When the dhol's heart begins to beat,
How golden are Punjabis on their dancing feet!
None like them within the world's embrace,
How golden are Punjabis on their dancing grace!
How golden are Punjabis, a sight to see!

When youth's wild fire begins to ignite,
Eyes meet, aflame with a burning light.
When youth's wild fire begins to ignite,
Eyes meet, aflame with a burning light.
Young hearts stolen by a playful art,
How golden are Punjabis, dancing from the heart!

In Giddha's circle, Punjabi women gleam,
Teaching even peacocks their rhythmic dream.
With red threads woven, their hands take flight,
How golden are Punjabis, a radiant sight!
How golden are Punjabis, bathed in delight!
Ho, the cheer!

Among flowers, the rose, a golden grace,
And Punjab, the world's most golden place.
Where five rivers, golden, forever flow,
How golden are Punjabis, in their vibrant show!
How golden are Punjabis, in passionate glow!
Ho, the spirit!

Where lions share friendship, a crimson hue,
And Sardar's embrace, forever true.
Never forsaking, with joy or pain,
Never forsaking, our foes remain,
How golden are Punjabis, in their rhythmic dance!

When the dhol's heart begins to beat,
How golden are Punjabis on their dancing feet!
None like them within the world's embrace,
How golden are Punjabis on their dancing grace!
