jidhar dekhtaa hoo.n, udhar hai.n andhere,
WHEREVER I LOOK THERE THE DARKNESSES ARE,

agar teree duniyaa me.n ye Gham rahenge,
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING,

agar teree duniyaa me.n ye, Gham rahenge
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING,

THEN HOW IN THE WORLD WILL WE BE EXISTING,

agar teree duniyaa me.n ye, Gham rahenge
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING.

TELL US HOW LONG THIS OPPRESSION WILL WE BE ENDURING?

agar, teree duniyaa me.n ye Gham rahenge
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING...


rahegaa sitam kaa , agar ye andhera
IF THE DARKNESS OF OPPRESSION WILL BIDE,

toh miT jaaegaa, naam duniyaa se teraa
THEN IN THIS WORLD YOUR NAME WILL NOT ABIDE,

rahegaa sitam kaa , agar ye andhera
IF THE DARKNESS OF OPPRESSION WILL BIDE,

THEN HOW IN THE WORLD WILL WE BE EXISTING,

Agar, teree duniyaa me.n ye, Gham rahenge
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING.
