do gharo ki aag me ghar hazaaro jal gaye
bekasur begunaah kitne haay mar gaye, mar gaye
bhul kiski thi
aur kis ko paaymaali ho gayi
thi jaha jagmag diwali raat kaali ho gayi
raat kaali ho gayi

chalne waalo ke sath sab chalte hai
girte huo ka daman koi thaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le

nazar fer kar jaane waale
nazar fer kar jaane waale
ek baar to dekh zara
ek baar to dekh zara
hum to teri bhule hai
tu humko pehchaan le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le

bhul gaye vo vaade apne
bhul gaye vo vaade apne
jo laakho ke bich diye
jo laakho ke bich diye
muh fer chala jab waqt pada
haay bedardi samaj ye
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le

aage badhne se darte hai
bharat jawan kyu, bharat jawan kyu
jinke dil me dard nahi hai
kahlaate insaan kyu, kahlaate insaan kyu
baithe hai ab tak mandir me chup
baithe hai ab tak mandir me chup
ho ke bhagwan kyu
dharti kyu na fat jaaye
gir jaaye na aasmaan kyu

girte huo ka daman koi thaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le
himmat se koi kaam le
sahas se koi kaam le

Thousands of homes consumed by fires' embrace,
Two houses ablaze, a world in desolate space.
Innocent souls, a tragic, mournful cry,
Who erred, whose folly caused the fallen to die?
Where Diwali's gleam once danced and shone so bright,
A darkened night descended, swallowing the light.
A shadowed night.

With those who walk, all journeys intertwine,
But who will reach, to lift the ones who decline?
Find courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.
With courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.

Turned away, their gaze averted, gone,
Turned away, their gaze averted, withdrawn.
Look back, I beg, just once, with gentle eyes,
Look back, I plead, before the moment dies.
We, your forgotten, still remember your name,
Recognize us, now, and rekindle the flame.
Find courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.

Forgotten vows, the promises they swore,
Forgotten vows, a million voices ignore.
When hardship struck, and shadows filled the air,
The heartless world turned, and did not care.
Find courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.

Why does young India fear the road ahead?
Why does young India fear, filled with dread?
If hearts hold no compassion, no sense of pain,
Why claim the name of human, again and again?
Silent now, within the temple's hold,
Why do the gods remain, stories untold?
Why not the earth to split, the heavens to fall?
Why do the heavens not fall on us all?

Who will reach, to lift the ones who decline?
Find courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.
Find courage in your heart, let action start,
And with audacity, play your vital part.
