1/2: takht

takht vaale to

ho gaye maazool

barsar-e-iqtidaar

hain hum log

those who sat on thrones

were thrown out

we, the people

are at the helm of power

2/2: takht

subh ke takht-nasheen

shaam ke mujrim tahre

hum ne pal bhar mein

naseebon ko badalte dekha

those seated on the throne in the morn

were declared criminals by dusk

we have in seconds

seen fortunes change wildly
