sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
logo ne sooli pe chadhaaya mujhko
jahar ka jaam pilaaya
phir bhi unko chain naa aaya
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine

leke jaha bhi waqt gaya hai
julm mila hai julm saha hai
sach ka ye inaam mila hai
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine

sabse behatar kabhi na banana
jag ke rahamar kabhi na banana
peer payambar kabhi na banana
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine

chup rahakar hi waqt gujaaro
sach kahane pe jaan mat waaro
kuch to sikho mujhse yaaro
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine
sacchi baat kahi thi maine

A truth I spoke, a truth I bore,
A truth I spoke, and nothing more.
They raised me high, on crosses' wood,
And offered poison, misunderstood.
No solace found, their hearts astray,
A truth I spoke, and come what may,
A truth I spoke, without delay.

Through passing years, where shadows creep,
Oppression met, and sorrows deep,
This bitter fruit, the truth to keep.
A truth I spoke, my fate to see,
A truth I spoke, eternally.

Seek not the best, above the fray,
Be not a guide, to light the way.
No prophet rise, come what may.
A truth I spoke, though they decry,
A truth I spoke, beneath the sky.

Be silent now, let moments flow,
Don't risk your life, the truth to show.
Learn from my plight, the seeds you sow.
A truth I spoke, though pain may claim,
A truth I spoke, a whispered name.
A truth I spoke, a burning flame.
