ye roshni jalti rahe jan bhi jaye hame hoga na gum
o beraham tere sitam ham pe
honge kab tak dekhenge hum ye roshni jalti rahe
jan bhi jaye hame hoga na gum

wo dekh aasuo se jakham dho rahi hai jindagi
wo khak hoke biz naye bo rahi hai jindagi
siwa khuda ke or ki na hogi hamse bandagi
siwa khuda ke or ki na hogi hamse bandagi
ye kahke bar bar ro rahi hai jindagi

ye gam ke or char din sitam ke or char din
ye din bhi jayenge guzar guzar gaye hazar din
na jane kab bhadak uthe ye aag intkam ki
na jane kab bhadak uthe ye aag intkam ki
wo aa rahe hai aandhiyo ki peeth par sawaar bin
o beraham tere sitam ham pe honge kab tak dekhenge hum
ye roshni jalti rahe jan bhi jaye hame hoga na gum

Let the light forever burn, though life departs,
No sorrow shall we know within our hearts.
Oh, cruel one, your torments, a ceaseless sting,
How long must we endure, this suffering?
Let the light forever burn.

See, with tears, life washes wounds away,
Becoming dust, planting seeds for a new day.
No servitude but God's, we shall obey,
No servitude but God's, we shall obey,
Life cries, repeating this, come what may.

These four days of grief, four days of pain,
These days too will pass, like a thousand's train.
Who knows when vengeance's fire will ignite,
Who knows when vengeance's fire will ignite,
They come, riding on the backs of winds, in sight.
Oh, cruel one, your torments, a ceaseless sting,
How long must we endure, this suffering?
Let the light forever burn, though life departs,
No sorrow shall we know within our hearts.
