raat yuu. dil me.n terii kho'ii hu'ii yaad aayii
Last night, a lost memory of you stole itself into my heart
Jaise viiraanay me.n chupkay se bahaar aa jaa'ye
Like spring slowly creeps over a forgotten wilderness
jaisay sehraa'o.n me.n hauley se chalay baad-e-nasiim
Like a gentle breeze blows softly over the desert
jaisay biimaar ko be-vajha qaraar aa jaa'ye
Like the ailing patient who finds solace for no reason
Aaj bazaar mein pabajaulon chalo
Let's walk into the bazaar in chains
Chasm-e-nam jaan-e-shoreeda kaafi nahin
Teary eyes and a passionate spirit aren't enough
Tohmat-e-ishq-e posheeda kaafi nahin
Accusations of a hidden love aren't enough
Aaj bazaar mein pabajaulon chalo
Let's walk into the bazaar in chains
Dast-o-afshaan chalo mast-o-raqsaan chalo
With our hands flailing dancing intoxicated
Khaak barsar chalo khoon badaaman chalo
Kicking the dust our sleeves soaked with blood
Raah takhta hai sab shahr-e-janaan chalo
The path is calling, let us go on to our beloved city
Haakim-e-shehr bhi majma-e-aam bhi
The city keepers and commoners too
Teer-e-ilzaam bhi sang-e-dushnaam bhi
The accuser's arrows and the abuser's stones
Subh-e-nashaad bhi roz-e-nakaam bhi
The hopeless morning too and the defeated day too
Unka damsaaz apne siva kaun hai
Who else remains their friend?
Shehr-e-janaan mein ab basafaa kaun hai
Who else in the beloved city remains sincere?
Dast-e-qaatil ka shayaan raha kaun hai
Who has not been spared the hand of the killers?
Rakht-e-dil baandh lo dil figaaro chalo
Pull up your spirits and go forth
Phir hamein qatl ko aaye yaaron chalo
March on and fall into the thick of battle
Aaj bazaar mein pabajaulo chalo
Into the bazaar, go forth in chains
