sambhal sambhal ke chalna fir dekh hath na
malna meri bat man mujhe apna jan
mat ban nadan pyare sambhal sambhal ke
chalna fir dekh hath na malna
meri bat man mujhe apna jan mat ban nadan pyare
sambhal sambhal ke chalna

jiwan ki pagdandi ke hai unche niche raste
jiwan ki pagdandi ke hai unche niche raste
o matwale o dilwale kat le haste haste o
matwale o dilwale kat le haste haste
sunle geet mere man ke meet fir hogi jeet pyare
sambhal sambhal ke chalna fir dekh hath na
malna meri bat man mujhe apna jan
mat ban nadan pyare sambhal sambhal ke chalna

soch samjh ke chalna pyare dunia hai ek dhokha
soch samjh ke chalna pyare dunia hai ek dhokha
chota sa jiwan hai tera ek hawa ka jhoka
chota sa jiwan hai tera ek hawa ka jhoka
ye bahar kaha bar bar bas ek bar hai pyare
sambhal sambhal ke chalna fir dekh hath na malna
meri bat man mujhe apna jan mat ban nadan pyare
sambhal sambhal ke chalna fir dekh hath na malna
meri bat man mujhe apna jan
mat ban nadan pyare sambhal sambhal ke chalna

Tread softly, lest you wring your hands in woe,
Heed my words, embrace me as your own,
Do not be naive, dear, tread softly, go,
Lest you wring your hands, alone.
Heed my words, embrace me as your own,
Do not be naive, dear, tread softly, go.

The path of life, a tapestry of highs and lows,
The path of life, a tapestry of highs and lows,
Oh, dreamer, oh, heart, embrace it as it flows,
Oh, dreamer, oh, heart, embrace it as it flows.
Listen to my soul's song, friend, victory you'll know,
Tread softly, lest you wring your hands in woe,
Heed my words, embrace me as your own,
Do not be naive, dear, tread softly, go.

Walk with thought, my love, for the world deceives,
Walk with thought, my love, for the world deceives,
Your life, a fleeting breath, the wind retrieves,
Your life, a fleeting breath, the wind retrieves.
This spring, a single bloom, the heart believes,
Tread softly, lest you wring your hands in woe,
Heed my words, embrace me as your own,
Do not be naive, dear, tread softly, go,
Lest you wring your hands in woe,
Heed my words, embrace me as your own,
Do not be naive, dear, tread softly, go.
