baabuji dhire chalanaa
pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa
haan bade dhokhe hai
bade dhokhe hai is raah me, baabuji

kyun ho khoye huye sar jhukaaye
jaise jaate ho sab kuchh lutaaye
ye to baabuji pahalaa kadam hai
nazar aate hai apane paraaye
haan bade dhokhe hai

ye muhabbat hai o bholebhaale
kar na dil ko gamo ke havaale
kaam ulafat kaa naazuk bahut hai
aake hotho pe tutege pyaale
haan bade dhokhe hai

ho gayi hai kisi se jo anaban
thaam le dusaraa koi daaman
zidagaani ki raahe ajab hai
ho akelaa hai to laakho hai dushman
haan bade dhokhe hai

Father, walk with gentle tread,
In love, tread softly, fear ahead.
Deceit abounds, a shadowed plight,
Down this road, in fading light.

Why lost, your head bowed low in pain,
As if all you held is now in vain?
This, father, is but the first true test,
Where friends and foes stand manifest.
Deceit abounds...

Love, oh innocent, naive of heart,
Do not let sorrows tear apart.
The work of love is fragile, slight,
Like cups that shatter in the fading light.
Deceit abounds...

If discord brews, a rift appears,
Seek another hand to calm your fears.
Life's paths are strange, a winding maze,
Alone, and enemies will fill your days.
Deceit abounds...
