SACH KAH Don AYE BRAHMAN! GAR TU BURAA NA MAANEY
TEREY SANAM-KADOn KE BUT HO GAYE PURAANEY
APNOn SE BAIR RAKHNAA TU NE BHTOn SE SEEKHAA
JAnG-O-JADAL SIKHAAYAA WAAIZ KO BHI KHUDAA NE
TAnG AA KE MAIn NE AAKHIR DAIR-O-HARAM KO CHHODAA
WAAIZ KA WAAZ CHHODAA, CHHODEY TIREY FASAANEY  

PATTHAR KI MOORATOn MEIn SAMJHAA HAI TU KHDAA HAI

 AA GHAIRIYAT KE PARDEY IK BAAR PHIR UTHAA DEIn
BICHDOn KO PHIR MILAA DEIn, NAQSH-E-DUI MITAA DEIn
SOONI PADI HUI HAI MUDDAT SE DIL KI BASTI

DUNYAA KE TEERATHOn SE OONCHAA HO APNAA TEERATH
DAAMAAN-E-AASMAAn SE US KA KALAS MILAA DEIn
HAR SUBH UTHH KE GAAYEIn MANTAR WO MEETHEY MEETHEY
SAAREY PUJAARIYOn KO MAI PEET KI PILAA DEIn
  

SHAKTI BHI SHAANTI BHI BHAKTOn KE GEET MEIn HAI
DHARTI KE BAASIYOn KI MUKTI PREET MEIn HAI

 
 English Translation

  A New Altar
 
 O Brahman! Should I speak the truth if you don`t mind?
The idols of your temples have gone antiquated.
You`ve learnt, from the idols, to harbor animosity towards our own people;
the God too has taught his preacher the ways of violence and war.
Having got fed-up I left temple as well as mosque;
[I] left attending the lecture of the preacher as well as your story-sessions.
You think that God resides in the stone idols
Each speck of the motherland is God to me.
Come, let`s, once again, remove the curtains of unacquaintedness;
let`s help the separated beings meet again [and] remove the motif of duality.
The territory of heart is vacuous for a long time.
Come, let`s make a new shrine in this land.
Our shrine should be taller than all the shrines of the world!
We should make its spire touch the edge of the sky.
We should sing, each morning, the amiable hymns
[and] make all the worshippers drink the wine of love!
[Both] power and peace are implied in the songs of the disciples.
The salvation of the people of the world lies in love!
