nari ek aag hai nari ek shola hai
ye shola fir se bhadka hai jo dunia ko jala dega
utho bahno jago bahno utho bahno jago bahno
bagawat julm ke tufa se karna hai hamko
sada izzat se jine ke liye marna hai hamko
kali banke aao durga banke aao
kali banke aao durga banke aao
utho bahno jago bahno utho jago chalo bahno

hame to banke sita shan se jina hai bahno
rani jhasi ki tarah aan se jina hai bahno
hame to banke sita shan se jina hai bahno
rani jhasi ki tarah aan se jina hai bahno
mitake pap ki dunia kuchal ke rawno ko
hamesha satya or iman se jina hai bahno
kali banke aao durga banke aao
kali banke aao durga banke aao
utho bahno jago bahno utho jago chalo bahno

ham apna sar kabhi sansar me jhukne na denge
masale jindagi leke sada aage badhenge
pahanli chudiya mardo ne iska gum nahi hai
hum apni abru ki aap hi raksha karenge
kali banke aao durga banke aao utho bahno jago bahno
bagawat julm ke tufa se karna hai hamko
sada izzat se jine ke liye marna hai hamko

Woman, a fire, a burning ember bright,
A flame reignited, to scorch the world's dark night.
Arise, sisters, awaken, sisters, arise and wake!
Revolt against the tempest of oppression's wake.
To live with honor, we must embrace the fall,
As Kali, come forth! As Durga, heed the call!
Arise, sisters, awaken, sisters, arise and wake!

Like Sita, we’ll live with grace and pride,
Like Rani of Jhansi, with valor as our guide.
Like Sita, we’ll live with grace and pride,
Like Rani of Jhansi, with valor as our guide.
To crush the demons, to banish all sin,
With truth and faith, our victory to begin.
As Kali, come forth! As Durga, heed the call!
Arise, sisters, awaken, sisters, arise and wake!

Our heads we'll never bow to worldly shame,
With life's bright spices, we'll fan the eternal flame.
Let men don bangles, let their sorrow swell,
We'll guard our dignity, our stories we will tell.
As Kali, come forth! As Durga, heed the call! Arise, sisters, awaken!
Revolt against the tempest of oppression's wake.
To live with honor, we must embrace the fall.
