tum meri jivan naiya ho tum meri jivan naiya ho
is naiya ke tum hi khivaiya ho
tum meri jivan naiya ho
is naiya ke tum hi khivaiya ho
ham hai musafir tum ho naiya
ham hai musafir tum ho naiya dono ka hai sath
naiya tumhare hatho me sajan
naiya tumhare hatho me sajan
ham naiya ke hath tum hi meri jivan naiya ho
tum ho meri jivan naiya ho
is naiya ke tum hi khivaiya ho
tum meri jivan naiya ho
is naiya ke tum hi khivaiya ho

ham hai sipaiya
ham hai sipaiya na tahni sajni rakhna hamari laaj
chahe duba do chahe taira do
chahe duba do chahe taira do naiya tumhare hath
tumhi mere paar lagaiya ho
tumhi mere paar lagaiya ho
is naiya ke tum hi khivaiya hai

hath se galli chut gayi hath se galli chut gayi
aan fasi majdhar le chal le chal le chal naiya
le chal le chal le chal naiya sagar ke us paar
na bas mera na bas tera dono hai majdhar
na bas mera na bas tera dono hai majdhar
paar laga de naiya hamari paar laga de naiya hamari
jai jai ke khevanhaar jag ke khevanhaar

You are the vessel of my life, you are.
The boatman of this vessel, you alone are.
You are the vessel of my life, you are.
The boatman of this vessel, you alone are.

We are travelers, you are the boat,
Our journey, a shared note.
The boat rests within your hands, Beloved,
Within your hands, Beloved.
We, the boat's fate, in your hold,
You are the vessel of my life, you are.
The boatman of this vessel, you alone are.

We are the sailors,
My love, guard our honor.
Whether you sink or you raise,
The boat's fate, in your gaze.
You alone are my ferryman,
You alone are my ferryman.
The boatman of this vessel, you alone are.

The rope slips from my hand,
Caught in the current's command.
Take us, take us, take us, boat,
To the ocean's distant coast.
Neither mine, nor yours, adrift we roam,
Neither mine, nor yours, adrift we roam.
Ferry our boat to the shore,
Hymn to the ferryman, of the world's core.
