chandar dare, suraj dare
dare jagat vayvahar
hain raja harishchandar ko, dare na satay vichar

kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
chahe kaanto me kaanto me
ho chahe kaanto me gujar jaye sari umar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar

sapne me bhi daan kare to pag pichhe na mode
deke raaj path sab apna nata raaho se jode
karke daan nata raaho se jode
kahan bitega ha bitega
re kaise bitega jiwan iski nahi khabar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar

us vachan ki khatir jeete
us vachan ki khatir jeete mukh se jo nikale
aise hi log duniya me ban jate misale
aise hi log ban jate misale
unhe sukh ka sukh ka
re nahi sukh ka moh, nahi dukh ki fikar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar

taqdeer ke khel hain sare
koi raja na rani
ye baware naina yunhi barsate hain pani
kahe ko nain barsate hain pani
din aate hain, aate hain
re aate hain bhesh naya rach rach kar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
chahe kaanto me,kaanto me gujar jaye sari umar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar

us vachan ki khatir jeete
us vachan ki khatir jeete mukh se jo nikale
aise hi log duniya me ban jate misale
aise hi log ban jate misale
unhe sukh ka sukh ka
re nahi sukh ka moh, nahi dukh ki fikar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar

har julam se takra jate aardasho ke bal pe
dete kathin se kathin pariksha to har ek pal pe
jate hain jeet sacchai ke bal pe
sach unse unse
re sach unse amar wo hain sach se amar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
chahe kaanto me kaanto me
ho chahe kaanto me gujar jaye sari umar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
kabhi chhode nahi sacche log sacchai ki dagar
o sacchai ki dagar
o sacchai ki dagar
o sacchai ki dagar

The moon fears, the sun fears,
The world’s ways all hold dread,
Yet King Harishchandra knew no fear,
For truth held fast in his head.

True souls forsake not truth’s path,
Though thorns may pierce and tear,
Though thorns may claim the life's full span,
True souls forsake not truth’s path.

In dreams they give, and turn not back,
Their kingdom’s ties undone,
They bind themselves to pathways clear,
Their gifts, their journey begun.
Where will it end, oh where?
How will their life's tale be spun?
True souls forsake not truth’s path.

For their word, they bravely live,
The words that from their mouths did leap,
Such beings in this world become,
The models for all to keep.
They seek no ease, no peace they crave,
No sorrow's hold to weep.
True souls forsake not truth’s path.

Fate’s game unfolds for all,
No king, no queen can claim their prize,
These foolish eyes just rain with tears,
And weep beneath the skies.
Days arrive, and come again,
In guises new, that will arise,
True souls forsake not truth’s path.
True souls forsake not truth’s path.
Though thorns may pierce and tear,
Though thorns may claim the life's full span,
True souls forsake not truth’s path.

For their word, they bravely live,
The words that from their mouths did leap,
Such beings in this world become,
The models for all to keep.
They seek no ease, no peace they crave,
No sorrow's hold to weep.
True souls forsake not truth’s path.

Against all wrong, they stand and fight,
By ideals' strength they rise above,
Through trials hard, they prove their right,
Truth's victory, they love.
Truth’s essence, they embrace,
Eternal in truth, their love,
True souls forsake not truth’s path.
Though thorns may pierce and tear,
Though thorns may claim the life's full span,
True souls forsake not truth’s path.
Oh, truth’s path.
