meri kismat meri kismat meri kismat futi kismat
tere bin jiya jaye na tere bin raha jaye na
tere bin jiya jaye na tere bin raha jaye na

mana mana maula jise nikli wo ullu
bhatinda ka ticket liya pohcha main kullu
zindagi ka rail saap seedhi ka khel
ise ghise ghise ghise ghise nikale na tel
dhire dhire dhire dhire aaye dono aankhe chamkaye
kabhi hero kabhi zero jaise mujhko banaye

ubal ne ko rakhun aalu nikalta hain anda
nek kaam karne jaau pichhe pade danda
le meri le le meri tu poori tarah le le
tere hote mere sang doosra kyun jhele

aaja lag ja gale dilruba dilruba lag ja gale dilrubaa
koyal kooke kutta bhonke
aaja lag ja gale dilruba dilruba dilruba

meri kismat meri kismat meri kismat futi kismat
aaja lag jaa dilruba dilruba
meri kismat meri kismat meri kismat futi kismat

My fate, my fate,
My broken, shattered fate,
Without you, life cannot be borne,
Without you, I cannot remain.
Without you, life cannot be borne,
Without you, I cannot remain.

I concede, O Lord, from whom this folly springs,
Took a ticket to Kullu, though my soul sings
Of Bhatinda, a path less known.
Life's a game of snakes and ladders, the rail's embrace,
Grinding, grinding, grinding, to no avail,
Never extracting the oil, a wasted chase.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, both eyes gleam,
Making me hero, then zero, a fleeting dream.

I boil potatoes, and an egg appears,
I seek good deeds, and a stick appears.
Take me, take me, take me completely,
With you, why should another bear my suffering?

Come, embrace, beloved, heart's beloved,
Embrace, beloved.
The cuckoo coos, the dogs bark,
Come, embrace, beloved, beloved, beloved.
My fate, my fate,
My broken, shattered fate,
Come, embrace, beloved, beloved,
My fate, my fate,
My broken, shattered fate.
