Sunhari Kirne Lyrics in English Letters (Romanized)
Ye Raushan, Sunhari Si, Jhilmilti Kirne
Ye Pehle Pehar Ki Si Jagmagati Kirne
Ye Chidiyon Ke Sang-Sang Chahakti Si Kiranein
Ye Phoolon Ke Rang-Rang Mahakti Si Kiranein
Dilon Mein Ummeedein Jagati Si Kiranein
Ye Le Aati Hain Raat Ke Jaate-Jaate
Savere, Sehar, Bhor, Subah, Prabhate
Ye Sab Lafz Lagte Hain Sune Sunaaye
Hum Raaton Ke Baashinde, Soye Sulaaye
Ye Hai Neend, Behoshi Hai Ya Nasha Hai
Ye Susti, Ye Masti, Khuda Jaane Kya Hai?
Toofaan Aaye Ya Ho Koi Aandhi
Ho Gautam Ya Nanak, Bhagat Singh Ya Gandhi
Bahut Koshish Ki, Nahin Khol Paaye
Aankhon Pe Jo Pattiyan Humne Baandhi
Hum Sab Hain Taarit Raaton Ke Aadi
Humein Raat Hi Mein Mili Thi Aazaadi
Humko To Bas Odhe Rakhni Hai Chaadar
Ho Resham Ya Malmal Ya Khaaki Ya Khaadi
Ye Andhiyaari Chaadar Ya Koi Kafan Hai
Wo Sooraj Na Jaane Kahaan Par Dafan Hai
Agar Kho Gaya Hai, Use Dhoondh La Do
Agar So Gaya Hai, To Usko Jaga Do
Jo Behosh Hai To Zara Hosh La Do
Agar Mar Chuka Hai To Milkar Jala Do
Jalega To Kuch Raushni Hogi Shaayad
Duniya Mein Kuch Khalbali Hogi Shaayad
Kahaani Ye Tumne Suni Hogi Shaayad
Kuch Subahein Yoon Bhi Bani Hogi Shaayad
(Ke Kuch Subahein Yoon Bhi Bani Hogi Shaayad)
Ke Kuch Subahein Yoon Bhi Bani Hogi Shaayad
(Ke Kuch Subahein Yoon Bhi Bani Hogi Shaayad)
Ye Roshan, Sunhari Si, Jhilmilti Kiranein
Ye Pehle Pehar Ki Si Jagmagati Kiranein
Ye Chidiyon Ke Sang-Sang Chahakti Si Kiranein
Ye Phoolon Ke Rang-Rang Mahakti Si Kiranein
Dilon Mein Ummeedein Jagati Si Kiranein
Ye Le Aati Hain Raat Ke Jaate-Jaate
Savere, Sehar, Bhor, Subah, Prabhate
Ye Sab Lafz Lagte Hain Sune Sunaaye
Hum Raaton Ke Baashinde, Soye Sulaaye
Sulaaye, Sulaaye.....!

Sunhari Kirne Song Description
This song is "Sunhari Si Jhilmilti Kirne", also known as "Sunhari Kirne". It is part of the movie "Gandhi Talks", starring Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav. The song has been composed, produced, and arranged by the legendary music composer A.R. Rahman, with vocals by playback singer Arijit Singh. The lyrics are written by Sameer Samant, and the song has been released under the Saregama Music label.
The lyrics beautifully describe the first rays of the morning sun—radiant, golden, and shimmering. These rays chirp with the birds and carry the fragrance in the colors of flowers. They awaken hope in hearts and bring the dawn, the daybreak, and the morning as soon as the night ends. The lyrics say that we have grown accustomed to the night, we have found our freedom in the night, and we just need to keep our sheet wrapped around us, be it made of silk, muslin, or khadi.
In the later part, the song presents deeper philosophical thoughts. It asks whether this dark sheet is a shroud and if the sun is buried somewhere. The lyrics give a call to action: if the sun is lost, then find it; if it's asleep, then wake it; if it's unconscious, then revive it; and if it is dead, then burn it together. For from burning, some light will be born. Perhaps some commotion will arise in the world. Perhaps some mornings are made this way. The song concludes again with the description of those optimistic golden rays, which symbolize hope and a new beginning.
