Desh hit ke naam par insan lakho ujdenge
Aisi ajadi pe bolo garva kya kar payenge?
In the name of national interest, lakhs of people will be displaced
In such freedom what pride can we take?
Lyrics: Medha Patkar
Desh hit ke naam par insan lakho ujdenge
Aisi ajadi pe bolo garva kya kar payenge?
In the name of national interest, lakhs of people will be displaced
In such freedom what pride can we take?
Adhim thi jo sanskriti pidiyon pali vo zindagi
Vanvanachal jiv jivan jor jabaran kuchlenge. aisi azadi...
Ancient culture, life that has sustained for ages,
Forests and its dwellers, will be forcibly uprooted;
Tell me, are we proud of such freedom?
Chupchaap sehti takti ye punchti hai prakriti
jag ja re bhogwadi tum hum nichode jayenge. Aisi azadi...
Silently bearing our weight, Says nature
"Awaken O hedonist, you and I will be crushed";
In such freedom what pride can we take?
Pardes ke sapne liye pardes ke hi panje me
desh ko girvi rakhe jab hum hi piste ja rahe. aisi azadi...
Dreaming of distant lands, in the thrall of the foreign
We have mortgaged the nation and are subjugated;
Tell me, can we respect such freedom?
Muththi bhare lutate chale lakho karodo hath phaile
aise batvare jaha par nyay hi kehelayenge. eisi azadi...
Fistfuls of loot, in crores hands are grabbing
Such distribution passes off as justice;
In such freedom what pride can we take?
vinash ko vikas mane vo phuse hai jaal me
sach baratne walo pe jab jail goli barasenge. tub bhi...
Those who mistake destruction for development are caught in a trap
While bullets are sprayed on people who speak the truth; Then tell me, in such freedom what pride can we take?
Mut choom lo is geet se ab janjire takara bhi do
azad bande ladte chale azadi ke hi raste
kyu ujadte hi rahe hum desh hit ke naam pe
Don't take comfort in this song,
Break the chains with this tune. Free people keep fighting
On the path to freedom. Why do we continue to be uprooted
Desh hit ke naam par....
In the name of national interest.
