ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke
ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke
manjil mushkil to kya, dhundala sahil to kya
tanha ye dil to kya, ho

rah pe kante bikhre agar
us par to phir bhi chalna hi hai
sham chhupa le suraj magar
rat ko ek din dhalna hi hai
rut ye tal jayegi, himat rang layegi
subha phir aayegi
ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke
ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke

hogi hume rahamat ada, dhup kategi saye tale
apni khuda se hai ye dua manjil laga le hamko gale
jarurat sau bar rahe, yu chahe ikarar rahe
zinda har pyar rahe
ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke
ye honsla kaise jhuke, ye aarzu kaise ruke

How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?
How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?
Though the path be hard, the shore unclear,
And the heart alone, what does it fear?

If thorns are strewn along the way,
Still, we must walk, come what may.
Though twilight hides the sun's embrace,
Night must give way to dawn's bright face.
This season shall pass, courage will bloom,
And morning's light will banish the gloom.
How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?
How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?

Mercy will be bestowed, we shall see,
Sunlight will be shadowed tenderly.
Our prayer to God, a constant plea,
That the goal embrace us, wild and free.
A hundred needs, a thousand vows,
May love's bright flame forever rouse.
How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?
How can this courage yield, this yearning cease?
