hoi kiw, hoi kiw, hoi kiw
adhure raste tute pul, thake thake kadam
ghadi-ghadi hai zulm aur ghadi-ghadi sitam
mita do ye andhere aur mita do saare gham
chalo chalo ki dere manzilo pe daale ham

ha gurur karte hai jo unka sar jhuka do tum
nidar ho tum, nidar ho tum unhe bata do tum
zamin leke aasman se mila do tum
badalti kismate hai kaise ye dikha do tum

chale jo sang sang ham kadam patak patak
pahad kaanp jaayenge sunenge jo dhamak
badhenge is disha se leke us disha talak
hamare khun pasine aur aansu ki dhanak
chalo chalo ki dere manzilo pe daale ham
hoi kiw, hoi kiw, hoi kiw

Why now, why now, why now?

Broken bridges, paths half-traversed, weary tread,
Hour by hour, cruelty, then sorrow spread.
Erase the shadows, let the grief be dead,
Let us journey forth, to the peaks ahead.

Those who boast, let their proud heads descend,
Fearless you are, your courage must extend.
Let earth and sky in unity transcend,
Show them how destinies can now amend.

If we walk as one, with thunder in our stride,
Mountains will tremble, hearing our inside.
From every direction, our purpose will confide,
The echoes of our sweat, our tears, our pride.
Let us journey forth, to the peaks ahead,
Why now, why now, why now?
