are haan hum jo taali baja ke nachte gaate firte
sabhi ke waste maalik se duaye karte
are haan rukha sukha jo mile kha ke din bitate hain
zamane bhar ke gande naaz hum uthate hain
haan hum bhi insaan hain iss mulk ki riyaya hain
humne bhi huke insaan hi tumsa hi paya hain

tum loge kamison na jee tum daga na doge na jee

aur janane ki dekhi sarkar ab bich walo ki bhi dekh lo
ab bich walo ki bhi dekh lo.

We, who clap and dance and sing,
For all, we pray, to the Master we cling.
We eat what is dry, and through the day we tread,
The world's vile scorn upon our backs are spread.
Yes, we are human, subjects of this land,
Like you, by right, our humanity we've planned.

You've seen the rule of men, a government of might,
And women's reign, in shadows and in light.
Now look upon the in-between, the ones unseen,
You've seen the rule of men, their power keen,
And women's reign, a different scene.
You placed your trust in man, your faith so bold,
In woman too, a story to be told.
Now, to those in-between, your gaze bestow,
You've seen the rule of men, their seeds they sow,
And women's reign, as seasons come and go,
Now look upon the in-between, let their story flow.

Some feast on lions, a king's dark decree,
Some eat of the law, wild and free,
Some eat urea, a bitter, barren treat,
Some eat pickles, the sour and the sweet.
Lions, the law, and then urea's sting,
And what is this daily horror they bring?
What is this daily horror, this endless plight?
We'll end it all, if you give us your vote's light.
The shadows whisper, "Shatter the old, the worn,"
You've seen one rule, in power born,
And many more, in the fray forlorn.
Now witness the magic of those forlorn,
You've seen the rule of men, their seeds they've sown,
And women's reign, as seeds are grown,
Now look upon the in-between, let their story flown.

You'll be the leaders, the ones who rise,
You'll be the ministers, beneath your skies,
You'll rule the land, with an iron hand,
You'll take your bribes, throughout the land.
You'll do no wrong, you'll never betray,
The oath of Gandhi, of Nehru's sway,
The oath of Gandhi, of Nehru's name,
We swear by Subhash, by Bhagat Singh's flame,
By Bhagat Singh's sacrifice, their struggle, their pain,
We'll make their dreams our own, again,
For the nation's heart, we'll live and then die,
You've seen the clash in parliament's eye,
Debates and fights, beneath the sky.
Now see the hijras' council, their cry,
You've seen the rule of men, their seeds they sow,
And women's reign, as seeds are grown,
Now look upon the in-between, let their story flow.
