ball jo nikale hantho se aur bat talak aa jaye
dil sabhi ka dhak dhak bole sanse bhi ruk jaye
chhote se ek pal mein bhaiya kya se kya ho jaye
khel ajuba khel mein bhaiya kya kya khel dikhaye
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
we love kriket we love the game
kriket hai hamara jivan pahla khel
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara

andr kriket bahar kriket gali gali mein kriket
dhup mein kriket chhav mein kriket barish mein bhi kriket
gav mein kriket shahar mein kriket maidano mein kriket
hoy na hoy jo maidan to bhaiya chhat pe khele kriket
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
we love kriket we love the game
kriket hai hamara jivan pahla khel
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara
kriket hai hamara jivan bole india sara

From hands it leaps, a leathered sphere,
To bat it flies, dispelling fear.
Hearts beat fast, a breathless pause,
In moments brief, life shifts its laws.
A game of wonder, fate's decree,
Cricket's dance for all to see.
Cricket breathes in every vein,
India's soul in sun and rain.
We love this game, in joy we claim,
Cricket's life, our burning flame.
Cricket's our life, it guides our way,
Cricket is our life, come what may.

Cricket's pulse, within, without,
In every lane, the joyful shout.
In sun's embrace, or shadowed ground,
Through pouring rain, its joy is found.
In village green, in city's gleam,
Or rooftop play, a vibrant dream.
Cricket's our life, a story told,
India's heart, forever bold.
We love this game, in joy we claim,
Cricket's life, our burning flame.
Cricket's our life, it guides our way,
Cricket is our life, come what may.
