sukhe sukhe gaao hai
sukhi si ab chhao hai
sukhi maati sukha hai ab hal
sukhe sapne sukha hai ab kal

itni si ye kahani hai
banjar ye zindgani hai
bas aankho me ab paani hai
bas aankho me ab paani hai, paani hai

bharta jo thali hamari, kyu wo bhukha hai
kab huye khali ye dil, kyu des chuka hai
bharta jo thali hamari, kyu wo bhukha hai
kab huye khali ye dil, kyu des chuka hai
laal fittashahi hai, le chuki sab syahi hai
bas jaan hi ab jaani hai
bas aankho me ab paani hai, paani hai

uga uga anaaj, khud raate khali pet guzari hai
jaan gava ke chuk rahi chand rupyo ki udhari hai
kaha kho gaye hum, bhule apne hi bhai ko
aao insaniyat ki ugaaye fasal
ab hamari baari hai, ab hamari baari hai

The villages thirst, a parched decree,
Where shade once thrived, a memory.
The earth, it cracks, the plow stands still,
Dried dreams, a future time cannot fulfill.

This meager tale, a life grown barren,
A desert wind, a spirit to be sharin’.
The eyes hold tears, a weeping tide,
Only the water, nowhere to hide.

He who once fed us, now hungers too,
When did our hearts turn hollow, and our homeland knew
a loss so true?
He who once fed us, now hungers too,
When did our hearts turn hollow, and our homeland knew
a loss so true?
Red rule's the tyrant, ink is lost,
Only life remains, at such a cost.
The eyes hold tears, a weeping tide,
Only the water, nowhere to hide.

We sowed the grain, and starved the soul,
Lost lives, for debts to take their toll.
Where did we stray, forgetting kin?
Let's plant the seed of love again, begin…
Our turn has come, our turn to sow,
The seeds of grace, for all to know.
