suno suno ke bahut dukh bhara fasana hai
hamare rone se hansta jamana hai
kasur ye hai ki paida huye garib ke ghar
hamara dil to har ek teer ka nishana hai
tumhare saamne aansu bahaye jate hai
tumhare saamne aansu bahaye jate hai
najar se dil ki kahani sunaye jate hai
najar se dil ki kahani sunaye jate hai

tumhare aish ki buniyaad hai hamara gam
tumhare aish ki buniyaad hai hamara gam
tumhare sukh ke liye dukh uthaye jate hai
tumhare sukh ke liye dukh uthaye jate hai

rangate hai jinke mahlo ko ham apne khun se
rangate hai jinke mahlo ko ham apne khun se
unhi ke gamo ko lekar banaye jate hai
unhi ke gamo ko lekar banaye jate hai
duniya me ab humaari mohare laga hi jaana
hasta hua savera ab to hai aane waala
duniya me ab humaari mohare laga hi jaana
hasta hua savera ab to hai aane waala
hum apne soye dil ko jagaaye jaate hai
hum apne soye dil ko jagaaye jaate hai
jagaaye jaate hai, jagaaye jaate hai

Hearken, a tale of sorrow I impart,
A world that laughs at a weeping heart.
Born to the poor, a wretched plight,
My heart, a target for every arrow's flight.

Before your eyes, my tears now flow,
Before your eyes, my tears now flow,
My heart's true story, my eyes bestow,
My heart's true story, my eyes bestow.

Your joy is built upon my grief,
Your joy is built upon my grief,
For your sweet ease, my pains I weave,
For your sweet ease, my pains I weave.

Whose palaces we stain with crimson hue,
Whose palaces we stain with crimson hue,
Their sorrows form the walls we accrue,
Their sorrows form the walls we accrue.

The game is set, our pieces to deploy,
The game is set, our pieces to deploy,
A laughing dawn, its light to enjoy,
A laughing dawn, its light to enjoy,
We rouse the hearts that slumber deep,
We rouse the hearts that slumber deep,
Awake, awake, from endless sleep.
