janta ki aawaj hai ye sunle o bapu ghandi
ye kaise hahakar desh me ye kaisi aag ki aandhi
kaha vo vo teri ahinsa kaha vo vo teri ahinsa
kaha gaya vo pyar
gandhi tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
bapu tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
ek bharat ban me ban gaye jaliya wale bhag hazar
gandhi tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
bapu tere desh me ye kaise atyachar

tune jab aawaj lagai sara hindusatan utha
sara hindusatan utha angarejo ke dil bhi dahle
aisa ek toofan utha aisa ek toofan utha
khushi khushi tere kehne bharat wasi jail gaye
sine pe goli jhel gaye apne prano par khel gaye
apne prano par khel gaye naam pe tere lakho jawan
duniya ke sab sukh bhul gaye
dulhan ka ghunghat bin khole ho
fansi pe jhul gaye fansi pe jhul gaye
tu sawraj le aaya tu sawraj le aaya
ham to phir bhi rahe lachar
gandhi tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
bapu tere desh me ye kaise atyachar

aazadi ki jang lada tha kya isliye hindusatan
are nayay mange na nayay lene
ja na sake koi insan ja na sake koi insan
kitne hi nirdosh yaha misa ke andar band huye
andhe kuve me kitne hi
aajad samandar band huye aajad samandar band huye
kismat luta karte hai jo banke raaj ke pehredhar
apni satta ko rakhne ko jo
chine janta ke adhikar chine janta ke adhikar
gandhi tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
bapu tere desh me ye kaise atyachar

dekhi kalambandi dekhi kahi juban bandi
dekhi kahi juban bandi
dar ki hukumat har dil par thi
sara hindustan bandi sara hindustan bandi
nasbandi ke naam par vo julm huye
vo dukhiyo dino par
lagta tha latka ho jaise parjatantar sangino par
parjatantar sangino par
surkhman vo khet aasaman tuta jaha jamino par
chada diye buldojar bebas logo ke sino par
bebas logo ke sino par bebas logo ke sino par
apno ke hatho hi
apno ke hatho pe apno par goli ki bauchar
gandhi tere desh me ye kaise atyachar
bapu tere desh me ye kaise atyachar

sare desh par zulm sitam ke
ghor andhere jab chaye ghor andhere jab chaye
tab parkash ki kirne lekar jaiparkash aage aaye
jaiparkash aage aaye
ghandi tere naam ki ab hogi jai jai kar
ghandi tere naam ki ab hogi jai jai kar
are jo bhi hukumat jurm karegi uski hogi har
are jo bhi hukumat jurm karegi uski hogi har

Listen, Bapu Gandhi, to the people's plea,
A wail of chaos, a storm of fire, you see.
Where is your non-violence, your gentle art?
Where has love gone, tearing us apart?
In your land, Gandhi, such cruelty we find,
A thousand Jallianwals, etched upon the mind.
In your land, Bapu, such cruelty prevails.

When you called, India rose as one,
The British hearts trembled, the battle begun.
A tempest unleashed, a roaring tide,
To your call, they marched, with nothing to hide.
To prisons they went, with smiles on their face,
Brave hearts bore bullets, embraced death's embrace.
For your name, Gandhi, millions gave their all,
Forsaking all joys, heeding freedom's call.
Brides unmasked, to the gallows they went,
For freedom's dawn, their spirits were sent.
You brought us Swaraj, you set us free,
Yet we are helpless, for all to see.
In your land, Gandhi, such cruelty we find,
A thousand Jallianwals, etched upon the mind.
In your land, Bapu, such cruelty prevails.

Was this the India, for which the war was fought?
Where justice is sought, yet by none is brought.
Innocents entrapped, in the clutches of law,
Like wells of darkness, where freedom we saw.
Those who guard power, in the guise of the state,
Robbing the people, sealing their fate.
In your land, Gandhi, such cruelty we find,
A thousand Jallianwals, etched upon the mind.
In your land, Bapu, such cruelty prevails.

Witness the silence, the tongues are bound,
Fear's dominion on every ground.
India in chains, its spirit subdued,
Sterilization's cruelty, a sorrowful mood.
Like a sword held, over hearts and minds,
Red fields of sorrow, where justice declines.
Bulldozers rising, on chests they tread,
On the innocent people, the living are dead.
By their own, are fired upon, the bullets fly,
As the people of your land, begin to die.
In your land, Gandhi, such cruelty we find,
A thousand Jallianwals, etched upon the mind.
In your land, Bapu, such cruelty prevails.

When darkness fell, and oppression reigned,
Then Jayaprakash, brought light again.
Gandhi's name, will now be sung,
The oppressors will lose, their reign undone.
