bande bande bande
kabhi na himmatr har bande
jivan hai kilwad bande
kabhi na himmat har bande
jivan hai kilwad bande
kabhi na himmat har bande

yahi khel ki reet hai bande
yahi khel ki reet hai bande
haar haar kar jeet bande
kabhi na ho lachar bande
sab kuch sehna haste rehna
do din sukh hai do din dukh hai
kaisa soch vichar
kaisa soch vichar
kabhi na himmat har bande
jivan hai kilwad bande

O Soul, O Soul, O Soul,
Never lose heart, O Soul.
Life's a playful game, O Soul,
Never lose heart, O Soul.
Life's a playful game, O Soul,
Never lose heart, O Soul.

This is the game's decree, O Soul,
This is the game's decree, O Soul:
Win by losing, O Soul.
Never be frail, O Soul.
Endure all, and laugh aloud,
Two days of joy, two days of woe,
Why such heavy thoughts?
Why such heavy thoughts?
Never lose heart, O Soul.
Life's a playful game, O Soul.
