waqt ke sath chalo waqt ki aawaz suno
waqt jo saj bajata hai wahi rag suno
waqt kahta hai to ghunghat bhi jala kar rakh do
khokhli rasmo ki buniyad hila kar rakh do
devio geet ye panghat ke bhulane honge
ab naye rag machino ke sunane honge
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai
is desh ko swarg banana hai
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai

ab chulhe choke ke sang sang hum sikhe or sikhayenge
is desh ke gaw gaw me vidya ka rag sunayenge
ab tod ke rato ka jadu suraj se aankh milana hai
suraj se aankh milana hai is desh ko swarg banana hai
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai

santan ke lalcha me aakar kyu or badhaye aabadi
insan jyada or dharti kam to bik jayegi aazadi
takdir ki takat se apni bigdi takdir banana hai
bigdi takdir banana hai is desh ko swarg banana hai
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai

ab chhod ke jhule sawan ke tapti hui ret pe chalna hai
mehandi ki jagah in hatho ki dusman ke khun se rangna hai
jis maa ne janam diya hamko us maa ki laaj bachana hai
us maa ki laaj bachana hai is desh ko swarg banana hai
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai
is desh ko swarg banana hai
ab jagna or jagana hai ab jagna or jagana hai

Walk with Time, heed its echoing call,
Listen to the music Time does enthrall.
Time commands, burn away the veil,
Shatter the foundations of customs frail.
O maidens, forget the well's sweet song,
New anthems of the machine must prolong.
Awaken and awaken, the hour is nigh,
To make this nation a heaven on high.
Awaken and awaken, the call rings clear,

From hearth and home, we'll learn and teach,
In every village, knowledge we'll beseech.
Break the spell of darkness, meet the sun's gaze,
Meet the sun's gaze, in heaven's ways.
Awaken and awaken, the call resounds,

Why swell the numbers, for a child's desire,
Too many humans, and freedom will expire.
With destiny's power, our fates we'll mend,
Our broken fates, in heavens we'll extend.
Awaken and awaken, the call is near,

Leave the swings of monsoon's delight,
Walk on the burning sands, ignite.
Instead of henna, let hands be dyed,
With the blood of foes, side by side.
The mother who bore us, her honor defend,
Her honor defend, until the end.
Awaken and awaken, the final plea,
To make this nation a heaven to be.
Awaken and awaken, the soul takes flight.
