Tedhi bench zyada dramaCrooked benches and so much drama,
Baithe shaant par hungamawe’re sitting quietly but causing a stir.
Charon or charon or charonIt’s all around, all around, all around.
Tedhi bench zyada dramaCrooked benches and so much drama,
Baithe shaant par hungamawe’re sitting quietly but causing a stir.
Charon or charon or charonIt’s all around, all around, all around.
Paas hua mera dost ya mainWhether my friend passes or I do,
Ek hi baat hai ek hi baat haiit’s all the same, it’s exactly the same.
School jaaun ya phir karun kharcheWhether I go to school or just spend money,
Ek hi baat hai ek hi baat haiit’s all the same, it’s exactly the same.
Paas hua mera dost ya mainWhether my friend passes or I do,
Ek hi baat hai ek hi baat haiit’s all the same, it’s exactly the same.
School jaaun ya phir karun kharcheWhether I go to school or just spend money,
Ek hi baat hai ek hi baat haiit’s all the same, it’s exactly the same.
Pehle din mili zimmedariI was handed responsibilities on the very first day.
Dekh dooje din nahi milega duster wapisLook, by the second day, you won’t even get the chalkboard duster back.
Yaani Allah hafiz bye byeThat means ‘God be with you,’ goodbye, and farewell.
Kiya home work yaani book hi nahi laayeI did my homework, but it means nothing if I didn’t bring the book.
School wali baat yaani dukh hi mila haiTalking about school just brings a sense of sadness.
Humein nahi school ko par woh bhi fees ke saathIt’s not about us, it’s the school, and they want their fees too.
Tabhi ghiste the pencil abhi ghiste cardBack then we wore down pencils, now we’re just swiping cards.
Jitna bhi tifin mein usse zyada baant deinNo matter how little is in the lunchbox, we share more than we have.
Dil seStraight from the heart,
School wale dost phir nahi milteyou’ll never find friends like the ones from school again.
Na duniya achhi hai bahar isseThe world outside this isn’t any better.
Na kam mile gyaan nahi kam kisseThere’s no lack of wisdom here, and certainly no shortage of stories.
Aaye na kam kisiseWe aren’t second to anyone.
Hum jahan baith jaaye wahan bane rishteWherever we choose to sit, new connections are formed.
Hum apni hi dhun mein par woh poocheWe’re lost in our own rhythm, yet they keep asking,
Ab rehte ho shaant sab sahi ghar pe“You’re so quiet lately, is everything okay at home?”
Sab sahiEverything’s fine.
Baith gaye shaant yaani competition nahiSitting quietly just means I’m not in the competition.
Baith gaye shaant yaani confusion nahiSitting quietly means there’s no more confusion.
Woh pooch rahe doubt bolun hai kala pe nahiThey ask if I have doubts, I say it’s about the art, not the problem.
Kuch cheezein unclear magar hai iraade nahiSome things are unclear, but my intentions certainly aren’t.
Seekha jo bhi kaksha mein bhool paate nahiWhatever we learned in that classroom, we can’t seem to forget.
Phir karte plan kal school jaate nahiThen we start planning not to show up to school tomorrow.
Parche bhare shayari se ratta nahi pasandI filled the exam papers with poetry because I hate rote learning.
Rule karna hai dilon pe follow rule wahan ke nahiI want to rule over hearts, not follow the rules they set there.
Agle period mein test yaani half day thaA test in the next period meant it was basically a half day.
Dark hoga future kya aage kaWill the future ahead of me be dark?
Yeh ratta hua number kya saath degaWill these memorized grades actually help me out?
Mera mustaqbil mere haath mein kyaIs my destiny really in my own hands?
Socho aage kyaThink about what’s next,
Aakhir hoga kyawhat’ll eventually happen?
Par itna kyun sochna hai shaant baith jaBut why think so much? Just sit down quietly.
Are shaant baith ja are shaant baith naHey, just sit quietly, won’t you just sit quietly?
Are shaant baithHey, sit quietly.
Tedhi bench zyada dramaCrooked benches and so much drama,
Baithe shaant par hungamawe’re sitting quietly but causing a stir.
Charon or charon or charonIt’s all around, all around, all around.
