dekh rahi hai meri aakhe jivan ki kaisi tasveer
kaisa bandhan kaisa krandan gunj rahi kaisi ye peer
jine walo kab todoge julm ki ye janjir

tod ke bandhan sare jivan jot jaga
tod ke bandhan sare jivan jot jaga tod ke bandhan sare
navyug karvat badal raha hai
navyug karvat badal raha hai
aakhe khol jara tod ke bandhan sare
jivan jot jaga tod ke bandhan sare

chalak rahi purav se lali ab jane wala hai andhera
chalak rahi purav se lali ab jane wala hai andhera
dur shiritij ke paar kahi se
dur shiritij ke paar kahi se tujhe pukare naya savera
andhkar ka chir ke sina andhkar ka chir ke sina
suraj nya ugaa
tod ke bandhan sare jivan jot jaga tod ke bandhan sare

in baho me shakti hai itni kadmo pe aakash jhuka de
in baho me shakti hai itni kadmo pe aakash jhuka de
karm yog ke yog se yogi karm yog ke yog se yogi
tu dharti ko swarg bana
apne ko pahchan re murkh apne ko pahchan re murkh
ab to hosh me aa tod ke bandhan sare jivan jot jaga
tod ke bandhan sare navyug karvat badal raha hai
navyug karvat badal raha hai
aakhe khol jara tod ke bandhan sare
jivan jot jaga tod ke bandhan sare
jot jaga jot jaga jot jaga jot jaga

My eyes behold life's canvas, a sight so deep,
A tapestry of sorrow, where shadows weep.
What chains of torment, what cries the heart does keep?
When will you break free, from the chains that bind and creep?

Shatter the fetters, light the flame anew,
Shatter the fetters, a dawn of life for you,
A new age is stirring, its promise true.
Awake, and break free, let the vision imbue,
Shatter the fetters, light the flame for you.

From the East, a crimson flush, as darkness starts to fade,
From the East, a crimson flush, the shadows start to fade,
Beyond the horizon's edge, a call, a serenade,
Beyond the horizon's edge, a new dawn is made.
Piercing the night's embrace, piercing the night's cascade,
A new sun arises, its brilliance displayed.
Shatter the fetters, light the flame anew,
Shatter the fetters, a dawn of life for you.

Within these arms, a strength, to bow the heavens low,
Within these arms, a strength, to watch the heavens grow,
Through action's yoga, the path you'll know,
Through action's yoga, the seeds you'll sow,
Transform the earth, into a paradise to bestow.
Know thyself, oh fool, let wisdom flow,
Awake, and break free, let the vision imbue,
Shatter the fetters, light the flame for you,
A new age is stirring, its promise true.
Awake, and break free, let the vision imbue,
Shatter the fetters, light the flame for you.
Light the flame, light the flame, light the flame, light anew.
