dheer dharna jab aafat aaye
dheer dharna jab aafat aaye
dheer dharna
pyari hardul rab se darna
hardul rab se darna
aafat aaye dheer dharna
dheer dharna jab aafat aaye
dheer dharna

bar bar matlab ka jajba
bar bar matlab ka jajba
bhale kuch karna paar bina ho kate na
darr na raakhi toofan ka
paath bina hoga tera
darr na raakhi toofan ka
aaina dil bana
aur dhyaan dhar bhagwaan ka
dheer dharna jab aafat aaye
dheer dharna
dheer dharna jab aafat aaye

When shadows fall and trials descend,
Hold fast, hold steady, my friend.
Hold fast.
Beloved heart, fear God above,
Fear God, your source of love.
When shadows fall, hold fast your ground,
Hold fast, profound.

Again and again, the hunger of gain,
Again and again, the striving in vain.
Though much be done, without grace, it will fail,
Do not fear the storm's gale.
Without faith, you'll surely stray,
Do not fear the storm's way.
Be a mirror to your own heart,
And on the divine, your focus impart.
When shadows fall and trials descend,
Hold fast, my friend.
When shadows fall and trials descend.
