ho dil na dukh jaye, garibo ka hamesha darna
zindagi khwaab hai, is par na bharosa karna
bata de bhagwan, jaye kaha koi nahi apna yaha
bata de bhagwan, jaye kaha koi nahi apna yaha
bata de bhagwan

na puchho aadmi par kya gujarti hai mushibat me
khilona banke rah jata hai jab majbur hota hai
haaye wo rota hai, bata de bhagwan

zamane ka sataya is tarha majbur hota hai
ki jaise chand gehnaya hua benur hota hai
haye wo rota hai, bata de bhagwan

bigad jati hai jab kismat, kisi se kuch nahi banta
wohi hota hai jo bhagwan ko manjur hota hai
wohi hota hai, bata de bhagwan

Fear the heart's ache of the poor, forever dreading,
Life, a dream, trust it not, its fleeting.
Tell me, God, where does one go, none are their own,
Tell me, God, where does one go, none are their own,
Tell me, God.

Ask not what man endures in hardship's plight,
A toy he becomes, when helplessness bites.
Alas, he weeps, tell me, God.

The world's torment renders one so weak,
Like the moon eclipsed, its luster meek.
Alas, he weeps, tell me, God.

When fate unravels, nothing can be made,
Only what God wills, is displayed.
Only what is, tell me, God.
