dosto naam karna hai, aisa kaam karna hai
ai dosto naam karna hai, ha aisa kaam karna hai
aaye padhne hum yaha, hai irade bhi jawa
aisa college hai kaha
dosto naam karna hai, aisa kaam karna hai
aaye padhne ham yaha, hai irade bhi jawa
aisa college hai kaha

history ho ya geography ho ye dono hai bewafa
sari sari raat rate ham ho ye savere safa
hey socho socho yeh professor kyun hai humse yun khafa
humne iski class chhod i, humne bhi ki hai khata
yeh humko humko hai pata hai pata, ye dega humko saja
ai dosto naam karna hai, are aisa kaam karna hai
ha dosto naam karna hai, ha aisa kaam karna hai

hey basket upar ball khadi hai, socho socho kya kare
mushkil kaisi aa padi hai, isko utaro jara
hey yaro yeh kya ho raha hai, puchho naa kya dard hai
yaro yeh kya ho raha hai, puchho naa kya dard hai
tansen kyun ro raha hai, isko hansaye chalo
yaha laila, laila majnu mile
majnu mile, yaro sab ke dil khile

ai hey hey dosto naam karna hai, ha aisa kaam karna hai
ho dosto naam karna hai, are aisa kaam karna hai
aaye padhne hum yaha, hai irade bhi jawa
aisa college hai kaha

To etch a name, a deed of worth,
Oh friends, a name upon this earth!
To rise and learn, with youthful fire,
Where stands such halls of high desire?
To etch a name, a deed of worth,
To rise and learn, with youthful fire,
Where stands such halls of high desire?

Though History and Geography, both,
Prove fickle, fleeing, void of troth.
The nights we spent in endless quest,
Morn’s light erased, put to the test.
Why does the professor’s gaze take flight?
We fled his class, with all our might!
We know, we know, the looming dread,
This punishment will fill our head!
Oh friends, a name, a deed of worth,
Oh friends, a name upon this earth!

The basket waits, the ball held high,
Consider now, what can we try?
Such hardship, placed before our eyes,
Let’s bring it down, beneath the skies.
What turmoil comes, what hidden pain?
What turmoil comes, again, again?
Tansen weeps, let laughter ring,
And lovers meet, their joyful spring.
Here, Layla, Majnu, hearts entwined,
Oh friends, let every soul be kind!

Oh friends, a name, a deed of worth,
Oh friends, a name upon this earth!
To rise and learn, with youthful fire,
Where stands such halls of high desire?
