dagmag dole desh ki naiya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
kaal tufaan ne desh ko ghera
kaal tufaan ne desh ko ghera
chhaya charo aur andhera
chhaya charo aur andhera
tum bin koi na aur khaiwiya
tum bin koi na aur khaiwiya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
dukh ka bhed khol naa paayi
dukh ka bhed khol naa paayi

haal bacho pakdo khaiwiya
haal bacho pakdo khaiwiya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
paar lagao krishn kanheya
dagmag dole desh ki naiya
dagmag dole desh ki naiya

The nation's vessel, tossed and frail,
Krishna, Helmsman, now unveil
Your guiding hand, your saving grace,
Across this troubled, churning space.
The storm of time, a shadowed shroud,
Has cloaked the land, proclaimed aloud
Its reign of darkness, deep and vast,
No other savior holds us fast.
No other guide, no other plea,
Krishna, lead us to the sea
Of safe harbor, calm and bright,
Krishna, shine your saving light.

The heart's despair, a hidden wound,
Its secrets veiled, nowhere unbound.
Save us now, grasp the guiding oar,
Save us from the crashing shore.
Krishna, steer us, strong and true,
Krishna, see our journey through.
The nation's vessel, frail and torn,
The nation's vessel, newly born.
