Jao Chatgaon ke janbaz gunahgar sahi Veer Punjab ke Bengal ke badkar sahi Tha Bhagat Singh khatawar khatawar sahi Lal Kapoor ke ghaddar the ghaddar sahi Mopla se to kabhi shikwa-e bedad suno San byalis ke kashton ki to faryad suno [Okay the warriors of Chittagong were sinners Okay the brave of Punjab and Bengal were wrongdoers Bhagat Singh was at fault, okay he was at fault The sons of Kapoor were treacherous, okay they were treacherous But at least sometime listen to the complaints of injustice from Mopla At least listen to the prayers of the 1942 martyrs]

Abhi khulen ge na parcham abhi pade ga na run Ke mushtail hai magar muttahid nahin hai watan Pukarta hai ufaq se lahoo shaheedon ka Ke ek hath se khulti nahin gale ki rasan Yeh intishar, yeh halchal, yeh morchon mein shagaf Mazaq udate hain azm-e jehad ke dushman Yeh yas kyon? Yeh tamanna-e khud kushi kaisi Nau ba fatha hai qalb-e awam ki dhadkan [Right now the flags are not going to fly, nor is there going to be war As the country is agitated but not united The blood of the martyrs calls from the sky That the knot cannot be undone with one hand This confusion, this movement, this gulf between different groupings The enemies of our determination to fight make fun Why this disappointment? Why this desire for suicide The heartbeat of the people is the harbinger of victory]

Ek Darya rat ki aghosh mein jalne laga Teergi yad ki kafoor hui jati hai Nakhuda jod ke sar baithne wale hain idhar Aur udhar sans ukhadne lagi toofanon ki Mauj kashti ke tale choor hui jati hai [One river was aflame in the lap of the night The intensity of remembrance evaporates This side, the so-called leaders are going to put their heads together And that side the whirlwinds are gasping for breath The wave is getting crushed under the boat]
