hum dekhenge
lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge

wo din ki jis ka wada hai
jo lauh-e-azal mein likhkha hai

jab zulm-o-sitam ke koh-e-giran
rui ki tarah ud jaenge

hum mahkumon ke panw-tale
jab dharti dhad-dhad dhadkegi

aur ahl-e-hakam ke sar-upar
calls to arms

we will see!
we are also duty-bound to see!

what happens on the day of promise,
written on tablets of history

we will see!
jab bijli kad-kad kadkegi

jab arz-e-khuda ke kabe se
sab but uthwae jaenge

hum ahl-e-safa mardud-e-haram
masnad pe bithae jaenge

sab taj uchhaale jaenge
sab takht girae jaenge

bas nam rahega allah ka
jo ghaeb bhi hai hazir bhi

jo manzar bhi hai nazir bhi
utthega anal-haq ka nara

jo main bhi hun aur tum bhi ho
when massive mountains of cruelty and tyranny

will be blown sky-high like fluffs of cotton
when marching steps of the downtrodden

will make the earth beneath their feet quake and shudder
when skies above the heads of tyrant rulers

by streaks of lighting are split asunder
we will see!

when from the sacred square of the kaaba
idols of false gods will be uprooted:

when to us rootless and unwanted
seats of power will be granted.

all crowns will be tossed into the air
all thrones ground to dust

we will see!
aur raj karegi khalq-e-khuda

jo main bhi hun aur tum bhi ho
only the name of allah will prevail

allah who is invisible and yet omnipresent,
who is the scene and its viewer

then 'i am the truth' will be the cry
that will rend the sky,

which includes both you and i!
