This is why we have chosen the path of struggle ...
So that life be not drowned in tears
That evening be not wary
Nor night in fear
That the eyes of dawn not be in tears again
This is why .....

Surya par badalon ka na peher a rahe
Roshni roshnayi me dubi na ho
yu na iman footpath par ho khada
har samay atma sab ki ubi na ho
asman me tangi ho na khush haliya
khaid mehelon me sab ki kamayi na ho is liye ....

So that the clouds be not in surveliiance over the sun
That the lights of hope are not drowned in the glitter and glare
So that humanity be not left standing on the footpath
At every moment the spirit not bored
May happiness not remain hanging from the heavens
Nor the common wealth be imprisoned in palaces this is why .....

koyi apni khushi ke liye gair ki
rotiyan chin le ham nahin chahte
chit kar toda cara koyi umr ki
har khushi bin le ham nahin chahte
ho kisi ke liye makhmali bistara
aur kisi ke liye ek chatayi na ho
is liye ...

May none snatch from the plate of another
We don't want that kind of happiness
We don't want to see life's pleasures
Stolen, and alms thrown back in return.
May not one sleep on velvet cushions
While another has not even a mat

ab tamannaye fir na kare khud khushi
khwab par khauph ki cauksi na rahe
sram ke pavon me ho na padi bediya
sakti ki pit ab jyadti na sahe
dam na tode kahi bhuk se bacpana
rotiyon ke liye ab ladayi na ho isliye ...

May aspirations not commit suicide again
May not our dreams be under surveillance of resentment
May our labour not be chained
May not strength be dissipated by exploitation
May not childhood expire out of hunger
May not the fight be now over bread

Beh raha hai lahun bekasuron ka kyun?
jal rahi bastiyan fir garibon ka kyun?
dharm ke nam par ho rahe katl kyun?
jal raha desh nafrat ki aag me kyun?
fir kahin khun sasta na ho gair ka
dharm ke nam par ab ladaiyi na ho

Wherefore flows the blood of innocents?
Why are the neighborhoods of the poor again burning?
In the name of religion, why the slaughter?
Wherefore erupts the country in bigotry?
May the life of a stranger never again be taken easily.
May we not clash in the name of religion.
