Banda
Shankar Mahadevan • From “Sam Bahadur”
Banda Lyrics Translation – Sam Bahadur Soundtrack
Gulzar’s verses show a soldier stitching his nation onto his uniform. Mahadevan delivers lines describing a man who absorbs all life’s moments without stopping or turning back.
Na Rukta Hai Na Mudta HaiHe doesn’t stop and doesn’t turn back.
Bas Chalta Rehta HaiHe just keeps moving forward.
Na Sunta Hai Na Kehta HaiHe doesn’t listen and doesn’t speak.
Bas Karta Rehta HaiHe just keeps on doing his work.
Poochega Itihas KabhiHistory will one day ask,
Kya Banda Hai Yeh“What kind of man is this?”
Rab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s God’s own man.
Sab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s everyone’s man.
Rab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s God’s own man.
Sab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s everyone’s man.
Meetha Mila Koi Kadwa Mila LamhaWhether the moment was sweet or bitter,
Lamha Woh Sab Jee Gayahe lived through every single one.
Bekhauf Bedaag FaujiA fearless and spotless soldier,
Jaise Vardi Pe Watan See Gayait’s like he’s stitched the nation onto his uniform.
Ho Dhoondega Waqt IseyTime will search for him;
Gazab Ka Banda Haihe’s an extraordinary man.
Rab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s God’s own man.
Sab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s everyone’s man.
Rab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s God’s own man.
Sab Ka Banda Hai YehHe’s everyone’s man.
