Lyrics
Chorus
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Jo soyega, bas wahi khoyega
Whoever sleeps — that one alone will lose
Jo soyega, bas wahi khoyega
Whoever sleeps — that one alone will lose
Ye baat usko pata nahin hai
This truth they do not yet know
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Verse 1
Lagenge phal jab kisi vriksh mein
When fruit comes on a tree
Wo ped jhuk jayenge swatah hi
Those trees bend of their own accord
Akad tane ki bata rahi hai
The stiffness of the trunk is telling you
Akad tane ki bata rahi hai
The stiffness of the trunk is telling you
Abhi phal ismein laga nahin hai
Fruit has not yet grown on it
Chorus
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Verse 2
Jo khandani rais hote
Those who are noble by lineage
Mizaaj rakhte hain narm apna
Keep a soft and gentle temperament
Tumhara lehja bata raha hai
Your tone of voice is telling
Tumhara lehja bata raha hai
Your tone of voice is telling
Tumhari daulat nai-nai hai
Your wealth is new — freshly come
Chorus
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Verse 3
Zara si kudrat ne kya nawaza
Nature has barely favoured you a little
Ki aa ke baithe ho pehli saf mein
And already you sit in the front row
Abhi se udne lage hawa mein
Already you have begun to fly in the air
Abhi se udne lage hawa mein
Already you have begun to fly in the air
Abhi ye shohrat nai-nai hai
This fame of yours is still brand new
Chorus
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Jo soyega, bas wahi khoyega
Whoever sleeps — that one alone will lose
Jo soyega, bas wahi khoyega
Whoever sleeps — that one alone will lose
Ye baat usko pata nahin hai
This truth they do not yet know
Dagar hai mushkil, kathin safar hai
The path is difficult, the journey is hard
Magar musafir jaga nahin hai
But the traveller is still not awake
Meaning
Nirgun-style bhajan of warning and humility (Roshan Ji). The path is hard and the journey difficult, yet the traveller stays asleep — whoever sleeps loses. Newly gained wealth and fame make people proud; trees bend when fruit comes, and true nobility keeps a soft temperament. Stay awake on the spiritual path.
