dar-o-diwaar pe hasrat ki najar karte hai
khush raho ahal-e-watan
hum to safar karte hai

aashiyana lut gaya aur ho gaye barbaad hum
kya kare fariyaad hum, kisse kare fariyaad hum
hum yun hi tadpa karenge, kya na raahat paayenge
kya suhaane khwaab mere khwaab hi ban jaayenge
kya suhaane khwaab mere khwaab hi ban jaayenge
kab talak sehte rahe duniya ke hum julam-o-sitam
sari duniya be-raham hai
sari duniya be-raham

dur chal is matlabi duniya se ae dil dur chal
dur chal is matlabi duniya se ae dil dur chal
chhod de in julam ke bando ko inse dur chal
kab talak sehte rahe in jaalimo ke hum sitam
sari duniya be-raham hai
sari duniya be-raham

aashiyana lut gaya aur ho gaye barbaad hum
kya kare fariyaad hum, kisse kare fariyaad hum

Upon thresholds and walls, longing gazes we cast,
Farewell, dear homeland, our journey is vast.

Our nests are plundered, our spirits undone,
To whom shall we cry, when the battle is lost?
Will we forever be adrift in this pain?
Will sweet dreams forever be dreams, and remain?
How long must we suffer, the world's cruel decree?
This heartless world offers no solace to me.
This heartless world, a desolate sea.

Flee from this selfish world, dear heart, find your flight,
Leave behind the oppressors, and vanish from sight.
How long must we bear the tyrant's harsh sting?
This heartless world offers no comfort to cling.
This heartless world, a pitiless thing.

Our nests are plundered, our spirits undone,
To whom shall we cry, when the battle is lost?
