Mout Hai Ek Sakht Tar Jis Ka Ghlami Hai Naam
Makar-O-Fan-E-Khawajgi Kash Samajhta Ghulam !
Harder than death is what thou call’st slavery,
would that slaves understand master’s tricks;
Shara-E-Malookana Mein Jiddat-E-Ehkaam Dekh
Soor Ka Ghogha Hilal, Hashar Ki Lazzat Haram !
Strange are the ways of imperialists:
they allow the sounding of trumpet; but forbid resurrection.
Ae Kh Ghulami Se Hai Rooh Teri Muzmahil
Sina’ay Be-Soz Mein Dhoond Khudi Ka Maqam !
Thy soul is weary under the stress of slavery,
build niche for khudi in thy impassive breast
Makar-O-Fan-E-Khawajgi Kash Samajhta Ghulam !
