After a long time, I hear a madly motivational song, and once again from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Every time you listen to the song, it gives you a high, and both SEL's music and Prasoon Joshi's lyrics are equally creditable for this wonder. Siddharth Mahadevan sounds a lot like Shankar in many places, and in his singing style too. He might not be as polished as his father, but his enthusiasm in the song sounds very real, and that was a necessity here.
Prasoon Joshi has written some really good lyrics (and I believe a bit tough, since I've already seen most lyric and translation writers making mistakes in this one), and they're a joy to listen to. Here are the lyrics with translation to the rock version. The Music for the album is on Sony Music.
are santee maar rahaa sansaar
Ab tu aane de lalkaar
teri to baahein patwaar
kadam hain tere hahakaar

The world is hitting (you) with a stick
Now let there be shouts (to challenge you, don't be afraid)
Your arms are strong like oars
Your feet are an outcry.
[The meaning of Santee seems to have created some confusions. When a thin branch is taken out of a tree and used as a stick to punish, it's called Santee.]
Teri nas-nass lohaa taar
tu hai aag
bas tu bhaag Milkha
Oh bas tu bhaag Milkha, bhaag Milkha,
bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha

every vein of yours is an iron wire
You are a fire.
You just run Milkha
Now just run, run Milkha, run.
O. sariyaa, O. kashtee.
O sariyaa O saria
O mod de aag ka dariyaa
O kashti O kashtee
O doob jaane mein hi hai hastee.

O iron bar, O boat.
O iron bar
bend the river of fire
O boat
there’s glory only in sinking.
[Here Sariyaa, Iron bar, is used to create an effect, it's not used anywhere in a sentence but in the next, you talk about bending something, so iron bar is in your mind and you think of bending that too.]
O jungle O jungle, aaj sheheron se hai tera dangal
O Milkha, bhaag Milkha, bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha

O Jungle, today you need to wrestle against cities.
O Milkha, run Milkha, just run, run.
[He's being called a Jungle because Milkha is more of a simple villager compared to people who used latest available technologies to compete in the Olympics, which he didn't have access to.]
tu jaag. ab tu jaag Milkha
tu hai aag. tu hai aag Milkha

Wake up, now wake up Milkha
You are a fire, you're a fire Milkha
Teraa to bistar hai maidaan
Odhnaa dharti teri shaan
tere sirhaane hai chattaan
Pehen le.
Pehen le Poora aasmaan
tu Pagdi baandh Milkha
tu aag Milkha.

The ground is your bed,
And wearing the earth is your pride
the mountains are your pillows.
Wear the whole sky.
tie your turban Milkha
You are a fire, Milkha.
[The turban is indirectly compared to the entire sky here, the turban as such is considered to be a symbol of Prestige, and hence the comparison.]
khol tu Rath ke Pahiye khol
banaa de chakra sudarshan bol
jang ke feete kas ke baandh
khulee hai aaj sher ki maand
goli daag Milkha..

Open the wheels of your chariot,
make the Sudarshan chakra and speak (out loud, give a cry)
tie the laces for the fight tightly
The lion's cave is open today,
Shoot Milkha!
[The wheels of chariot and Sudarshan are from the Mahabharata, Karna was killed when he removed the wheel of his chariot. Here, Milkha is asked to open the wheels of chariot, that is, without fear, and make Sudarshan Chakra out of it, which was actually the weapon of Lord Vishnu, who was helping the winning side in the Mahabharata as Krishna. For ref., Karna was on the losing side of the battle, though he's considered to be near-perfect fighter.]
daant se kaat le bijlee taar
chabaa le taambe ki jhankaar
Phoonk de khud ko jwaala jwaalaa
bin khud jale na hoye Ujaalaa
lapat hai aag Milkha…

cut the electricity wires with your teeth
Chew up the current in the copper [as in, the copper wires]
burn yourself in fire,
light isn't there without burning oneself
This flame is the fire Milkha.
O bas tu bhaag Milkha.

