Hujoom Dekh Ke Raste Nahi Badalte Hum by Habib Jalib

ہجوم دیکھ کے رستہ نہیں بدلتے ہم
کسی کے ڈر سے تقاضا نہیں بدلتے ہم

[Hujoom dekh ke rasta nahi badalte hum]
[Kisi ke dar se taqaza nahi badalte hum]

We do not change our path just by seeing the crowd
We do not change our demands out of fear

ہزار زیر قدم راستہ ہو خاروں کا
جو چل پڑیں تو ارادہ نہیں بدلتے ہم

[Hazaar zair-e-qadam rasta ho kharon ka]
[Jo chal parain to irada nahi badalte hum]

It doesn’t matter how thorny the path is underfoot
Once we begin, we do not change our intention

اسی لیے تو نہیں معتبر زمانے میں
کہ رنگ صورت دنیا نہیں بدلتے ہم

[Isi liye to nahi mu’tabar zamane mein]
[Ke rang-o-soorat duniya nahi badalte hum]

That’s why we are not respected in these times,
Because the appearance of the world cannot change us

ہوا کو دیکھ کے جالبؔ مثال ہم عصراں
بجا یہ زعم ہمارا نہیں بدلتے ہم

[Hawa ko dekh ke Jaleeb, misaal hum asraon]
[Bijaa yeh zeum hamara, nahi badalte hum]

Looking at the winds, Jaleeb, we resemble our contemporaries,
This is the belief we hold: we do not change
