Ban Ke Dikha Ikkis Lyrics Translation Jasmine Sandlas | Ikkis
Amitabh Bhattacharya’s words contrast “Dil Hai Mitti” (heart is soil) with “Lohe Ki Jaan” (soul of iron), marking inner resilience. He states the world is a chess game where being “Unnis Bees” (average) offers no success. Sandlas’s vocals urge listeners to prove themselves “Ikkis” (twenty-one).
Tu Hai Toofaan, Tu Hai ToofaanYou are a storm, you are a storm.
Tu Hai Toofaan, Tu Hai ToofaanYou are a storm, you are a storm.
Dil Hai Mitti, Dil Hai MittiThe heart is soil, the heart is soil.
Dil Hai Mitti, Dil Hai MittiThe heart is soil, the heart is soil.
Lohe Ki Jaan, Lohe Ki JaanThe soul is of iron, the soul is of iron.
Tu Hai Toofaan, Tu Hai ToofaanYou are a storm, you are a storm.
Tu Hai Toofaan, Tu Hai ToofaanYou are a storm, you are a storm.
Dil Hai Mitti, Dil Hai MittiThe heart is soil, the heart is soil.
Dil Hai Mitti, Dil Hai MittiThe heart is soil, the heart is soil.
Lohe Ki Jaan, Lohe Ki JaanThe soul is of iron, the soul is of iron.
Duniya Woh ShatranjThe world is like that game of chess.
Jahan Nahin Chalte Unnees BeesWhere ‘nineteen-twenty’ just won’t work.
Duniya Woh ShatranjThe world is like that game of chess.
