Zero tillage, our choice – Organic farming is everyone’s voice
Beans, lentils, ginger and turmeric we do produce,
To increase our livelihood is our campaign boost
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice
Kitchen gardens everywhere is our campaign,
Healthy life, healthy mind are our aim
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice
Let us save our forests together,
Everyone move ahead in the campaign as they are our treasure
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice
Terai, hills and mountains we have in our nation
By empowering the female farmer, lets empower their station
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice
Crop rotation and integrated farming are the techniques to pursue,
Shedding the conventional farming method, we should do
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice
If we want, we can grow gold in this land,
The only thing remaining is to move forward holding our hand
Zero tillage, our choice,
Organic farming is in everyone’s voice

Nepali version
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ, जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
सिमी, चना, अधुवा, बेसार, उत्पादन हो राम्रो
आयार्जन मा ब्रिधी गर्ने अभियान छ हाम्रो
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
घर घरमा करेशा बारी अभियान छ हाम्रो
स्वछ जीवन उच्च बिचार उदेश्य छ राम्रो
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
बन जंगल भुछ्य रोक्न सबैजना जुटौ
यो अभियान अघी बढाउ कोही पनि नछुटौ
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
हिमाल पहाड तरायिमा बसोबास छ हाम्रो
महिला क्रिशक अघी बडे झनै हुन्थ्यो राम्रो
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
लगाउ साथी चकृया बाली उत्पादन हो राम्रो
परानो बिधी त्याग्न लाउने उदेश्य छ हाम्रो
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
दाजु भाई दिदी बहिनी हात म हात मिलाएे
हाम्राइ देश म सुन फल्छ रे हामीले नै चाहे
सुन्य जोताइ हाम्रो रोजाइ
जैविक खेती सबैको सोचाइ
