Kisan — Shair-e-Inqilab Josh Malihabadi

Jhat-patay ka narm-ro baadal ka hum-saaya kisaan
Khet ka sultaan fitrat ka shanasa kisaan

Taigh-e-khursheed-e-jahan-taab ki kiranon ka habib
Muztarib zarron ko hamwaari sikhaata hai kisaan

Jis ke paseenay se damakti hai chaman ki har kali
Khaak ke seenay se moti dhaal laata hai kisaan

Mehnat-o-eesaar ka paikar mushaqqat ka nishaan
Aadmiyat ka bharam taqdees-e-aalam ka bayaan

Moving with gentle grace in the gathering twilight, intimate neighbor of storm clouds—the peasant farmer! Sovereign monarch of the fertile field, true confidant of Nature—the peasant farmer! Comrade to the blazing scimitar of the world-illuminating sun, He teaches calm equilibrium and harmony to restless particles of dust. From whose pearl-like sweat every budding flower in the garden gleams with radiance, Who conjures precious pearls of grain from the barren chest of the earth! Embodiment of tireless toil and selfless sacrifice, enduring banner of perseverance, The dignity of all humankind, the living testament to the world's sacred grace!
