aye zindagi ke raahi himmat na haar jaana
aye zindagi ke raahi
aye zindagi ke raahi himmat na haar jaana
beetegi raat gham ki badalega ye zamaana
aye zindagi ke raahi

kyon raat ki siyaahi tujh ko dara rahi hai
kyon raat ki siyaahi tujh ko dara rahi hai
haare huye musaafir manzil bula rahi hai
haare huye musaafir manzil bula rahi hai
bas jaayega kisi din ujada jo aashiyaana
beetegi raat gham ki badalega ye zamaana
aye zindagi ke raahi

haatho se tere daaman ummeed ka na chhute
haatho se tere daaman ummeed ka na chhute
dam tut jaaye lekin himmat kabhi na tute
dam tut jaaye lekin himmat kabhi na tute
marne me kya dhara hai jeene kaa kar bahaana
beetegi raat gham ki badalega ye zamaana
aye zindagi ke raahi

O traveler of life, do not surrender,
O traveler of life,
O traveler of life, do not surrender,
The night of sorrow will pass, this time will change,
O traveler of life.

Why does the darkness of night frighten you so?
Why does the darkness of night frighten you so?
Weary traveler, the destination calls,
Weary traveler, the destination calls,
Someday the ruined nest will be rebuilt,
The night of sorrow will pass, this time will change,
O traveler of life.

Let not the hem of hope slip from your grasp,
Let not the hem of hope slip from your grasp,
Though breath may cease, let courage never break,
Though breath may cease, let courage never break,
What is there in dying, seek the art of living,
The night of sorrow will pass, this time will change,
O traveler of life.
