mere to, mere to jivan naiya ki
patwaar tumhare haath me hai
mere to, mere jivan ke dukh sukh ka
sansaar tumhare saathe me hai, mere to

chahe naiya paar laga do
chahe bich bhawar me duba do
mere praano ki, mere praano ki
saanso ka har taar tumhare haath me hai
mere to, mere to jivan naiya ke
patwaar tumhare haath me hai, mere to

naiya phuli nahi samaye tufano ko naach nachaye
aji puchho to, aji puchho to
is naiya ki ye jeet bhala kis baat me hai
mere to, lahron pe machalti naiya me
lahron pe machlti naiya me
mera jo khewaiya saath me hai
mere to, mere to jivan naiya ke
patwaar tumhare haath me hai, mere to

My life's small vessel, adrift and frail,
Its rudder clasped within Your hand alone.
My joys, my sorrows, the world's vast trail,
Found in Your presence, make my heart their home.

Whether you guide it to the distant shore,
Or let it founder, swallowed by the deep,
The threads of breath, I have no more,
Each held by You, where secrets sleep.

Though storms may rage, and fury rise and swell,
The vessel dances, buoyant, bold and free,
And ask, I pray, the tale I cannot tell,
Where lies the victory, for all to see?
Upon the waves, my vessel gently sways,
Upon the waves, my vessel gently sways,
With You, my helmsman, guiding all my ways.
My life's small vessel, adrift and frail,
Its rudder clasped within Your hand alone.
