Song's Lyrics

The song begins (English translation) :

Every flower says, life means a battle ground, where one struggles...

Every flower says, life means a battle ground, where one struggles...

Every morning says that, day is certain after a night..

We need to have faith in our life....

We will, of course, achieve the goal one day..

Mind, Oh Mind you transform (change your thoughts)..

Whether it is a rain or snow, you combat..

One should not lose the hope at any cost (at any day & at any point of time in life)..

One should not have the feeling of "What is this life?"

Tell me, which human heart is not hurt or injured??.. (Which human heart do not have lacerated feelings??)

It is a Charm (magic), that these feelings will vanish in the course of time..

Only the rocks which bears the chisel becomes a sculpture on the earth..

The heart which bears the pain only finds the lasting gaiety..

Who doesn't have struggles (hurdles, hinderances, impediments)?..

Why does the water flow (tears) from your eyes?..

If you have a dream and work towards achieving it every day you will accomplish it one day ..

Mind, Oh Mind you transform (change your thoughts)..

Whether it is rain or snow, you combat..

Every flower says, life means a battle ground, where one struggles...

Let us read the ghazal of life..

Think up to the sky..

Let us breathe "effort" as our breath..

Have hundred thousand dreams in eyes..

Goals to achieve in heart..

There is no one to compete..

Fight with determination..

Oh man!!, tear up your heart and put it as a seed..

It will grow as a tree..

Insults and utter defeats all are like manure.

Is there a history without defeat?

Oh my friend!!, why are you sad?'

If you have a decision (determination) and if it is clear, then the sky will be in yours.

Mind, Oh Mind you transform (change your thoughts)..

Whether it is rain or snow, you combat..

Every flower says, life means a battle ground, where one struggles...

Every morning says that, day is certain after night..

We need to have faith in our life....

We will of course, achieve the goal one day..

Mind, Oh Mind you transform (change your thoughts)..

Whether it is rain or snow, you combat..
