Chor Doch seine Ströme sind jetzt rot Von Menschenblut, Es wütet fürchterlich der Tod; Er schreitet durch die blumigen Wiesen Verheerend mit den ehernen Füßen. O Land der Sonne, wessen Schritt Geht über deinen Boden, Wirft deine Pfeiler um, zertritt Die Göttersäulen und Pagoden? Er ist's, er ist's von Gazna, Er naht in seinem grimmen Zorn! Chor der Eroberer Gazna lebe, der mächtige Fürst! Chor der Inder Es sterbe der Tyrann!

Coro Pero sus ríos están rojos de sangre humana, temible la furiosa Muerte marcha por las floridas praderas, devastadora con sus pies de hierro. Oh país del Sol, ¿qué pasos avanzan sobre tu suelo, abaten tus pilares y aplastan las columnas de los dioses y las pagodas? ¡Sí, es él, el de Gazna1, que se acerca con furiosa cólera! Coro de los conquistadores ¡Viva Gazna, el poderoso príncipe! Coro de los indios ¡Muera el tirano!
