dua ya gafrur rahim ali mukaam
tu banata hai sabke bigde kaam
bhule bhatko ka rehnuma tu hai
besaharo ka aasra tu hai
arsh waale jara sada sun le
hum yatimo ki bhi dua sun le
bebas hai besahare hai
sach to ye hai ke gam ke maare hai

thokaro se bacha ganimo ki
aabru rakh le hum yatimo ki
kabhi ujade na ye chaman apna
rahe aabaad ye watan apna

O Forgiving, Merciful, Sublime,
You mend the broken works of time.
Guide of the lost, a steadfast light,
Shelter for those bereft of might.

Oh, from the Heavens, lend Thine ear,
To orphaned cries, let comfort appear.
We are helpless, without grace,
Crushed beneath sorrow's harsh embrace.

Protect us from the stones they cast,
Guard our honor, ever fast.
May our garden never fall to blight,
May our homeland know eternal light.
