hame na roko hame unke pass jane do
hame na roko hato unke pass jane do
hame na roko hame unke pass jane do

hame na roko hame unke pass jane do
bahare sargam ko paegam sunane do

ye lambi kaan ke sote rahe hai sadiyon tak
ye lambi kaan ke sote rahe hai sadiyon tak
zaman badal raha hai ab to inhe jagaane do
zaman badal raha hai ab to inhe jagaane do
ye motiyon ke kadar na taras sake sayad
na taras sake sayad na taras sake sayad
guzar se pehle huye apne dikhane do
guzar se pehle huye apne dikhane do

ye chand aise kare aur jaise na yaad aaye
ye chand aise kare aur jaise na yaad aaye
isi ko kahete hai insaf aatma wale
falak hilate rahege gareebo wale gareebo wale

Before passing, let them see their own reflection.

The moon does this, as if it forgets,
While they, in high palaces, slumber on their thrones.
This is called justice, the soul's truth.
The heavens will tremble for the poor, for the poor.
