kehte thhe log jo
qaabil nahin hai tu
denge wahi salaamiyaan
dil thaam ke jahaan
dekhega ek din
teri bhi kaamyaabiyaan

kar ke dikha kamaal vo
aake zameen pe deke jaaye aasmaan
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
sach hone ki khaatir jo
sapne keemat maangenge
jaag ke raatein keemat bhar dena
jab nazdeeq se dekhein to
khushiyon ke aansu aayein
tu nazron ko woh manzar dena

khud hi ek din mitaayegi
teri hazaar khaamiya
kar ke dikha kamaal vo
aake zameen pe deke jaaye aasmaan
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
(shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan)
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan!
(shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan)
shaabaashiyaan, shaabaashiyaan...
shaabaashiyaan... aa...
shaabaashiyaan... aa...
o ho...
shaabaashiyaan... o...

They whispered, "Unworthy," a chorus of doubt,
But the standing ovations, the hearts held in thrall,
Will tremble and bow when your triumphs burst out.
Let wonders bloom forth, where your feet now reside,
And the heavens will watch, a celestial hall.

Bravo, bravo, a chorus so true,
For the dreams that demand a price to be paid,
Through nights that you labor, with visions anew.
When the joy comes so close, and your eyes overflow,
Grant the world's gaze that vista, so bright and so fair, too.

One beauty will erase all the scars of the past,
A thousand imperfections, let them all fade.
Let wonders bloom forth, from the seed you have cast,
And the heavens will watch, their judgment displayed,
Bravo, bravo, your victory is amassed.
