| Azaadi ko chali byahne deewano ki toliyan | The group of crazy ones is on a mission to attain independence |
| Azaadi ko chali byahne deewano ki toliyan | The group of crazy ones is on a mission to attain independence |
| Khoon se apne likh denge hum inquilaab ki boliyan | We'll write the words of rebellion with our blood |
| Hum vapas lautenge lekar azaadi ka tola | We'll return back after bringing independence |

| Yeh woh chola hai ke jispe rang chadhe na duja | This is that cloak on which no other colour can stay |
| Yeh woh chola hai ke jispe rang chadhe na duja | This is that cloak on which no other colour can stay |
| Humne toh bachpan se ki thi is chole ki puja | We've worshipped this cloak since childhood |
| Kal tak joh chingaari thi woh aaj bani hai shola | What was a spark till yesterday, today has turned into a fire |
| Mera rang de | Colour me |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Colour my cloak saffron |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Colour my cloak saffron |

| Sapne mein dekha tha jisko aaj wahi din aaya hai | The day that we had dreamt about has come today |
| Sapne mein dekha tha jisko aaj wahi din aaya hai | The day that we had dreamt about has come today |
| Suli ke us paar khadi hai maa ne humein bulaya hai | Our mother standing on the other side of death is calling us |
| Aaj maut ke palade mein jeevan ko humne taula | Today we've weighed our life on the scale of death |
| Mera rang de | Colour me |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Colour my cloak saffron |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Colour my cloak saffron |
| Mera rang de basanti chola | Colour my cloak saffron |
