Aa jao Africa (Come back Africa)
by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

aa jao maine sun li tere dhol ki tarang
aa jao mast ho gayi mere lahu ki taal
aa jao Africa

[Come, i have heard the ecstasy of your drum
Come, the beating of my blood has become mad
Come, Africa]

aa jao maine dhool se maatha utha liya
aa jao maine cheel di aankho se gham ki chaal
aa jao maine dard se baazu chuda liya
aa jao maine noch diya bekasi ka jaal
aa jao Africa
[Come, i have lifted my head from the dust
Come, i have scraped from my eyes the veneer of grief
Come, i have released my arm from pain
Come, i have torn down the snare of helplessness
Come, Africa]

panje mein hathkadi ki kadi ban gayi hai gurz
gardan ka tauq tod ke dhaali hai maine dhaal
aa jao Africa
[In my grasp, a link of the manacle has become a mace
I have worn a shield, after breaking the iron-collar on my neck
Come, Africa]


chalte hai har kachhar mein bhaalon ke mrig nain
dushman lahu se raat ki kalak hui hai laal
aa jao Africa

[My spear-heads look like deer-eyes, and walk along every river-bank
And the dark of the night is red with enemy blood
Come, Africa]

dharti dhadak rahi hai mere saath Africa
dariya thirak raha hai to ban de raha hai taal
main Africa hoo dhaar liya maine tera roop
main too hoo meri chaal hai tere babar ki chaal
aa jao Africa
aao babar ki chaal
aa jao Africa

[The earth is trembling along with me, Africa
The river is dancing to the beat of the forest
I am Africa, i have taken your appearance
I am you; my walk is your lion-walk
Come, Africa
Come, with lion-walk
Come, Africa]
