تون چئين مَ ڪڇان
تون چئين مَ لڇان
پر توکان هڪڙي ڳالهه پُڇان
تون ڪنهن ڪنهن کي خاموش ڪندي
اعلان هزارين مان نه رڳو
شيخ اياز
Not Me Alone, Not Me Alone
Not Me Alone, Not Me Alone
They have died without their death, thousands of men, not me alone, not me alone.
In this world, O my country, thousands have gone crazy, not me alone, not me alone;
All night long eyes did not close and dew fell drop by drop,
If the morning cups its hand then,
In prison, there will be thousands, not me alone not me alone;
not me alone, not me alone
Not Me Alone, Not Me Alone
Not Me Alone, Not Me Alone
Why does the moon fill the world with poison,
In these last hours of the night,
thousands wonder, not me alone;
If you say so, I will neither tremble nor cry,
But now let me ask you: how many will you silence,
proclamations are thousands, not me alone;
Time will pass and our luck will turn,
This fire will rage all the more,
Thousands hopes, not me alone.
