sarafaroshi ki tamannaa ab hamaare dil me hai
dekhanaa hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me hai
sarafaroshi ki tamannaa ab hamaare dil me hai
dekhanaa hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me hai
dekh sakataa hai to tu bhi dekh le ai aasamaan
hausalaa ye dekh ke qaatil badi mushkil me hai

apane hi lahu se ham likhege apani daastaan
zaalimo se chhin lege ye zami ye aasmaan
saraphire javaan ham to maut se bhi naa dare
aanch aaye desh pe ye kyun gavaaraa ham kare
mulq pe qurbaan ho ye aarazu dil-dil me hai
sarfaroshi ki tamannaa ab hamaare dil me hai
dekhana hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me hai
sarfaroshi ki tamannaa ab hamaare dil me hai
dekhana hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me hai

The yearning for sacrifice now blooms within,
To test the killer's arm, the strength therein.
The yearning for sacrifice now blooms within,
To test the killer's arm, the strength therein.
Behold, O heavens, if your eyes can see,
The killer falters, struck by our decree.

With our own blood, we'll write our history,
From tyrants' grasp, we'll seize land, sky.
Reckless youth, we know no fear of death,
How can we bear our nation's hurt, its breath?
To die for country, this desire's a fire,
The yearning for sacrifice, our heart's pyre.
To test the killer's arm, the strength therein,
The yearning for sacrifice now blooms within,
To test the killer's arm, the strength therein.
