Hands that banish fear and protect
Feet that crush venomous snakes
Eyes that reveal supreme justice
A man gifted and wise
If anyone plots deceit, he brings their downfall
He commands with just a piercing look
A revolutionary in a khaki uniform
His very arrival is deliverance
Through burning sun and rain
Through fire and flood
Even in a raging storm
He stays awake and alert
With his sharp mind
And with his police baton
The tangled knot of mystery
He untangles with ease
He stands all alone
An intelligence wing and media by himself
His eyes see right through
The charades played by frauds
Finding every trace and clue
Such is his watchful heart
He is a gun wearing a police cap
Hands that banish fear and protect
Feet that crush venomous snakes
Eyes that reveal supreme justice
A man gifted and wise
If anyone plots deceit, he brings their downfall
He commands with just a piercing look
A revolutionary in a khaki uniform
His very arrival is deliverance
You are sharpness itself
You are integrity itself
Uprooting evil by its deepest roots
Is the strike of your cane
Even the vast ocean
Would split wide open for
Your commanding
Police baton
Healing every wound
His heart defends justice!
Seeing through every trick and mystery
He will surely triumph!
Finding every trace and clue
Such is his watchful heart
He is a gun wearing a police cap
Hands that banish fear and protect
Feet that crush venomous snakes
Eyes that reveal supreme justice
A man gifted and wise
If anyone plots deceit, he brings their downfall
He commands with just a piercing look
A revolutionary in a khaki uniform
His very arrival is deliverance

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song from 'Sathru' is a high-energy anthem glorifying a dutiful and ruthless police officer. The lyrics illustrate his unwavering commitment to upholding justice, eliminating fear among the public, and ruthlessly crushing criminals who are metaphorically described as venomous snakes. Through extreme weather and complex criminal webs, his vigilance, intelligence, and physical courage stand firm. The character is personified as a revolution in khaki—a alert, one-man intelligence machine who unmasks fake people and unties deep criminal mysteries. Describing the officer metaphorically as a 'gun wearing a cap', the song portrays him as an unstoppable force of righteousness.
