasil ho

jin kadmo me ho chalta junun, roke ruke woh kaha
jin baaho ko thaame yakeen, thame use yeh jahaan, yeh jahaan
jin kadmo me ho chalta junun, roke ruke woh kaha
jin baaho ko thaame yakeen, thaame usse yeh jahaan
ud jaane do, beh jaane do
khudi ko do parwaz woh, khuda ke dil ko choo le jo
awaaz do apne dil ko, azaadiya haasil ho
awaaz do apne dil ko, azaadiya haasil ho

How long will the world, eyes veiled,
Sleep beneath the pillows, frail?
How long the tongues, in shackles bound,
Will dreams hang tethered, earthward crowned?
Call to your heart, let freedom ignite,
Call to your heart, and claim the light.

Where passion treads, no barriers stay,
Where faith embraces, worlds obey,
Where passion treads, no barriers stay,
Where faith embraces, worlds obey.
Let it soar, let it flow,
Let self take flight, where heavens glow,
And touch the heart of the One above,
Call to your heart, and taste His love,
Call to your heart, let freedom ignite.
