Under a daisied bank
There stands a rich red ruminating cow,
And hard against her flank
A cotton-hooded milkmaid bends her brow.

O~~ O~~ O~~

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY....


bojh gham kaa hai chalaa jaataa nahee.n,
LADEN WITH SORROW, I CAN BARELY WALK,

bekasee kaa dukh sahaa jaataa nahee.n,
THE GRIEF OF HELPLESSNESS I CAN HARDLY BEAR,

saaraa aalam ajnabee hai kyaa karoo.n,
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS A STRANGER, WHAT TO DO?

uljhano.n me.n kuchh nazar aataa nahee.n,
AMONG CONFUSIONS, NOTHING SEEMS VISIBLE,

O~~~~

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY...

O~~~~O~~~O~~~~


mai.n kahee.n tham jaaoo.n yeh aadat nahee.n,
HALTING SOMEWHERE IS NOT MY HABIT,

haath phailaanaa meree fitrath nahee.n,
BEGGING IS NOT IN MY NATURE,

jab chalaa hoo.n mai.n toh ma.nzil paaoo.n gaa,
AS I’VE SET OUT, I’LL FIND THE DESTINATION,

mai.n nahee.n yaa phir meree qismat nahee.n
EITHER IT’S ME OR MY DESTINY,

O~~~
Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY....
