Today there begins ‘Ghadar’ in foreign lands,
but in our country’s tongue, a war against the
British Raj

If anyone asks who we are
Tell them our name is REBEL

Our duty is to end the TYRANNY
Our profession is to launch revolution

That is our namaz (worship)
this is our sandhya (meditation)
Our puja (chant), our worship
THIS IS OUR RELIGION  OUR WORK
This is our only Khuda (God), our only Rama (Guru)
