niraas me aas prabhu meraa
duhkh ke din se kyo dar jaa_un
hansate hansate kyo na bitaa_un
kab tak meri duniyaa ko
barabaad karegaa adheraa
niraas me aas prabhu meraa

kabhi to aansu hansi banege
kabhi to apane din bhi phirege
kabhi to meri dard bhari
raato kaa hogaa saveraa
niraas me aas prabhu meraa

ye voh aas hai jo nahi tute
is kaa sahaaraa kabhi na chhute
dubanevaalo kaa bhi is ne
paar kiyaa hai bedaa
niraas me aas prabhu meraa

In the void, my hope, O Lord, resides.
Why should I fear sorrow's shadowed tides?
Why not embrace each moment, laugh and play?
How long will darkness claim my world's array?
In the void, my hope, O Lord, resides.

Tears will transform to laughter's bright cascade,
My days of old will surely be remade.
My nights of pain, a dawn will soon embrace,
In the void, my hope, O Lord, resides.

This hope, a fortress, cannot be undone,
Its steadfast solace, never shall be shunned.
For those adrift, it guides them from the deep,
And ferries souls across the waters sleep.
In the void, my hope, O Lord, resides.
