O homeland, my homeland, O homeland
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland
Your courtyards are divided, shared hearths now cold,
Your Heers are stolen, your Ranjhas of old.
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland.

Who will now offer water, to nourish your grain?
Who will plant cool shadows within your earth again?
Who will offer water, to nourish your grain?
Who will plant cool shadows within your earth again?
Foes have stolen the coolness of your comforting shade,
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland.
Your courtyards are divided, shared hearths now cold,
Your Heers are stolen, your Ranjhas of old.
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland.

If we are gone, who will tend your desolation?
We shall not return, nor recall your location.
If we are gone, who will tend your desolation?
We shall not return, nor recall your location.
Like children with pebbles, we’ve broken our ties,
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland.
Your courtyards are divided, shared hearths now cold,
Your Heers are stolen, your Ranjhas of old.
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland.

O homeland
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland
O homeland, my homeland, O homeland
O homeland, my homeland.
