zinda akhbar hu mai julm ka shiakr hu mai
zinda akhbar hu mai julm ka shiakr hu mai
ek bebas satai hui abla ki pukar hu mai dhundta hu
dhundta hu ek bhai bahan ko agar dagar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

koi papi kuchal gaya hai ek rakhi ko
liye suni kalai ek bhai rota hai
sochne jaisi bat hai ke aaj dunia me
din dahade jo bebaso pe sitam hota hai in hawao me
in hawao me kisne ghol diya hai ye jahar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

aurat khilona ban gayi hai dunia me
koi bhi uski aabru se khel jata hai bhul jata hai aadmi
ke uska aurat se maa bahan beti ke jaisa
pawitar nata hai tute sapno se
tute sapno se ye riste kahi na jaye bikhar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

bhid me koi kho gaya dhundta koi
shor itna hai ke awaz dub jati hai
koi bhai jo wada apna yad karta hai
bahan ki doli aankho me ubhar aati hai mere malik
mere malik garib ki duao ko de asar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

I am a living paper, a victim of tyranny,
A living paper, a victim of tyranny,
The desperate cry of a helpless soul, I seek,
I seek a brother, a sister, along the path,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news.

A sinner has crushed a rakhi's thread,
A brother weeps, his wrist now bare,
A cause to ponder, in this world today,
When hearts weep at the plight of the weak, in these winds,
In these winds, who has poisoned the air?
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news.

Woman, a plaything in this world's game,
Her honor violated, by any hand,
Man forgets, in his blinded state,
That woman holds ties, like mother, sister, daughter,
A sacred bond, from broken dreams,
From broken dreams, may it never scatter and break,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news.

Lost in the crowd, someone searches,
Such noise, a voice is drowned,
A brother remembers his vow,
His sister's palanquin rises in his eyes, my Lord,
My Lord, grant the poor's prayers their due,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news,
Today's fresh news, today's fresh news.
