badal rahi hain jamee, badal raha hain aasma
badal rahi hawaye, aur badal raha jahaa
bahno tumhare samne, tedha sawal hain
manushy ke bhavisy ka, tumhe khayal hain
ghunghat nikal ke jo, tum yu sunghti rahi
kajal nayan me dal, phul sunghti rahi
nylon ki sariyo me, tan ubharti rahi
fashion pared me, umar gujarti rahi
mit jayega ye mulk, aur ye jyotiya tamaam
jo tum na tham loge aaj waqt ki lagam
bahno tumhare kandhe pe, gajab ka bhaar hain
svdharm ki svdesh ki, tumhe pukar hain
jago bhavishy ki matao
jago dharti ko sitao
jago puran aur geetao jago

mardo ke faisalo ka to, vahi purana dhang hain
dasi banakar hamko, rakhna chahte hain sang
aadat purani mardo ki kabhi na jayegi
tahjeeb inki hain, inhe yahi sikhayegi
bas hamse to inhe, rangeela pyaar chahiye
kuchh puchhne ka bhi, nahi adhikar chahiye
parda hatao dharm ka, ye sharm chhod do
aurat pe jo sitam kare, wo dharm chhod do
mardo ke karnamo ke hain, unke rang dhang
mardo ke haatho se sada hi hote aaye jung
ye jung ab na ho na, julmo ka kahi ho jor
bas aaj apane haath me lo inki bagdor
jago shanti ki avtai
jago shasan ki adhikari
jago ghar ghar ki sannari jago

vigyan ka inhe hua bada guman hain
mana ki chandr lok me gaya vimaan hain
atom banane waalo ko na itana dhayan hian
atom hi par khada hua, inka makan hain
rocket banake samjhte tarakki ho gyai
insaniyat ki neev aaj pakki ho gayi
din raat jhuthe khwab me hi jhulte hain ye
hona kya chahiye wo baat bhulte hain ye
apani grihasti chhod jane ghumte kidhar
saare jaha ka bas inhi ko hain laga fikar
taakat batorne ko hain inhe bada nasha
is khinch taan me na ho kabhi durdasha
jago he gyan ki balao
jago vijayi jai malao
jago jauhar ki jwalao jago

The earth shifts, the heavens rearrange,
The winds transform, the world's a changing stage.
Sisters, before you, a thorny query lies,
The future of mankind, before your eyes.

Veiled, you inhaled, scents of the earth,
With kohl-lined eyes, you savored floral birth.
In nylon sarees, your forms displayed,
In fashion's parade, your youthful years decayed.
These lands will vanish, and stars will fade,
If time's reins aren't grasped by the choice you've made.
Sisters, on your shoulders, a burden untold,
The call of self, of homeland, brave and bold.
Awake, mothers of tomorrow, rise!
Awake, Sitas of the Earth, arise!
Awake, from epics and songs that harmonize!

Men's ways remain, a familiar strain,
To keep us as slaves, in their domain.
Old habits die hard, their lessons ingrained,
Their culture demands that we remain chained.
They crave only pleasure, a colorful affair,
No right to question, no need to share.
Unveil the dharma, abandon the shame,
Release the oppressor, renounce the game.
Their deeds are etched in their own design,
Wars have been waged, their constant sign.
Let war now cease, let cruelty depart,
Seize the reins, embrace a brand new start.
Awake, avatars of peace, appear!
Awake, rulers of power, draw near!
Awake, the sunnari of every home, so clear!

Science swells their pride, a boastful sound,
Though rockets have reached the moon's ground.
Those who create atoms, their vision is blind,
Their house is built on this dangerous kind.
They make rockets, they think they've advanced,
That humanity's foundation is now enhanced.
Lost in false dreams, they continuously sway,
They forget what must happen, come what may.
Leaving their households, where do they roam?
They only care for the whole of their home.
The thirst for power, a potent embrace,
May disaster not come in this tangled space.
Awake, the maidens of wisdom's art!
Awake, with victory's wreath, a brand new start!
Awake, from the flames of sacrifice, from the heart!
