Koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti...
Lehron se dar kar nauka paar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti.
Nanhi cheenti jab daana le kar chalti hai,
chadhti diwaaron par sau baar phisalti hai.
Mann kaa vishwaas saahas bharta hai,
chadh kar girnaa gir kar chadhnaa naa akhartaa hai.
Aakhir uski mehnat bekaar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti.
Dubkiyaan sindhu main gotakhor lagaata hai,
jaa jaa kar khaali haath laut ke aata hai.
Milte nahin sahaj hi moti gehre paani main,
muthi uski khaali har baar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti.
Asafalta ek chunauti hai ise swikaar karo,
kyaa kami reh gayi hai dekho aur sudhaar karo.
Jab tak naa safal ho neend chain ko tyaago tum,
sangharsh ka maidaan chod kar mat bhaago tum.
Kuch kiye binaa hi jai jai kaar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahin joti.
(English translation)
Failure can never come to those who keep trying.
A boat cannot cross the river by being afraid of the waves,
failure can never come to those who keep trying.
When a small ant walks carrying a heavy grain,
it slips hundreds of time while climbing up the walls.
As the self-belief in it's mind gives it courage,
climbing while falling, falling while climbing doesn't bother it.
Finally, it's hard work doesn't go to waste,
failure can never come to those who keep trying.
A diver dives into the river,
going multiple times he returns empty handed.
Finding a pearl is not so easy in such deep waters,
not every time his hands are empty,
failure can never come to those who keep trying.
Failure is a challenge please accept it,
what were the faults look at them and try to rectify,
until you have achieved success sacrifice your sleep and mental peace,
from the fields of struggle don't run away,
praise and fame cannot be achieved without doing anything,
failure can never come to those who keep trying.
