The lyrics of the song are as follows:
Padhna likhna seekho o mehnat karne walo Padhna likhna seekho o bhukh se marne walo
K kh g gh ko pahchano alif ko padhna seekho
A aa i ee ko hathiyar banakar ladna seekho
O sadak banane walo o bhawan uthane walo
Khud apni kismat ka faisla agar tumhe karna hai
O bojha dhone walo o rail chalane walo
Agar desh ki bagdor ko kabze me karna hai
To padhna likhna seekho o mehnat karne walo
Padhna likhna seekho o bhukh se marne walo
O bhookhe pyase bachcho tumhari maa kahegi
Tumhare baap ki aankhon me aansu lahegi
Jab tumhari behno ko zulm sahega
Jab tumhare bhaiyo ko jail me jana hoga
To padhna likhna seekho o mehnat karne walo
Padhna likhna seekho o bhukh se marne walo
O desh ke naujawanon tumhari zimmedari hai
Tumhare haath me desh ki taqdeer sajani hai
Tumko hi desh ki azadi ka jashn manana hai
Tumko hi desh ke gareebon ko khushaal banana hai
To padhna likhna seekho o mehnat karne walo
Padhna likhna seekho o bhukh se marne walo
The English translation of the song is as follows:
Learn to read and write, o you who work hard Learn to read and write, o you who die of hunger
Recognize the letters k kh g gh, learn to read alif
Make the letters a aa i ee your weapons and learn to fight
O you who build roads and buildings
If you want to decide your own fate
O you who wash clothes and run trains
If you want to take control of the country's reins
Then learn to read and write, o you who work hard
Learn to read and write, o you who die of hunger
O hungry thirsty children, your mother will say
Your father's eyes will shed tears
When your sisters will suffer oppression
When your brothers will have to go to jail
Then learn to read and write, o you who work hard
Learn to read and write, o you who die of hunger
O youth of the country, it is your responsibility
It is in your hands to shape the country's destiny
You have to celebrate the country's freedom
You have to make the country's poor prosperous
Then learn to read and write, o you who work hard
Learn to read and write, o you who die of hunger
