Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu Lyrics:  

ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


yeh paanee behte-behte keh rahaa hai,
WHILE FLOWING, THIS WATER IS SAYING


kabhee voh din bhee aayegaa,
THAT DAY TOO WILL COME WHEN


yeh paanee ra.ngg laayegaa
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


yeh paanee rangg laayegaa,
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai..
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING..


yeh boo.nden dekh lenaa ek din toofaan laaye.ngee,
YOU’LL SEE, THESE DROPS WILL CREATE A STORM ONE DAY,


zamee.n toh hai zamee.n yeh aasmaa.n ko bhee hilaaye.ngee,
LET ALONE THE EARTH, THEY WILL SHAKE UP EVEN THE HEAVEN,


ghareebo.n ke gharo.n tak chal ke Khud bhagvaan aayegaa,
GOD HIMSELF WILL COME WALKING TO THE HOMES OF THE POOR,


yeh paanee ra.ngg laayegaa
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


yeh paanee rangg laayegaa,
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai ..
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING..


sitam kaa hadd se ba.Dh jaanaa tabaahee kee nishaanee hai,
WHEN OPPRESSION EXCEEDS THE LIMIT, 'TIS A SIGN OF DESTRUCTION,


badalte hai.n sabhee ke din puraanee yeh kahaanee hai,
EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY IS AN OLD STORY,


zamaanaa ek din girte huwo.n ko Khud uThaayegaa,
ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL ITSELF LIFT UP THE DOWN-TRODDEN LOT,


yeh paanee ra.ngg laayegaa
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


yeh paanee rangg laayegaa,
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai ..
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING..


agar jal kar kisee majboor ne fariyaad kar Daalee,
IF SOME OPPRESSED LODGES THE PETITION IN WRATH,


toh qudrat ke Khazaane dekhnaa ho jaaye.nge Khaalee,
THEN THE TREASURES OF NATURE, YOU’LL SEE, WILL BECOME DEPLETED,


zamee.n phaT jaayegee, ~~~
THE EARTH WILL SPLIT,


zamee.n phaT jaayegee sooraj kaa golaa TooT jaayegaa,
THE EARTH WILL SPLIT, THE BALL OF THE SUN WILL BE RENT ASSUNDER,


yeh paanee ra.ngg laayegaa
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


yeh paanee rangg laayegaa,
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


yeh paanee behte-behte keh rahaa hai,
WHILE FLOWING, THIS WATER IS SAYING


kabhee voh din bhee aayegaa,
THAT DAY TOO WILL COME WHEN


yeh paanee ra.ngg laayegaa
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


yeh paanee rangg laayegaa,
THIS EFFORT WILL BEAR FRUITS,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai ,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai,
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING,


ghareebo.n kaa paseenaa beh rahaa hai.
THE SWEAT OF THE POOR IS POURING.


NASIR

"All modes of government are failures. Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things. Oligarchies are unjust to the many, and ochlocracies [government by the masses] are unjust to the few. High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people, by the people, for the people."

The Soul of Man Under Socialism - OSCAR WILDE.
