najar aati nahi manjil, tadapne se bhi kya haasil
takdir me ae mere dil, andhere hi andhere hain
najar aati nahi manjil

majburi ne jisko mara, uska kaun sahaara
maanjhi to mil jaate hain par milta nahi kinsara
takdir me ae mere dil, andhere hi andhere hain
najar aati nahi manjil

naino se yu chhin gayi jyoti, sip se jaise moti
ek jaan aur sau dushman hain, kash ye jaan naa hoti
takdir me ae mere dil, andhere hi andhere hain
najar aati nahi manjil

khalti hai ye paas ki duri, jalti aas adhuri
kis ko dosh lagaye, sab ke sang majburi
takdir me ae mere dil, andhere hi andhere hain
najar aati nahi manjil, tadapne se bhi kya haasil
takdir me ae mere dil, andhere hi andhere hain
najar aati nahi manjil

The destination unseen, what gain in this ache?
In fate, oh my heart, only shadows awake.
The destination unseen.

By compulsion felled, who offers their hand?
Though captains abound, no harbor is planned.
In fate, oh my heart, only shadows awake.
The destination unseen.

From eyes, light now fled, like pearls from the shell,
One life, a hundred foes, a cursed, bitter spell.
In fate, oh my heart, only shadows awake.
The destination unseen.

The nearness, it stings, hopes withered and dry,
Whom to accuse? All bound by a sigh.
In fate, oh my heart, only shadows awake.
The destination unseen, what gain in this ache?
In fate, oh my heart, only shadows awake.
The destination unseen.
