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!

Chœur Mais ses flots étaient maintenant écarlates De sang humain, La mort était en furie de manière épouvantable : Il avançait à travers les prairies en fleurs Dévastant tout de ses pieds d'airain. Ô terre du soleil, quels pas Marchent sur ton corps, Jette à bas ton pilier, piétine Les colonnes des dieux et les pagodes ? Il est là, il est là celui de Gazna, Il s'approche dans sa terrible colère ! Chœur des conquérants Vive Gazna, le puissant prince ! Chœur des Indiens Mort au tyran !
