He was the first one to get the cassette in UK where it got
released on Apr 03, a well three days before the declared date. He
took pains to scan and post the flap so that I could get it at
[email protected]
and put it here.

chorus
baar baar haa.n, bolo
yaar haa.n
(again and again, do speak, O friend!)
apni jeet ho, un ki
haar haa.n
(may the victory be ours, may they get defeated)
koi hum se jeet na
paave
(may no one claim a vicotry over us)
chale chalo, chale
chalo
(move on, proceed)
mit jaave jo takraave,
chale chalo
(may whoever comes against us get lost)
bhale ghor a.ndhera
chhave
(even if their is pitch darkness shadowing)
chale chalo, chale chalo
koi raah mein na tham
jaave, chale chalo
(may no one need to take a halt on the
path)
toot gayi jo oo.ngali
utthi
(whichever finger has pointed accusingly towards us
got broken)
paa.ncho.n mili to ban
gayi mutthi
(because we like five fingers have come
together and have become a clenched fist)
ekaa badhata hi
jaave
(our unity is growing beyond leaps and bounds)
chale chalo, chale chalo
koi kitna bhi behkaave, chale chalo
(even
if anyone howmuchever tempts us)
koi na ab roke tujhe,
toke tujhe, tod de ba.ndhan saare
(may no one stop you, may
no one censor you, snap all the bondages)
mila hai kya ho ke
tujhe nirbal, tu hi bataa
(what at all have you got by
remaining powerless, you tell me)
kabhi na dukh
jhele.nge, khele.nge aise, ke dushman haare
(no sorrow
shall ever befall us, we shall play such games that our enemies will
get vanquished)
ki ab to le le.nge
himmat ka rasta
(i urge you to take up the route of
courage)
dharati hila de.nge,
sabko dikha de.nge
(we shall make the earth shake, we shall
make everyone see)
raaja hai kya, parja
hai kya, ho
(is their any worth of a king, all is the
strength of the ruled ones)
hum jag pe chhaye.nge,
ab ye bataaye.nge
(we shall cover the entire world, now we
shall make it clear to you)
hum logo.n ka darja
hai kya, ho
(that what is the status of we, the people)
ab dar nahi.n man mein
aave
(may do fear creep into our minds)
chale chalo, chale chalo
har bedi ab khul
jaave, chale chalo
(may every shackle get opened now)
chala hi chal, haaa.nf
nahi.n, kaa.np nahi.n, raah mein ab tu raahi
(keep on
proceeding, don't gasp, don't shiver, now on the path, o traveller)
thakan ka saa.np
nahi.n ab tujhe dasney paaye
(may the snake of tiredness
never be able to bite you now)
wo hi jo tera haaqim
hai, zaalim hai, kee hai jisne tabaahi
(the one who is your
master, is very cruel, and has caused all the destruction)
ghar us ka pachchhim
hai, yahaa.n na basne paaye
(he hails from the west, may he
not dwell here)
dharati hila de.nge, sabko dikha de.nge
hum
logo.n ka darja hai kya, ho
jo hona
hai ho jaave, chale chalo
(come what may, Proceed)
ab sar na koi
jhukaave, chale chalo
(May no head ever need to stoop too
low)
