The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Tu Chal
Go and explore your
limits
Why give in to
despondence
March on, even time
searches
For your very
existence
For your very
existence
These iron chains you
embrace
Do not mistake them for
garments
These iron chains you
embrace
Do not mistake them for
garments
Cast them aside, melt
them
Forge them into
armaments
Forge them into
armaments
Go and explore your
limits
Why give in to
despondence
March on, even time
searches
For your very
existence
For your very
existence
When your intentions
are pure
Then why fear you
manifest
When your intentions
are pure
Then why fear you
manifest
These sinners don’t
have the right
To put you to any test
To put you to any test
Go and explore your
limits
Why give in to
despondence
March on, even time
searches
For your very
existence
Now’s the time to be
cruel
So let your tormentors
scorch
Now’s the time to be
cruel
So let your tormentors
scorch
You are not a prayer
flame
But you are a flaming
torch
But you are a flaming
torch
Go and explore your
limits
Why give in to
despondence
March on, even time
searches
For your very
existence
For your very
existence
Let your scarf fly like a flag
It’s tremors the skies can’t withstand
Let your scarf fly like a flag
It’s tremors the skies can’t withstand
And should your scarf ever fall
An earthquake will ravage the land
An earthquake will ravage the land
Go and explore your
limits
Why give in to
despondence
March on, even time
searches
For your very
existence
For your very
existence
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Tu Chal from Pink
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hataash hai
Tu chal, tere wajood ki
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Jo tujh se lipti bediyaan
Samajh na inko vastra tu
Jo tujh se lipti bediyaan
Samajh na inko vastra tu
Ye bediyaan pighaal ke
Bana le inko shastra tu
Bana le inko shastra tu
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hataash hai
Tu chal, tere wajood ki
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Charitra jab pavitra hai
Toh kyun hai ye dasha teri
Charitra jab pavitra hai
Toh kyun hai ye dasha teri
Ye paapiyon ko haq nahi
Ki lein pareeksha teri
Ki lein pareeksha teri..
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hataash hai
Tu chal, tere wajood ki
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Jala ke bhasm kar use
Jo kroorta ka jaal hai
Jala ke bhasm kar use
Jo kroorta ka jaal hai
Tu aarti ki lau nahi
Tu krodh ki mashaal hai
Tu krodh ki mashaal hai
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hataash hai
Tu chal, tere wajood ki
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Chunar uda ke dhwaj bana
Gagan bhi kap kapaega
Chunar uda ke dhwaj bana
Gagan bhi kap kapaega
Agar teri chunar giri
Toh ek bhookamp aayega
Toh ek bhookamp aayega
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hataash hai
Tu chal, tere wajood ki
Samay ko bhi talaash hai
Samay ko bhi talaash hai....
