jiwan naiya naiya bahti jaya naiya bahti jaye
hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho bahe re bahti jaye
bahe re bahti jaye hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho

aaye musafir jaye musafir dil ka dhokha khaye
ye musafir rah me laute jaye musafir lekin naiya
naiya bahti jaye naiya bahti jaye
hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho jiwan naiya
naiya bahti jaye naiya bahti jaye
hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho

kinara gahra pani tej bhawar lehre diwani
rag hawao rag hawao ke ga uthegi naiya
naiya behti jaye jiwan naiya behti jaye
hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho

dub gayi dub gayi maut ki gahri nadiya thi
dub gayi dub gayi sab sath ke saye
dub gaye andhe ho gaye andhe ho gaye raste sare
lekin naiya naiya bahti jaye
naiya bahti jaye hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho

manjil manjil badhte jao badhte jao badhte jao
tufano se mat ghabrao mat gharbaro
mat ghabrao milkar sathi jor lagao
hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho hayi ho

Life's a boat, the boat it flows, the boat it flows,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, it flows and goes,
Flows and goes, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho.

Travelers come, travelers go, hearts deceived by the show,
Some turn back upon the road, but the boat, it will still row,
The boat it flows, the boat it flows,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, life's a boat,
The boat it flows, the boat it flows,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho.

The shore is deep, the waters churn, mad waves that fiercely burn,
The music of the winds will rise, and the boat will then return,
The boat it flows, life's a boat, the boat it flows,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho.

Sank, sank, the deep rivers of death,
Sank, sank, the shadows of breath,
Sank, blinded, the paths disappear,
But the boat, the boat will continue,
The boat it flows,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho.

To the destination, onward you go,
Do not fear the storms that blow,
Do not fear, together, put forth your strength,
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho.
