potentiaal                                      potential
te behaal                                       can be obtained

jy moet leer                                   you must learn
jy moet experimenteer                 you must experiment  
om die ontdekkings te maak      to make the discoveries

en as jy onseker is                        and if you are unsure
om watter direksie te vat             about which direction to take
moet jy net probeer                      you must just persist
todat                                              until
jy jou rigting kry                          you find your direction

Har haal mein hum behaal rahe  
Gham-e-jaan se har dam ndhaal rahe  

Tumhari chahat ki rahguzar mein  
Kabhi khaak, kabhi paimaal rahe  

Na khwab bane, na taabeer mili  
Bas azaab hi azaab ke hamaal rahe  

Dhoop sehte guzargayi sadiyaan  
Shab-e-hijr ke hi sawaal rahe  

Mohabbat ke saahil bhi door the  
Aur dil ke toofaan be-zawaal rahe  

Shajar-e-umeed ka saaya na mila  
Hum faseel-e-gham ke kamaal rahe  

Jo charaagh jalaye the aarzu ke  
Wahi aandhiyon mein bemisaal rahe  

Rah-e-wafa mein the zakhm beshumaar  
Phir bhi hanste rahe, lajawab rahe  

Humne socha tha dil ka dard sunayein  
Magar lab pe qufl, aur sawaal rahe  

Har shaam ne tanhai ka zehar diya  
Har raat ke geet bhi malaal rahe
