dil ki fariyaad se dar
dard ke paighaam se dar
subah ke baad bhi ik shaam hai.
us sham se dar
ham to har haal me
ye dard ye gham sah lenge
zulm kar hampe
magar zulm ke anjaam se dar.

arre sitamgar
ik aur thokar
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa
hamen kisi se gilaa nahin hai
hamen kisi se gilaa nahin hai
ke waqt khud faisla karegaa
ke waqt khud faisla karegaa

zindagi hamen raas aa na saki
zindagi hamen raas aa na saki
maut bhi taras hampe khaa na saki
ab kya hai dam tod chhuke hain
dil ke sab armaan
koyi aarzoo rang laa na saki
khoone dil pi chuke,
ham bahut ji chhuke.
arre sitamgar ek aur thokar
arre sitamgar ek aur thokar
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa

aaa aaa
har ghadi nayaa haadsaa ho to ho
har ghadi nayaa haadsaa ho to ho
tan re rooh bhi ab judaa ho to ho
unki muhabbat unki tamanaa hai apna imaan
chaahe ab khuda bhi khafa ho to ho
mar bhi jaayen to bhi kyaa
aayegi ye sadaa
arre sitamgar ek aur thokar
arre sitamgar ek aur thokar
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa
ke tootkar dil duaa karegaa
hamen kisi se gilaa nahin hain
hamen kisi se gilaa nahin hain
ke waqt khud faisla karegaa
ke waqt khud faisla karegaa.

From the heart's plea, the door,
From pain's message, the shore.
Even after dawn, an evening remains,
Delayed by that dusk.
In every state, we shall endure,
This ache, this sorrow.
Inflict your injustice,
But fear the injustice's end.

O oppressor,
Another blow,
Until the broken heart prays,
Until the broken heart prays.
We hold no grievance against anyone,
We hold no grievance against anyone,
For time itself shall judge,
For time itself shall judge.

Life could not please us,
Life could not please us,
Nor could death have mercy upon us.
Now, as we breathe our last,
All the heart's desires,
No aspiration could bear fruit.
We have drunk the blood of the heart,
We have lived much.
O oppressor, another blow,
O oppressor, another blow,
Until the broken heart prays,
Until the broken heart prays.

Come, come,
Let each hour bring a new calamity,
Let each hour bring a new calamity.
Let body and soul now depart.
Their love, their longing, is our faith,
Even if God is now displeased.
Even if we die, what does it matter?
This echo shall remain:
O oppressor, another blow,
O oppressor, another blow,
Until the broken heart prays,
Until the broken heart prays.
We hold no grievance against anyone,
We hold no grievance against anyone,
For time itself shall judge,
For time itself shall judge.
