ek kamre me laal band hai, ek kamre me peela
ik kamre me hara phasa hai, ik kamre me neela
ek kamre me ruka gulaabi, baingni ke intezar me
deeware shaayad badi ho rahi, rango ke vyavahar me
kaise khele hum holi, kaise rang de tujhe pyaar se
jab tak khud hum na jode, jo tut raha deewar se
to aao geet gaayo apne baaye haath ko daaye se milao
to aao hath badhaao dilo ke taale khol do
ye deeware giraao
o o o o o o

kisne ye niyam banaye, kisne hai humko sikhaya
kisne humko aadi kaal se, farak ka farak padhaya
kisne hai humko baanta, kisne faayada dikhaya
kisne humko khud chal kar, apni faansi par latkaya
apne hi haath kaat rahe, kisi aur ki manzoori pe
rang ye jo dhaange simat gaye, tutenge hum kamzori se
to aao geet gaayo apne baaye haath ko daaye se milao
to aao hath badhaao dilo ke taale khol do
ye deeware giraao
deeware giraao, deeware giraao, deeware giraao, deeware giraao
deeware giraao, deeware giraao, deeware giraao, deeware giraao

chalo mod de chor raaho ko nafrato ko de shikast
mitade jhoothi duriya rango ko kare swatantra
khul ke jeeye sab saath me, ghar apna khud sawaare
ahem ko apne chhod kar, saath baithe kuch waqt guzaare
kuch waqt guzaare
jo ye saare rang ab mil jayenge
khushi ke geet ban jayenge
kudrat ne tha jaisa banaaya, wahi shwet fir ban payenge
phir khelenge khul ke holi, rang denge tujhko pyaar me
jaane kyu ab tak ruke rahe, ek dujhe ke intzaar me
to aao geet gaayo apne baaye haath ko daaye se milayo
to aao hath badhaao dilo ke taale khol do
ye deeware giraao, deeware giraao
apne baaye haath ko, daaye se milayo
to aao hath badhaao apne dilo ko khol do
ye deeware giraao
deeware giraao, deeware giraao o ho

Red locked in a room, and yellow too,
Green trapped within, and blue subdued.
Pink lingers, waiting for the violet’s grace,
As walls seem to swell with colours' embrace.

How shall we play Holi, how can love impart,
Until we mend ourselves, what tears the walls apart?
So sing a song, let left and right unite,
Reach out your hands, and unlock hearts of light.
Tear down these walls.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Who spun these laws, who taught us from the start?
Who sowed the seeds of difference in the heart?
Who divided us, for whose gain did they decree?
Who led us, self-chained, to their own decree?
Our own hands are severed, at another’s command,
These threads of colour, we’ll break by weakness' hand.
So sing a song, let left and right unite,
Reach out your hands, and unlock hearts of light.
Tear down these walls.
Tear down these walls, tear down these walls, tear down these walls, tear down these walls.

Let’s turn away from paths of stolen guise,
Defeat the hate, and let the false divide to die.
Let all live free, together we’ll rebuild our home,
Leave behind our egos, together let us roam.
Together let us roam.
When all these colours blend,
Joyful songs will transcend,
As nature did intend,
We'll return to white again.
Then we'll play Holi, with love's vibrant art,
Why did we wait so long, in each other's heart?
So sing a song, let left and right unite,
Reach out your hands, and unlock hearts of light.
Tear down these walls, tear down these walls.
Let left and right unite,
Reach out your hands, and unlock hearts of light.
Tear down these walls.
Tear down these walls, tear down these walls, oh.
