ye duniya ki rel musafir
ye duniya ki rel musafir
chhak chhak chalti jaye re chalti jaye
re pal pal aage badhti jaye re aage badhti jaye re

sanso ki patri pe bhage raah chale na aadi
isme lage kismat ke pahiye
chal jaye to gaadi baba chal jaye to gaadi baba
nagar nagar mein taharti rukati
nagar nagar mein taharti rukati
manjil tak pahuchaye re
re pal pal aage badhti jaye re
aage badhti jaye re aage badhti jaye re

is gaadi mein dekh na pyere
jaat paat ke fande jaat paat ke fande
ek jagah par mil kar baithe
sab bhagwan ke bande baba
sab bhagwan ke bande baba
do din ka ye safar hai baba
do din ka ye safar hai baba
manjil tak pahuchaye re pal pal
aage badhti jaye re aage badhti jaye re

seth muhajim chor uchake is gaadi mein sath chale
raat ko soye dhan lut jaye aur sawere hath male
aur sawere hath male koi bajaye chain ki bansi
koi bajaye chaik ki bansi koi neer bahaye
aage badhti jaye re aage badhti jaye re
ye duniya ki rel musafir
chhak chhak chalti jaye re chalti jaye
re pal pal aage badhti jaye re aage badhti jaye re

This world, a train of travelers,
Chugs on, it goes, it goes,
Each moment forward, it flows, it flows.
On breath’s track, it races, no sideways path,
Fate’s wheels are engaged,
If it moves, the carriage moves, if it moves, the carriage moves.
In every city it pauses, it halts,
In every city it pauses, it halts,
To the destination it leads,
Each moment forward it goes,
It flows, it flows.

In this carriage, see, dear one,
The snares of caste and creed,
Together, all are seated,
All of God's children,
All of God's children.
A journey of merely two days,
A journey of merely two days,
Let it pass in unity,
Each moment forward, it goes,
It flows, it flows.

Rich merchants, thieves, and vagrants travel this train,
At night, wealth is plundered, in the morning, hands wring,
In the morning, hands wring.
Some play a flute of peace,
Some shed tears,
Forward it goes,
It flows, it flows.
This world, a train of travelers,
Chugs on, it goes, it goes,
Each moment forward, it goes,
It flows, it flows.
