raaste ka patthar kismat ne mujhe bana diya
jo raaste se gujra ek thokar laga gaya
raaste ka patthar

kitne ghaw lage hai ye mat puchho mere dil pe
kitne ghaw lage hai ye mat puchho mere dil pe
kitni thokar khayi na pahuncha manzil pe
koi aage fenk gaya to koi pichhe hata gaya
raaste ka patthar kismat ne mujhe bana diya
jo raaste se gujra ek thokar laga gaya
raaste ka patthar

pahle kya kar paya kya iske baad karunga main
pahle kya kar paya kya iske baad karunga main
ja ri ja aye duniya kya tujhko yaad karunga main
do din teri mehfil me kya aaya kya gaya
raaste ka patthar kismat ne mujhe bana diya
jo raaste se gujra ek thokar laga gaya
raaste ka patthar

heera banke chamka har ek musafir ko roka
heera banke chamka har ek musafir ko roka
ye ummed bhi tuti logo ne na khaya dhokha
har ek uthakar mujhko phir yahi gira gaya
raaste ka patthar kismat ne mujhe bana diya
jo raaste se gujra ek thokar laga gaya
raaste ka patthar kismat ne mujhe bana diya
jo raaste se gujra ek thokar laga gaya
raaste ka patthar

A stone of the path, fate made me be,
Each who passed, a stumble for me.
A stone of the path.

Do not ask of the wounds on my heart,
Do not ask of the wounds on my heart,
So many stumbles, yet never a start.
Some cast me forward, some pulled me back, you see.
A stone of the path, fate made me be,
Each who passed, a stumble for me.
A stone of the path.

What could I before, what can I now?
What could I before, what can I now?
Begone, world, why should I avow?
Two days in your halls, what came, what did flee?
A stone of the path, fate made me be,
Each who passed, a stumble for me.
A stone of the path.

A diamond I shone, stopped each traveler's way,
A diamond I shone, stopped each traveler's way,
That hope shattered, their deceit did not stay.
Each lifted me up, then cast down for all to see,
A stone of the path, fate made me be,
Each who passed, a stumble for me.
A stone of the path, fate made me be,
Each who passed, a stumble for me.
A stone of the path.
