mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka
mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka
bas nahi chalta yaha insan ki tadbir ka
mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka

kon hai jis par kabhi kali ghat chai nahi
kon hai jis par kabhi kali ghat chai nahi
ram or ghanshyam par bhi kya vipat aayi nahi
ram or ghanshyam par bhi kya vipat aayi nahi
yad hai ban ban bhatakna janki raghuvir ka
mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka

sukh kabhi or dukh kabhi sukh kabhi or dukh kabhi
sansar ki ye reet hai sansar ki ye reet hai
aaj jiski har hai to kal usi ki jeet hai
dhup chaw ki rang hai sansar ki tasvir ka
mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka
bas nahi chalta yaha insan ki tadbir ka
mit nahi sakta kabhi likha hua takdir ka

The lines of fate, they cannot be erased,
The lines of fate, forever interlaced.
Man's striving here, it cannot hold its sway,
The lines of fate, they cannot fade away.

Who walks this earth untouched by shadows deep?
Who walks this earth, where sorrows never creep?
Did Rama and dark Krishna not endure?
Did trials not touch those spirits pure?
Recall the wanderings, the exile long,
Of Janaki and Rama, in their lonely song.
The lines of fate, they cannot be erased.

Joy and sorrow, ever intertwined,
This world's own rhythm, for all of humankind.
Today's defeat, tomorrow's victory's gleam,
The world's bright picture, a sunlit, shadowed dream.
The lines of fate, they cannot be erased,
Man's striving here, it cannot hold its sway,
The lines of fate, they cannot fade away.