Lyrics	Translation
Arre shanti maar raha sansaar	The entire world is sitting peacefully
Ab tu aane de lalkaar	Now you create an uproar
Teri toh baahein patwaar	Your arms are like a paddle
Kadam hai tere hahakaar	Your feet are like an outcry
Teri nas nas loha taar	Every vein of yours is like iron
Tu hai aag Milkha	Milkha, you're like fire
O bas tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Arre chhod de beete kal ki bori	Forget about yesterday
Kaat de rassi sutli dori	Break all the bonds
Tujhse poochegi yeh matti	The soil of this earth is asking you for it
Karke saans saans ko bhatti	Make every breath of yours hot as an oven
Ab tu jaag Milkha	Milkha, wake up
Bas tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
O sariya, O kashti	O iron bar, O boat
O sariya, O sariya, O modh de aag ka dariya	O iron bar, O iron bar, turn the direction of the ocean of fire
O kashti, O kashti, O doob jaane mein hi hai hasti	O boat, O boat, there's glory only in drowning
O jungle, O jungle	O jungle, O jungle
Aaj shehron se hai tera dangal	Today your fight is against the city
Ab tu bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Dhuan dhuan dhamkaye dhool	The sand is leaving a trail of smoke behind it
Raha na rode bode shool	The lanes are full of sharp thorns
Taan le armaano ke chaaku	Sharpen the knives of your desires
Mushkil ho gayi saari daaku	The difficulties have turned into bandits
Tu banja naag naag naag naag naag Milkha	Milkha, become a snake
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Tera toh bistar hai maidaan	Your bed is a ground
Todna dharti teri shaan	Wearing the earth is your pride
Tere sirhane hai chattan	The mountains are your pillow
Pehen le poora aasmaan	Wear the entire sky
Tu pagdi baandh Milkha	Milkha, tie the turban
Ab tu bhaag Milkha, bhaag Milkha, bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ho bhanwar bhanwar hai	The storms are dense
Chakkar chakkar chakkar	Everything is spinning
Godi mein uthaya maa ne	Your mother carried you in her lap
Chakkar chakkar chakkar	Everything is spinning
O godi mein uthaya bapu ne	Your father carried you in his lap
Chakkar chakkar chakkar	Everything is spinning
Bhanwar bhanwar hai aaj khel tu	It's like a storm, play with it today
Bhanwar ko khel bana de	Turn the storm into a game
Aandhiyan rail bana le	Make the winds into the railway
Patkhani de uljhan ko	Lift and throw all your troubles
Cheekh bana de sargam ko	Turn the melody into an outcry
O chakkar, O chakkar, O chakkar chakkar chakkar	Everything is spinning
Utaar ke phenk de sab janjaal	Throw all your worries away
Beete kal ka har kankaal	And all the bad memories of the past
Tere talve hai pairi naal	Everything depends on your legs now
Tujhe toh karna hai har haal	You've got to do it, no matter what
Ab tu jaag Milkha, jaag Milkha, jaag Milkha	Milkha, wake up
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Khol tu rakh ke pahiye khol	Spin your wheels
Bana ke chakkar sudarshan bol	Become a spinning wheel of God
Jam ke feete kas ke baandh	Tie the laces of your shoes tightly
Khuli hai aaj sher ki maang	Today the lions are hunting for you
Tu goli daag Milkha, daag Milkha, daag Milkha	Milkha, fire the bullet
Ab tu bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Daant se kaat le bijli taar	Cut the electric wires with your teeth
Chaba le tambe ki chhankaar	Chew the vessel of bronze
Phoonk de khud ko jwala jwala	Throw yourself into a volcano
Bin khud jale na hoye ujala	There's no light without burning yourself
Lipat hai aag Milkha, aag Milkha, aag Milkha	Milkha, there's fire around you
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu jaag Milkha	Milkha, wake up
Tu banja naag Milkha	Milkha, become a snake
Tu pagdi baandh Milkha	Milkha, tie the turban
Tu goli daag Milkha	Milkha, fire the bullet
Oh tu hai aag Milkha	Milkha, you're like fire
Oh tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
Ab tu bhaag Milkha	Milkha, just run
