देवनागरी में; ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ ਲਿਪੀ ਵਿੱਚ

O worker! You live atop a mountain

while the robbers are looting...

They live in palaces and bite you

like snakes wrapped around you...

You kept on tilling the rocky earth

You kept filling your stomach with droplets of blood

Now you know who your kin are and who are the strangers

Leave behind the differences of caste and creed...

O worker! Leave behind the differences...

Like an idiot you spent generations here

The ranges of the Himalaya can testify

These butchers drowned

heaps of your happiness...

O friend! Heaps of your happiness...

Dark clouds are looming over the days of the looters

Color of sickle and hammer is everywhere

The darkness is vanishing

It's getting brighter everywhere...

O friend! The sun is rising everywhere

These butchers drowned

heaps of your happiness...
