pinjare ke panchi uda ja uda ja
pinjare ke panchi ud ja re
ud ja ab desh paraye
ab desh paraye
ye duniya matlab ki hai
yaha koi na apna koi na apna
ye duniya matlab ki hai
yaha koi na apna koi na apna
iski taklifo se aise
iski taklifo se aise
jaise ho koi sapna
kyo us pe farmaye panchi
kyo us pe farmaye
ud ja re ud ja ab desh paraye

yha ki prit ki rit na koi
jhuth yaha ke naate hai
yha ki prit ki rit na koi
jhuth yaha ke naate hai
apne ho kar apno se
duniya wale bair kamate hai
apne ho kar apno se
duniya wale bair kamate hai
kahe fula jaye panchi
kahe fula jaye
ud ja re ud ja ab desh parye
ab desh paraye

Soar, bird of the cage, fly away, fly,
Bird of the cage, take wing and fly,
Fly now to a foreign land,
To a foreign land.
This world is bound by selfish need,
No one belongs, no one belongs,
This world is bound by selfish need,
No one belongs, no one belongs.
From its sorrows, flee,
From its sorrows, flee,
As if from a dream.
Why linger there, O bird?
Why linger there?
Fly away, fly now to a foreign land.

Here, love's rhythm is unknown,
Here, bonds are woven of lies,
Here, love's rhythm is unknown,
Here, bonds are woven of lies.
Though kin, they bear ill will,
The world, it breeds such hate,
Though kin, they bear ill will,
The world, it breeds such hate.
Why burden your soul, O bird?
Why burden your soul?
Fly away, fly now to a foreign land,
To a foreign land.
