Meri Aawaaz Lyrics English Translation – Mohit Chauhan

Teri Iss Duniya Mein Hum Bhi
In this world of yours, we too…

Zara Sa Haq Toh Rakhtey Hain
…possess at least a small right to exist.

Ke Maana Bezubaan Hain Hum
Granted, we are voiceless (speechless),

Dhadakata Dil Toh Rakhtey Hain
But we still possess a beating heart.

Teri Iss Duniya Mein Hum Bhi
In this world of yours, we too…

Zara Sa Haq Toh Rakhtey Hain
…possess at least a small right to exist.

Ke Maana Bezubaan Hain Hum
Granted, we are voiceless,

Dhadakata Dil Toh Rakhtey Hain
But we still possess a beating heart.

Kyun Toota Aasmaan Hum Pe
Why did the sky collapse upon us?

Kyun Chhooti Woh Bhari Basti
Why was that thriving settlement snatched from us?

Talab Roti Ki Tumko Hai
You have a craving for bread (survival),

Kasak Roti Ki Humko Bhi
We too feel that same ache for bread.

Nigehbaan Hum Bhi Hain Terey
We, too, are your guardians/sentinels,

Teri Khidamat Mein Rehtey Hain
We live only to remain in your service.

Teri Iss Duniya Mein Hum Bhi
In this world of yours, we too…

Zara Sa Haq Toh Rakhtey Hain
…possess at least a small right to exist.

Bura Keh Le Bhala Keh Le
Call us bad or call us good,

Terey Hi Karam Pe Jeetey Hain
We survive only by your mercy/kindness.

Na Koi Ghar Na Chhat Koi
With no home and no roof of our own,

Terey Dar Pe Hi Rehtey Hain
We live only at your doorstep.

Nigehbaan Hum Bhi Hain Terey
We, too, are your guardians,

Teri Khidamat Mein Rehtey Hain
We live only to remain in your service.

Teri Iss Duniya Mein Hum Bhi
In this world of yours, we too…

Zara Sa Haq Toh Rakhtey Hain
…possess at least a small right to exist.

Woh Itna Jaan Na Paaye
They (humans) could not understand this much,

Hummey Pehchaan Na Paaye
They failed to truly recognize us.

Teri Chaahat Mein Rehtey Hain
We live within the bounds of our love for you,

Humsafar Terey Kehlaaye
And are known as your fellow-travelers (companions).

Nigehbaan Hum Bhi Hain Terey
We, too, are your guardians,

Teri Khidamat Mein Rehtey Hain
We live only to remain in your service.

Teri Iss Duniya Mein Hum Bhi
In this world of yours, we too…

Zara Sa Haq Toh Rakhtey Hain
…possess at least a small right to exist.

Ke Maana Bezubaan Hain Hum
Granted, we are voiceless,

Dhadakata Dil Toh Rakhtey Hain
But we still possess a beating heart.
