hum to barbad hue, ab koi aabad rahe
hum to barbad hue, ab koi aabad rahe
aashiya tut gaya, khush mera saiyad rahe
aashiya tut gaya, khush mera saiyad rahe

jo jalata hai kisi ko, wo bhi jalta hai jarur
jo jalata hai kisi ko, wo bhi jalta hai jarur
aag parwane ki kahti hai, shama yaad rahe
aag parwane ki kahti hai, shama yaad rahe

hum sitam sahne ko aaye hai, sitam sah lenge
hum sitam sahne ko aaye hai, sitam sah lenge
unse kah do ke na baki koi, bedad rahe
unse kah do ke na baki koi, bedad rahe

hum to darte hai mukaddar, tere ahsano se
hum to darte hai mukaddar, tere ahsano se
lakh nashad hai is gham se to, aazad rahe
lakh nashad hai is gham se to, aazad rahe
hum to barbad hue

Our ruin's a song, may another find bloom,
Our ruin a tale, may another find room.
The nest is undone, may the hunter be glad,
The nest is undone, may the hunter be glad.

He who ignites another, shall surely be burned,
He who ignites another, their lesson is learned.
The moth's burning whispers, to the candle's embrace,
The moth's burning whispers, the candle's embrace.

We came here to suffer, and suffer we shall,
We came here to suffer, answering the call.
Tell them, let no more injustice remain,
Tell them, let no more injustice remain.

We tremble before fate, and its favors so deep,
We tremble before fate, secrets to keep.
Though a million sorrows this anguish has wrought,
Though a million sorrows, let freedom be sought.
Our ruin's a song.
