1/3: raftaar

dekh

raftaar-e-inquilab 'firaq'

kitni aahista

aur kitni tez

watch

the pace of revolution, firaq

how deliberate

and, yet, how swift

Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)

2/3: raftaar

inquilaab aayega raftaar se

mayoos na ho

bahut aahista nahin hai

jo bahut tez nahin

the revolution will come soon

don’t be despondent

it doesn’t come too slowly

not does it come too fast

Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)

3/3: raftaar

hausla hai to

safinon ke alam lahraao

bahte dariya to chalenge

isi raftaar ke saath

if you have the courage

unfurl the sails of your boat

the flowing river

will continue at its own pace

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)
