Chola Chola
Swagat Rathod | Vishal Mishra • From “Ps-1”
What is the meaning of Chola Chola Lyrics from Ps-1?
Mehboob’s lyrics outline warrior ethics: ‘He who bowed his head was forgiven’ contrasts with ‘he who drew a dagger was eliminated.’ Vishal Mishra delivers lines about unhealed heart wounds beneath armor, showing combatants balancing duty with personal longing. Swagat Rathod amplifies the refrain saluting martyred soldiers.
Thir Thir Thir ThirkeWith a shudder, with a shiver,
Gagan Chhuye Sar Sar Sar Sar SeWhooshing high to touch the sky,
Parcham Ude Far Far Far Far SeThe banners are flying, fluttering free,
Aaye Hai Veer Har Ghar Ghar Ghar SeFor heroes have come from every single home.
Shaheedon Ka Jashn Hai Jashn HaiIt’s a celebration for the martyrs, a true celebration.
Naman Hai Naman HaiWe salute them, we salute them.
Kabhi Uthe Kabhi Gire Jung Mein Hoke GumSometimes we’d rise, sometimes we’d fall, lost within the war,
Rang Mein Jeet Ke Range Hum TumNow you and I are painted in victory’s hue.
Tere Aage Har Koyi JhukaEveryone has bowed before you,
Koyi Jhuka Chola CholaThey’ve all bowed to the ‘Chola’ name.
Tere Kadmon Mein Rakhun ZaraLet me place at your feet,
Rakhun Zara Duniya DuniyaThe entire world itself.
Himmat GairatCourage and honor,
Dono Aankhein Hain Sheron KiThey’re the two eyes of a lion.
Aaja YodhaCome on, you warrior,
Rahe Na Nishani Dushmano KiAnd leave no trace of the enemy behind.
Thir Thir Thir ThirkeWith a shudder, with a shiver,
Gagan Chuve Sar Sar Sar Sar SeWhooshing high to touch the sky,
Parcham Udde Far Far Far Far SeThe banners are flying, fluttering free,
Aaye Hai Veer Har Ghar Ghar Ghar SeFor heroes have come from every single home.
Shaheedon Ka Jashn Hai Jashn HaiIt’s a celebration for the martyrs, a true celebration.
Naman Hai Naman HaiWe salute them, we salute them.
Kabhi Uthe Kabhi Gire Jung Mein Hoke GumSometimes we’d rise, sometimes we’d fall, lost within the war,
Rakht Mein Jeet Ke Range Hum TumNow you and I are painted in victory’s blood.
Zara Zara Sa Khumar HaiThere’s a little bit of a buzz,
Sawaar Hai Jeet Ke Par PeRiding high on the wings of victory.
Kayi Kayi Khwahishein Bhi HainSo many desires are stirring,
Junoon Hai Apne Sar PeAnd this passion has gone to my head.
Ho Maati Ko Seechun Lahu SeOh, I’ll water this soil with my own blood,
Yeh Swarg Bachaun Sabu SeI’ll save this heaven from all who threaten it.
Par Nashe Mein Jhoom Ke DeewanaBut like a madman, swaying in a trance,
Are Tujhe Pukare Haseena ReHey, a beautiful woman is calling out to you.
Maati Ko Seechun Lahu SeI’ll water this soil with my own blood,
Yeh Swarg Bachaun Sabu SeI’ll save this heaven from all who threaten it.
Par Nashe Mein Jhoom Ke DeewanaBut like a madman, swaying in a trance,
Are Tujhe Pukare Haseena ReHey, a beautiful woman is calling out to you.
SundariOh, beautiful one,
Teri Nigahon Ke Vaar Chale HainThe strikes from your glances have landed.
Yahan Wahan Ghav LageThey’ve left their wounds here and there,
Bhare Hain Saare Ghav Tann Pe Jung KeThe wounds on my body from battle have all healed,
Mite Nahi Hai Jo Tune Diye Mann PeBut not the ones you left upon my heart.
Iska Bhi Hai NashaAnd that, too, has its own intoxication.
Prem Ras Piye Jaa Piye JaaKeep on drinking the nectar of love,
Magar Dagmagana Mat ReBut don’t you dare start to stumble.
Kabhi Chhuthe Na Talwarein YehNever let these swords leave your hand,
Nahi Sher Mat Rukna ReDon’t stop now, you lion, don’t you stop.
Khumar Hai Sawaar Hai Jeet Ke Par PeA thrilling buzz is riding on the wings of victory,
Kayi Kayi Khwahishein Bhi HainSo many desires are still stirring,
Junoon Hai Apne Sar PeAnd this passion has gone to my head.
Is Dharti Ka Dekha Tha SapnaWe dreamt of winning this land,
Dushman Ko Kiya Para Para ParaAnd we shattered the enemy to pieces.
Humne Maut Ko Bhi Nachaya Hai HoWe’ve even made Death itself dance to our tune, oh!
Jiska Sar Jhuka Maaf KiyaHe who bowed his head, we forgave,
Jo Khanjar Tana Saaf Use Kiya KiyaBut he who drew a dagger, we wiped him clean out.
Mudd Kar Jo Chala Jaane Diya Re HoThe one who turned his back and left, we just let him go, oh!
Cholo Ka Yeh Tareeka HaiThis is the way of the Cholas,
Iss Par Hi Ab Chalna HaiAnd this is the path we must now walk.
Dharti Se Leke To Gagan TakFrom the earth all the way to the heavens,
Iska Hi Bolbala HaiOur name alone will reign supreme.
Thir Thir Thir ThirkeWith a shudder, with a shiver,
Gagan Chuve Sar Sar Sar Sar SeWhooshing high to touch the sky,
Parcham Udde Far Far Far Far SeThe banners are flying, fluttering free,
Aaye Hai Veer Har Ghar Ghar Ghar SeFor heroes have come from every single home.
Shaheedon Ka Jashn Hai Jashn Hai HaiIt’s a celebration for the martyrs, it truly is,
Naman Hai Naman Hai HaiWe salute them, we truly salute them.
Kabhi Uthe Kabhi Gire Jung Mein Hoke GumSometimes we’d rise, sometimes we’d fall, lost within the war,
Rakht Mein Jeet Ke Range Hum TumNow you and I are painted in victory’s blood.
