zulm karane se buraa hai zulm sahan karanaa
dar ke jine se achchhaa hai saamane ladake maranaa
naa zulm naa zaalim kaa adhikaar rahegaa
duniyaa me kuchh rahegaa to bas pyaar rahegaa

uthaa ke mil ke nid se tum sabako jagaa do
is haath se us haath ko tum saath milaa do
sachchaa_i se tum jhuth ki buniyaad hilaa do
aur vaqt ki aavaaz se aavaaz milaa do
janataa ke haath me hi ikhtiyaar rahegaa
duniyaa me kuchh rahegaa

naa aadami kaa aadami gulaam rahegaa
naa sinaa jori aur naa itakaam rahegaa
bure kaa naa aagaaz naa ajaam rahegaa
jo baaki rahaa to khudaa kaa naam rahegaa
khudaa kaa naam rahaa to sasaar rahegaa
duniyaa me kuchh rahegaa

To suffer wrong is worse than to inflict,
Than live in fear, to die defiant, quick.
No tyrant's reign, no cruelty shall stand,
Love's gentle echo shall pervade the land.

Awake, unite, from slumber's heavy hold,
Let hand touch hand, a story to be told.
With truth's bright force, let falsehood's structure fall,
And blend your voices, answering the call.
The people's power, forever it shall be,
Love's gentle echo…

No man shall serve another as a slave,
No violence to the spirit, none to crave.
No evil's birth, no ending in despair,
If aught remains, the Name of God is there.
If God's Name lives, then life will still endure,
Love's gentle echo…
