dukh sukh ka hai nit ka nata
ek jata ek aata bande
ek jata ek aata
sardi garmi sukha barsa
rain bin kya sacha
rain bin kya sacha bande

le himmat se kaam bande
jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram
jivan hai sangram
le himmat se kaam bande
jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram

khel khiladi guru ke pasa
jab tak sasha tab tak asha
le himmat se kaam
bande jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram
khel khiladi guru ke pasa
jab tak sasha tab tak asha
le himmat se kaam
bande jivan hai sangram
bande jivan hai sangram

Sorrow and joy, a timeless embrace,
One departs, another finds its place, O mortal.
One departs, another finds its place.

Winter's chill, summer's fiery kiss,
Drought and deluge, a cycle's art,
What is the dawn without the endless night?
What is the dawn without the endless night, O mortal?

Embrace courage as your guide,
Life, a battlefield of the soul.
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
Life, a battlefield of the soul.
Embrace courage as your guide,
Life, a battlefield of the soul.
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.

The game unfolds, the Guru's roll,
While breath remains, hope takes hold.
Embrace courage as your guide,
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
The game unfolds, the Guru's roll,
While breath remains, hope takes hold.
Embrace courage as your guide,
O mortal, life, a battlefield of the soul.
