Kehte hain padh likh kar aakhir kya karogi
Tum ko to kisi ka ghar basaana hai
Kehte hain tum ho amaanat doosron ki
Un se kaho apni bhi zid hai
Todein hum saare ye pinjre..

They say what'd you do getting educated,
you have to finally just be a housewife for someone.
They say you belong to someone else,
Tell them, we too are determined,
we'll break all these cages.

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole

Let's touch the sky, let's win this world.
Let's change the story, every heartbeat says..

Kehte hain, bete budhaape ka sahara hain
Betiyaan, bas ek bojh hain
Kehte hain, jo bura hua tera kusoor hai
Un sey kaho, apni bhi zidd hai
Todein hum saare ye pinjre

They say, sons are helpful for old age,
and daughters are just a burden..
They say, whatever bad happened, is you fault,
Tell them, we too are determined,
we'll break all these cages.

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole

Har zarra ye kahe, ab hum hai sang tere
Roke se na rukein.. hey, hey...
Har qatra cheekh ke, dohraaye sang mere
Ab roke na rukein.. hey, hey...
Chhu lein aasmaan..

Every particle says, we are with you now,
We won't stop..
Every drop (of blood, of body) shouts out, repeats with me,
Now we won't stop..
Let's touch the sky..

Koi agar hum se pooche, kaun hain hum
Chaahein hum jo bhi hain, apni pehchaan kahe
Jab tak hai humaare beech baraabari na ho
Tab tak kaise, khud ko hum insaan kahein..

If someone asks us who we are,
Our identity says, we are whatever we wish to be.
Unless there is equality amongst us,
Till then how can we call ourselves humans..

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole
