nari nahi hai sapna
nari nahi kahani
nari ki god me hi
chalti hai jindagani
nari nahi hai sapna
nari nahi hai kahani
nari ki god me hi
chalti hai jindagani

nari ki jindagi to kanto me hi pali hai
nari ki jindagi to kanto me hi pali hai
aansu ke jal me fuli gam kha kar pali hai
aansu ke jal me fuli gam kha kar pali hai
fir bhi jahar wo pikar amrit hi batati hai
fir bhi jahar wo pikar amrit hi batati hai
wo phul ki pankhuriy lohe ko katati hai
lohe ko katati hai
nari nahi hai sapna
nari nahi kahani
nari ki god me hi
chalti hai jindagani

sab kuch wo jit kar bhi
sab kuch wo hatati hai
hai sneh ki wo devi
mamta ki aarti hai
ghar ghar ki wo hi lakshmi
sindur banke damke
mata pade to todi
talwar banke chamke
talwar banke chamke
nari nahi hai sapna
nari nahi kahani
nari nahi hai sapna
nari nahi kahani

She is not a dream,
Nor a tale spun in sleep.
In her embrace,
Life's journey does creep.

She is not a dream,
Nor a tale spun in sleep.
In her embrace,
Life's journey does creep.

Her life, a bloom 'mid thorns,
Her life, a bloom 'mid thorns,
Nurtured in tears, sorrow-born,
Nurtured in tears, sorrow-born.
Yet, drinking poison, she gives forth nectar,
Yet, drinking poison, she gives forth nectar,
A petal of flower, cleaving iron's core,
Cleaving iron's core.
She is not a dream,
Nor a tale spun in sleep.
In her embrace,
Life's journey does creep.

Victorious in all,
She still knows defeat,
A goddess of love,
A mother's warm heat.
Lakshmi of every home,
Shines as vermillion bright,
A mother's wrath,
A gleaming blade in the night,
A gleaming blade in the night.
She is not a dream,
Nor a tale spun in sleep.
She is not a dream,
Nor a tale spun in sleep.
