kadam tu aye manzil badhaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal
kadam tu aye manzil badhaye chala chal
kadam tu aye manzil badhaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal

teri rah tedhi teri dur manzil
musibat nayi har kadam pe mukabil
pahado ko dha dega himmat bhara dil
tu har khauf ispe mitaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal
kadam tu aye manzil badhaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal

chale na chale sath tere jamana
chale na chale sath tere jamana
sune na sune koi tera tarana
rahe kafila tera hardum rawana
hardam rawana
rahe kafila tera hardum rawana
tu duniya ko rashta dikhaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal
kadam tu aye manzil badhaye chala chal
koi sath aaye na aaye chala chal

Stride forth, oh soul, toward the distant grace,
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.
Stride forth, oh soul, toward the distant grace,
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.

Your path is steep, your journey far and wide,
New trials rise with every step you stride.
But with a heart of courage, mountains hide
Will fall, and fears you'll cast aside, confide.
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.
Stride forth, oh soul, toward the distant grace,
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.

The world may falter, its companions few,
The world may falter, its companions few,
Your song unheard, your purpose still anew.
Your caravan of spirit journeys through,
Forever onward, its purpose true.
You guide the world, its path you shall imbue.
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.
Stride forth, oh soul, toward the distant grace,
Though none may walk beside, embrace the pace.
