wo zalim jo ruthenge
to marne ki saja denge
chunege hum ko diwaro
ya jinda jala denge
tadap kar jaan de denge
tadap kar jaan de denge
diya dil ka bujha denge
hum apni aarjuo ka
gala khud hi daba denge
tadap kar jaan de denge

kare fariyad kyun hum jab
hume marna bhi aata hai
kare fariyad kyun hum jab
hume marna bhi aata hai
khade sab dekhna hum jindagi
hans ke luta denge
tadap kar jaan de denge

sikha denge jamane ko
kisi ke pyar me mitna
sikha denge jamane ko
kisi ke pyar me mitna
wafa is bewafa duniya me
kar ke dikha denge
tadap kar jaan de denge
tadap kar jaan de denge
diya dil ka bujha denge
hum apni aarjuo ka
gala khud hi daba denge
tadap kar jaan de denge

When they, the cruel, should turn away,
And sentence us to death's harsh sway,
By walls they'll choose, or fire's embrace,
But we, in anguish, shall find our place.
In torment's grip, our souls take flight,
We'll douse the flame of inner light,
The yearning heart, its breath we'll bind,
And choke the dreams left far behind.
In torment's grip, our souls take flight.

Why plead we now, when death we know,
Why plead we now, when death we know,
As life and all stand witness there,
We'll laugh and scatter into air.
In torment's grip, our souls take flight.

We'll teach the world, a lesson deep,
To vanish in love's slumber steep,
We'll teach the world, a lesson deep,
True faith, within this faithless keep,
We'll show them how it ought to be,
In torment's grip, our souls take flight,
In torment's grip, our souls take flight,
We'll douse the flame of inner light,
The yearning heart, its breath we'll bind,
And choke the dreams left far behind.
In torment's grip, our souls take flight.
