ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le
jiske piche gum lage hai us khushi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le

de nahi sakta agar aaram ka ek sans bhi
de nahi sakta agar aaram ka ek sans bhi
paw mere tod de aawargi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le
jiske piche gum lage ho us khushi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le

aankh me aasu kaha ro du jo apne hal par
aankh me aasu kaha ro du jo apne hal par
aa gayi jo apne gum par us hasi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le
jiske piche gum lage ho us khushi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le
ya meri manjil bata ya jindagi ko chin le

Tell me my path, or take my life instead,
Tell me my path, or take my life instead,
And if joy brings sorrow, steal that joy instead.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead.

If you cannot grant a moment's peaceful breath,
If you cannot grant a moment's peaceful breath,
Break my feet, and steal away my wandering.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead,
And if joy brings sorrow, steal that joy instead.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead.

Where can I weep, these tears, my fate to mourn?
Where can I weep, these tears, my fate to mourn?
If my own grief brings laughter, steal that mirth instead.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead,
And if joy brings sorrow, steal that joy instead.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead.
Tell me my path, or take my life instead.
