O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
How is anyone lowly just by birth?
Hard work will change poverty
O human, this earth is yours
If it divides and torments, can that be God?
No one is a slave anymore
Education will change our state...
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh...
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
Oh, oh oh oh...
If they ask for caste before admitting you,
Shut that school down!
If they give you work based on caste,
Throw that job away!
The heart has no skin colour
Look, every single child is beautiful
Embrace every living soul,
And live together as family
No man or woman is above you
No woman or man is below you
There is no distance between you and me anymore
Chorus: If you stand up tall,
The sky is your only limit!
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh...
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
Oh, oh oh oh...
Fuel the flame with noble thoughts,
Come and light it up, dear girl!
Clearing away all the darkness,
Bring us a brand new dawn, dear girl!
The wind is the same for everyone
The earth holds everyone here equally
The water that flows in the river,
Does it look at caste or lineage, my dear?
You won't tear when pulled apart, you are not a sack!
You may be poor, but you are no coward!
Striking back in revenge makes no sense
Chorus: If you stand up tall,
The sky is your only limit!
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh...
O human, come, move forward
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
Oh, oh oh oh...
O human, wipe away your tears
O human, come, move forward
How is anyone lowly just by birth?
Hard work will change poverty... ah...
