chale chale to kya chale hum, ude agar to baat hai
chale chale to kya chale hum, ude agar to baat hai
jiye jiye to kya jiye hum, lade agar to baat hai

jaage hai chaurahe, kadmo ki ye thapkiyo se jaage hai
maidaano khul jaao, aa rahe hain hum jo
khalbali to honi hai
har gali me dhoni hai, har gali me dhoni hai
har gali me dhoni hai, har gali me dhoni hai

ho ujaalo ki gar talaash hai, suraj ka shehar paas hai
ujaalo ki gar talaash hai, suraj ka shehar paas hai
aa chal ke hum juta le apne hisse ke ujaale
dube ek suraj to dusra uga le
kaafi hai apni khaatir yeh mutthi bhar irade
chalne ke balbute pe hum duniya hila de
awaazo mil jaao, aa rahe hain hum jo
khalbali to honi hai
har gali me dhoni hai, har gali me dhoni hai
har gali me dhoni hai, har gali me dhoni hai

To walk the path, what is that worth? To soar, that's what's profound.
To walk the path, what is that worth? To soar, that's what's profound.
To merely live, what is that gain? To fight the fray, that's what's unbound.

The squares awaken, roused by the tap of feet that tread,
O fields, unfold yourselves, for we are drawing near.
A tumult must arise,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar.

If light you seek, the sun's city is near,
If light you seek, the sun's city is near.
Come, let us gather up the light that is our own,
If one sun sets, another we'll have sown.
Sufficient for us are these fists of will,
By the strength of our steps, we shall the world fulfill.
Voices, unite with us, for we are drawing near.
A tumult must arise,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar,
In every lane, a roar.
