banaye ja bigade ja bigade ja banaye ja
banaye ja bigade ja bigade ja banaye ja
ke ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja

har kadam pe sath hai andhere bhi ujale bhi
har kadam pe sath hai andhere bhi ujale bhi
kaisi teri shan hai giraye bhi sambhale bhi
jo na kabhi dekhe vo tamashe tu dhikhaye ja
ke ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
banaye ja bigade ja bigade ja banaye ja

sar pe saya maut ka hai aur hamko jina hai
sar pe saya maut ka hai aur hamko jina hai
apne hatho apne hi dil ke jakhm sina hai
jo tujhe manjur hai vo kaam tu karaye ja
ke ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
banaye ja bigade ja bigade ja banaye ja

mana ye sab khel hai kismat ki lakiro ka
mana ye sab khel hai kismat ki lakiro ka
phir bhi tere hath hai faisla taqdiro ka
duniya ki taqdiro ko jagaye ja sulaye ja
ke ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja
ham tere chirag hai jalaye ja bhujaye ja

Create and unmake, unmake and create,
Create and unmake, unmake and create.
For we are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us.

At every step, shadows and light attend,
At every step, shadows and light attend.
Such is your glory, to break and to mend,
Show us a spectacle, unseen, unannounced.
For we are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
Create and unmake, unmake and create.

Death’s shadow falls, yet we must live on,
Death’s shadow falls, yet we must live on.
With our own hands, we mend the heart's wounds,
Let us do what you will, what you command.
For we are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
Create and unmake, unmake and create.

We know it's a game, the lines of fate's decree,
We know it's a game, the lines of fate's decree.
Yet, in your hands, lies destiny's key,
Awaken the world's fates, lull them to sleep.
For we are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us,
We are your lamps, ignite us, extinguish us.
