thok di killi, thok di killi
ke door nahin hai chalega dilli
sabko gure aankh dikhaye tanashai kare darraye
o bhagad billi, o thok di killi
tu maar de danda, udha de gilli

itraye vitraye jab bhi hadd se aage sadme aaye
aag me kaala kajal, oye naak me nathni
kaan mein jhumka, paon pehene bichua
aur danye banye mare thumka
aase paase sabko gure dekhe aur dikhaye tever
mujre ka nazrana mange
heeray panne nakdi zevar
bichde bichde keh gayi humko
khoob udaye khilli dilli

jhoothi sachchi seheli
dumri kajri jo bhi kehli
humne ek tihagi
ye ghungroo jod ke chatt par tehli
jhoothi hai makkari nachaiya
na koi mai na koi maiya
kut kut ke kapat bara hai
behlata ta tha thaiya
bichde bichde keh gayi humko
khoob udaye khilli dilli
o thok di killi, o thok di killi
ke door nahi hai chalega dilli

raat ka maal raaton ne lutaa
chaand taaron ke guchche churaye
din nikalna tha, apna bhi nikla
kisme dum hai ke suraj bujhaye
kisme dum hai ke suraj bujhaye
aaja milke baithe haal sunawe dil ka
dilo ko khate gaye
gum ko pehnke chilka chilka
bichde bichde keh gayi humko
khoob udaye khilli dilli
sehte sehte ab to
gardan ghar tak tar jate hai
choti ho gayi kabare
bin mundi bhi marr jate hai
sadiyo se chalta aaya hai
ooch neech ka lambha kissa
ab ki diwar hisab chuka le
cheen ke le le apna hissa
apna khoon bhi laal hi hoga
khol ke dekh le khal ke jhilli

thok thok thok di killi
o thok di killi
ke door nahin hai chalega dilli
sabko ghure aankh dikhaye tanashai kare darraye
o bhagad billi o thok di killi
ke door nahi hai chalega dilli
sabko ghure aankh dikhaye sabko ghure aankh dikhaye
sabko ghure aankh dikhaye tanashai kare daraye

Nailed the nail, hammered it in deep,
Delhi's reign, it will not sleep.
Eyes that glare, a tyrant's sneer,
Frightening all, drawing near.
Oh, scaredy-cat, the nail is in,
Strike with a rod, let the game begin!

When arrogance overflows, and sorrows sting,
Black kohl in fire, a nose ring's swing.
Earrings in work, anklets on feet,
Dancing right and left, a rhythmic beat.
Glances around, a show of might,
Demanding a dance, a dazzling sight.
Diamonds, gems, a treasure's gleam,
"We are separated," a mocking dream.
Delhi laughs, a cruel delight,
As they tear us down with all their might.

Falsehood and truth, a tangled thread,
The Dumri, the Kajri, all that's said.
We have found a place, a haven true,
With bells on the roof, dancing anew.
Deceitful dancers, their hearts are cold,
No mother or kin, their story told.
Filled with deceit, a bitter cup,
They lure and deceive, then they cut us up.
"We are separated," a mocking dream,
Delhi laughs, a cruel delight, it would seem.
Nailed the nail, hammered it in deep,
Delhi's reign, it will not sleep.

Night devoured, the nights they stole,
Clusters of stars, they took their toll.
The dawn arose, our time to rise,
Who dares to dim the sun's bright eyes?
Who dares to dim the sun's bright eyes?
Come, let's gather, share our plight,
Hearts devoured, consumed by blight.
The peel of sorrow, a bitter taste,
"We are separated," our hope misplaced.
Delhi laughs, a cruel delight,
Through suffering, we must now fight.

The garden of home we must now seek,
Graves grow small, the headless weak.
For centuries, the story's told,
Of high and low, the weak, the bold.
Now the reckoning, the time is nigh,
Seize your share, beneath the sky.
Our blood is red, let the truth be known,
Tear away the skin, and freedom is sown.

Nailed the nail, hammered it in deep,
Oh, nailed the nail, the secrets to keep!
Delhi's reign, it will not sleep.
Eyes that glare, a tyrant's sneer,
Frightening all, drawing near.
Oh, scaredy-cat, the nail is in,
Delhi's reign, it will not begin.
Eyes that glare, all that they see,
Eyes that glare, for you and for me,
Eyes that glare, a tyrant's decree.
