are santi maar raha sansar, ab tu aane de lalkar
teri to bahe patwar, kadam hai tere hahakaar
teri nas nas loha taar tu hai aag milkha
o bas tu bhag milkha
are chhod de bite kal ki bori
kaat de rassi sutli dori, tujhse puchhegi ye matti
karke sans sans ko bhatti ab tu jaag milkha
bas tu bhag milkha

o sariya o kashti
o sariya o sariya oye mod de aag ka dariya
o kashti o kashti o dub jane me hi hai hasti
o jungle o jungle aaj sheharo se hai tera dangle
ab tu bhag bhag bhag milkha, ab tu bhag milkha

dhua dhua dhamkaye dhul, raah me raane baan-shool
taan le armano ke chaaku, mushkil ho gayi sari daaku
tu ban ja naag naag naag naag naag milkha
ab tu bhag milkha

tera to bistar hai maidan, odhna dharti teri shan
tere sarhane hai chattan, pahan le pura aasman
tu pagdi bandh milkha
ab tu bhag milkha bhag milkha bhag milkha
ab tu bhag bhag bhag bhag bhag milkha
ab tu bhag milkha

bhawar bhawar hai chakkar chakkar chakkar
godi me uthaya maa ne chakkar chakkar chakkar
godi uthaya babu ne chakkar chakkar chakkar
bhawar bhawar hai aaj khel tu
bhawar ko khel bana de, aandhiya rail bana le
patkhani de uljhan ko chikh bana de sargam ko

o chakkar o chakkar o chakkar chakkar chakkar
utaar ke phenk de sab janjaal, bite kal ka har kankal
tere talve hai teri naal, tujhe to karna hai har haal
ab tu jaag milkha jaag milkha jaag milkha
ab tu bhag milkha

khol tu rath ke pahiye khol bana ke chakkar sudarshan gol
jung ke fite kas ke bandh khuli hai aaj sher ki mang
tu goli daag milkha daag milkha daag milkha
ab tu bhag bhag bhag milkha, ab tu bhag milkha

daant se kaat le bijli taar chaba le taambe ki chhankaar
phunk de khud ko jwala jwala bin khud jale na hoye ujala
lapat hai aag milkha aag milkha aag milkha
ab tu bhag milkha ab tu jag milkha

tu ban ja naag milkha, tu pagdi bandh milkha
tu goli daag milkha
ho tu hai aag milkha ho tu bhag milkha
ab tu bhag bhag bhag milkha, ab tu bhag milkha

The world is a beast, it strikes and it roars,
Let your challenge now be the opening of doors.
Your arms are the oars, your footsteps the thunder,
A blaze in your veins, tearing the world asunder.
You are the fire, Milkha, so run,
Just run, Milkha, and the race is begun.

Leave behind the burdens of yesterday’s hold,
Sever the strings, the stories untold.
The earth will whisper, this soil you tread,
Fan every breath, ignite your head.
Now arise, Milkha, and the dawn you greet,
Just run, Milkha, your victory is sweet.

Oh, the mast, oh, the ship,
Oh, the mast, oh, the mast, bend the fiery strip.
Oh, the ship, oh, the ship,
In drowning, your mirth, your joyous trip.
Oh, the forest, oh, the forest,
Your duel now with cities, the greatest contest.
Now run, run, run, Milkha, the fight is on,
Now run, Milkha, until the day is gone.

The dust swirls, the drums beat the pace,
Arrows of sorrow, in this desolate place.
Draw your desires, sharp as a knife,
The challenges, like a robber's strife.
Become the cobra, cobra, snake of might,
Now run, Milkha, into the infinite light.

Your bed is the field, the earth your embrace,
The heavens are your robe, the vast, boundless space.
The rock at your head, your pillow of stone,
Wear the entire sky, and let it be known.
Tie your turban, Milkha, head held so high,
Now run, Milkha, beneath the endless sky.
Run, Milkha, run, run,
Now run, run, run, run, run, Milkha,
Now run, Milkha.

Whirl, swirl, the circle spins,
Mother's arms, where life begins.
Father's embrace, the spinning game,
Whirl, swirl, your spirit's flame.
Make the whirl your play,
Turn the storms to a rail,
Give the troubles a fall,
Turn the screams into melodies, make the music’s call.
Oh, the circle, oh, the circle, oh, the circle spins,
Cast off the chains, the past's decay,
The soles of your feet, your guiding way,
You must, you will, in every way,
Now arise, Milkha, to face the day.
Wake, Milkha, wake, wake,
Now run, Milkha.

Unleash the chariot's wheel,
Spin the Sudarshan, the perfect reel.
Tighten the war's bands,
The lion's mane, unwound, commands.
Fire your shot, Milkha, fire,
Now run, run, run, Milkha, higher and higher.
Now run, Milkha.

Bite through the live wire's hold,
Chew the clash, the story told.
Breathe yourself to the fiery roar,
Without your burning, no light to pour.
A flame you are, Milkha, blaze,
Now run, Milkha, the sun’s bright rays.
Now arise, Milkha, and your soul will ignite,
You are the cobra, Milkha, now take flight,
Tie your turban, the winds will know,
Fire your shot, let the victory grow.
You are the fire, Milkha, with every stride,
Oh, run, Milkha, with nothing to hide,
Now run, run, run, Milkha,
Now run, Milkha.
