khoyi khoyi aankho me jo, meethe meethe sapne, kya yeh dil kare
pehle pehle din ki yeh nayi nayi subah, aao chill karein
gumm ko chabate jaye, sabko ko bate jaye, apni hasrate
yaar matt bhoole jagah, hai yeh badi cool
suno suno zara let me say
bhoolenge hum to nahi, sochenge hum bhi kabhi
school ke yeh din sabhi, aayenge na
seekhenge hum ye yahi, hai kya galat kya sahi
school ke ye din sabhi, aayenge na
aayenge na, aayenge na

theory me kamzor hai, practical champion
todh de hum deewaro ko, hai bones me calcium
padhne se jo ho na ho
teacher se pyaar ho, future ho raste pe
aankho me stars ho, darr bare ghar chodhe
jo bhi mile usse chede, masti me chale
keede bane khane lage
aise kyu kitabo ko, chasme lag gaye
science padhe, arts padhe, din padhe raat padhe
kuch bhi na padh paae, sar pe jo dandey hai
syllabus gandhe hai, phir bhi hum kahe
bhoolenge hum to nahi, sochenge hum bhi kabhi
school ke yeh din sabhi, aayenge na
seekhenge hum ye yahi, hai kya galat kya sahi
school ke ye din sabhi, aayenge na
aayenge na, aayenge na

ladkiya sabko churaya to, phir kya left hai
pass honge aaj to kya, kal phir se test hai
har jagah sab bolte hai, yeh bano woh bano
funda apna suno sabki, karo man ki
par apni hi karo, aao phir sar todhe
grass pe bhaage, daude nange payr hum
thakke lete roothe roothe, sar ke ho neche joote
baadal gine hum, rim-jhim paani aaye
chato ki dilani aaye, aise bheege yu
kabhi bhi yeh coffee-shoffe, chai-shai hai cheenki
bole god bless you
bhoolenge hum to nahi, sochenge hum bhi kabhi
school ke yeh din sabhi, aayenge na
seekhenge hum ye yahi, hai kya galat kya sahi
school ke ye din sabhi, aayenge na
aayenge na, aayenge na

In eyes adrift, a dream's sweet hold,
What whispers now the heart untold?
First light of dawn, a morning new,
Let joyful shouts now break through.

Chew upon sorrow, share with all,
The yearnings held, the rising call.
Friends forgotten, a place so cool,
Listen, listen, to this rule:
We won't forget, though thoughts may stray,
These school days, will they fade away?
We'll learn it here, what's right and true,
These school days, will they see us through?
Will they? Will they?

Weak in theory, champions in act,
Shatter the walls, with calcium packed.
From books, perhaps, no lesson learned,
But teacher's love, the future yearned.
Stars in our eyes, fear of home's door,
Tease all we meet, and then explore.
Become the worms, devour the page,
May spectacles embrace this stage.
Science we'll learn, then art's design,
Days we'll invest, and nights combine.
Failing to grasp, a ruler's dread,
The syllabus foul, these words we've said:
We won't forget, though thoughts may stray,
These school days, will they fade away?
We'll learn it here, what's right and true,
These school days, will they see us through?
Will they? Will they?

Girls we'll charm, what is left to do?
If we pass today, the test anew?
Everywhere they preach, be this, be that,
Listen to all, but follow your path.
Do as you please, let heads now clash,
On the green grass, we'll run and dash.
Barefoot we'll play, count the passing days,
Beneath our heads, the shoes we'll raise.
Rain begins to fall, in soft cascades,
Umbrellas we'll bring, in wet parades.
Coffee, or tea, or the faintest hint of tea
Bless you from the heart and be free.
We won't forget, though thoughts may stray,
These school days, will they fade away?
We'll learn it here, what's right and true,
These school days, will they see us through?
Will they? Will they?
