Bhagat Singh - Gurdas Maan translation in English

Bhagat Singh

Maut nu maasi aakhan waala, aazadi da yaar

Papi aen tu papi singha eh ki kita tu
Kes kataye des lai main sir katvauna baaki ae
Gustakhi di maafi chahuna, sahib de darbaar

Vaarr khet nu khavan laggi kaun karu rakhwaali
Chaavaan de rukh laavan waale, dhuppe baithe maali
Dharam yog vich dharam yog hai, eh Gita da saar

Eh gore angrezo lai jaayo wapis tambu taane
Is darkhej mitti di kukh vich khopriyaan na beejo
Khopriyaan vichon ugg painge inklaab de daane
Ik Bhagat nu maaroge te lakhan bhagat tyaar

Saadi te gall pyaar naal hai, pyaar na samjhauna
Zulam na karna, zulam na sehna, sabh da bhala manauna
Guru Gobind Sahib jee da mukhon eh furmauna
Hath jorre je kam na aave, chuk lavo hathiyaar
Deevaane, parwaane, paagal jo v samjho saanu
Puch laina Gurdas Maan ton ki hunda ae tyaag

Bhagat Singh

The one who called death his aunt, a friend of freedom

Oh sinner, you are such a sinner, what did you do, oh Singh?
I cut my hair for the country, I have yet to sacrifice my head
I ask for forgiveness for my insolence, in the court of the Lord

The crops are ready to be harvested, who will guard them?
Those who should protect the fields, are sitting in the sun
Righteousness is in the path of righteousness, this is the essence of the Gita

Oh white Englishmen, go back and pack your tents
Do not sow skulls in the womb of this dark earth
From the skulls, the seeds of revolution will sprout
If you kill one Bhagat, lakhs of Bhagats will be ready

Our talk is of love, do not misunderstand love
Do not do oppression, do not tolerate oppression, think of the good of all
This is the saying of Guru Gobind Sahib jee
If folded hands do not work, take up arms
Call us crazy, moths, fools, if you wish
Ask Gurdas Maan what sacrifice is
