dhire se bach niklna
beta sambhal ke chalna

pawder hi pawder hain, dhokha naa khana

Son, tread with care, son, tread with care,
Do not leap and bound, the path is slick and bare.
Escape with gentle grace,
Son, tread with care.

If you must walk the earth, it's fate, my brother,
A wheel of iron treads upon your heart, no other.
Upon your chest it grinds,
Your very soul must be resigned.

Son, tread with care, son, tread with care,
Do not leap and bound, the path is slick and bare.
Escape with gentle grace,
Son, tread with care.

These faces painted false, do not be swayed,
Powdered lies abound, be not betrayed.
Turn not your heart from truth,
By their deceit's cold tooth.

Son, tread with care, son, tread with care,
Do not leap and bound, the path is slick and bare.
Escape with gentle grace,
Son, tread with care.

Do not be ensnared by silver cars so bright,
In greed's embrace, surrender not your light.
You'll be left to writhe,
Lost in shadows, missing life.

Son, tread with care, son, tread with care,
Do not leap and bound, the path is slick and bare.
Escape with gentle grace,
Son, tread with care, son, tread with care.
