jab tak ye dunia rahegi haye teri kahani kahegi
jab tak ye dunia rahegi haye teri kahani kahegi
kahenge sabhi thi kabhi thi ek rani
dharam ki nishani mita di pati ke liye jindgani
charno pe tere jhukegi dunia teri kahani kahegi
jab tak ye dunia rahegi haye teri kahani kahegi

bhula kar chali chand sa lal pyara
naino ka tara chali tod maya ka janjal sara
kanchan si kaya jalegi ye dunia teri kahani kahegi
jab tak ye dunia rahegi haye teri kahani kahegi
wo bharat ki nari ari o suhagan piya ki pujarin
hua dhanya hai tere balidan ka din
mar mar ke bhi tu jiyegi ye dunia teri kahani kahegi
jab tak ye dunia rahegi haye teri kahani kahegi
ye dunia teri kahani kahegi

As long as this world breathes, your tale it shall tell,
As long as this world breathes, your tale it shall tell.
All will whisper, "Once, a queen did dwell,"
A mark of dharma, erased, her life a farewell,
For her love, her all, the world will kneel,
Your story echoes, as time does compel.
As long as this world breathes, your tale it shall tell.

Leaving behind, a moon-bright, beloved son,
Her eye's bright star, her earthly race, now run,
Breaking free from the web, the illusion spun,
Her golden form will burn, your story begun.
As long as this world breathes, your tale it shall tell.
Oh, India's woman, a wife, a queen,
Worshipper of love, where your heart has been,
Blessed is the day of your sacrifice seen,
In death, you live on, your story keen.
As long as this world breathes, your tale it shall tell.
Your story, this world shall forever compel.
