panj nadiya de pani naal sinchi hoye
soni punjab di dharati
jis dharti te pyar dosti
tehi fasal si ugadi
jitho de bande
watan de pyar vich
suli te chadh jande
sada parayi aag vich
hasde hasde si jal jande
hayo raba us dharti te
dukha di ki kadi aayi
ae kedi aag vich jal riha
sada punjab duhayi, sada punjab duhayi
sada punjab duhayi

kasam tumhare pyar ki humne
aaj kasam ye khayi
ye aag hum bujhayenge
wo pyar phir jagayenge
luta ke apni jaan bhi
watan ko hum bachayenge
ye aag hum bujhayenge
wo pyar phir jagayenge
luta ke apni jaan bhi
watan ko hum bachayenge
ye aag hum bujhayenge
ye aag hum bujhayenge
ye aag hum bujhayenge

Watered by the five rivers' embrace,
Oh, Punjab, fertile earth, a blessed space.
Where love and friendship bloomed, a vibrant yield,
And souls for homeland, bravely, death revealed.

Upon the gallows, they'd ascend with grace,
In foreign flames, a smile upon each face.
Oh, God, what sorrow on that soil did fall?
What fire now consumes, embracing all?
Our Punjab cries, a desperate, mournful plea,
Our Punjab cries, for all the world to see,
Our Punjab cries, in tearful agony.

By the oath of your love, a vow we make,
This fire we shall quench, for goodness' sake.
That love shall rise, a phoenix from the ash,
With sacrifice of life, we'll seize the dash.
This fire we shall quench, with hearts ablaze,
That love shall rise, in these tormented days.
With sacrifice of life, a nation to embrace,
This fire we shall quench, in this sacred space.
This fire we shall quench, our solemn vow,
This fire we shall quench, here and now,
This fire we shall quench, here and now.
