chhod chala aaj panchhi apna basera
chhod chala aaj panchhi apna basera
jaane ab zindagi ka kahan hoga dera
wo din rahe na to fir, ye bhi na rahenge
aaj agar dukh hain to kal, sukh bhi milenge
dukho se na ghabra bande
dukho se na ghabra tera hafiz khuda hoga
bhala kar bhala hoga
bura kar bura hoga
neki aur badi ka bande, yahi faisla hoga
bhala kar bhala hoga

The bird departs its nest this eve, it flies,
Where shall life's tent now pitch beneath the skies?
Those days are gone, and we too, fade away,
If grief holds sway today, joy dawns tomorrow's day.

Fear not the sorrow, O soul, be strong,
Your Guardian God will right what feels wrong.
Do good, and goodness shall be your reward,
Do ill, and ill shall be your fate, un-ignored.
For good and evil, here the judgement lies,
Do good, and goodness shall grace your eyes.
