Movie: Bose - The Forgotten Hero
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Music: A R Rahman
Ekla Chalo begins with a soft Bengali prelude by Nachiketa Chakraborty. It’s mesmerizing tone sets up the mood blending Sonu Nigam’s soothing vocals. Javedsaab elevates his lyricism to new heights through this call for unity. Sonu Nigam shines with his hypnotic rendition. These numbers will grow on you as you delve deeper into Javed Akhtar’s masterful poetry...
Jothi tor daak sune keu naa aashe
(if no one comes heeding your call)
tobe ekla chalo re
(walk alone)
ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo
ekla chalo re
(just walk alone)
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
(the forlorn traveller will tread his way)
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
(now whatever happens will be taken care of)
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
bojh ho mushkilon ka magar
(though the hardships weigh heavy on us)
na jhuka hain na jhuk sakega yeh sir
(this head hadn't bowed down, nor will it ever)
zinda phir bhi rahega mera zameer
(my soul and spirit will be alive)
jism ko maut bhi aa jaye agar
(though death shall overtake my body)
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
bazzi pe lagane ki khatir hum jaan hatheli par laye
(I have brought my life to gamble with it)
ab chahe jiye ab chahe mare jo hona hain woh ho jaye
(we may die, we may live, let it happen as it will)
manzilein kabhii kyaa milegii hamen
(will we attain our goals)
hogi kya sehal kabhi jo raah hain kadi
(will this difficult road be ever easy)
aaj har jawab humko mil jayega
(this day we'll have all the answers)
aa gayi hain aaj faisle ki ghadi
(this day its the time to decide)
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega
ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega
dekha jayega ...
