Lyrics:
Gar safar shuru hai to sangh hain raastey,
Kadam kadam pe jung si, yeh zindagi mile,
Ho mushkilon ke daur mein sabkuch farebi,
Safar pe koi tera na ho, tu khud ko thaam le,
Teri sunega, tu jo kahegaa, aasmaan khulegaa,
Tera banegaa, lamhaa rukega, jab chahega tu jahaan,

Jo hoga dekh lenge,
Haan ye hausle chalenge,
Hum ummedien jod lenge,
Naa rukengey na thamenge,
Jee chahega jo karenge
Hum jahan mein rang phir naya bharenge,
Jee bhar ke jee toh lein isse jyaadaa maange aur kya

Har muqaam haasil hota hai usi ko,
Jo sifar ko saikadon mein gholataa chale,
Chaand kaarkhaana toh suraj pe ghar ho,
Jo waqt ko sahee sahee se tolaataa chaley,
Kya aadhaa aadhaa, pooraa iraada, jeet tay karegaa,
Jyaade se jyaada, ho khud se waada, hal hoga har imtahaan,

Jo hoga dekh lenge,
Haan ye hausley chalenge,
Hum ummedien jod lenge,
Naa rukengey na thamenge,
Jee chahega jo karenge
Hum jahan mein rang phir naya bharenge,
Jee bhar ke jee toh lein isse jyaadaa maange aur kya

Haar ka samandar khangaalein,
Kashtiyaan kinaare lagaalein,
Gum udaasiyaan gale lagaake,
Muskuraahaton ke ghar chalein,
Dhoop leke khilo,
Andhiyaara dhodein,
Kaske baandh ke, ye paigaa taang de, chitra kyun bane, chitrakaar hai tu,

Har ek saans yudh mein ladtaa chale tu,
To choomkar tere kadam tujhe, ye zindagi milegi,
Khidmat mein teri, lagi rahegi, kaaynaat saari,
Tere bina, adhoori rahegi, har nayi puraani daastaan,

Jo hoga dekh lenge,
Haan ye hausley challenge,
Hum ummedien jod lenge,
Naa rukengey na thamenge,
Jee chahega jo karenge
Hum jahan mein rang phir naya bharenge,
Jee bhar ke jee toh lein isse jyaadaa maange aur kya

Jo hoga dekh lenge,
Haan ye hausley challenge,
Hum ummedien jod lenge,
Naa rukengey na thamenge,
Jee chahega jo karenge
Hum jahan mein rang phir naya bharenge,
Jee bhar ke jee toh lein isse jyaadaa maange aur kya

Meaning:

The song celebrates the undying positivity in the human race, and its capacity to bring out the best in the worst of times. The poet projects the fighting spirit in us that has a way to find many possibilities, when the roads are blocked.

Life is a tough journey, with its share of ups and downs, but in the end the true winners are those who never let failures bog them down. Winners never see a glass half empty… but half full instead, even when faced with the toughest of challenges.

If we learn from our mistakes and use the lessons to move forward with hope, especially when the chips are down… we could not just control the result, but also our destiny. We should understand and accept “one truth”… that it’s only after one goes through the grind, can one really enjoy the true taste of life and then, one can relish its various flavors.
