ye duniya tere dil ki tasvir baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki tasvir baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki

sitam karne wale sitam na phalega
sitam karne wale sitam na phalega
jo tu dil jalaye tera dil jalega
na tutegi ye gum ki janjir baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki tasvir baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki

ye palko pe aasu ye hotho pe aahe
ye palko pe aasu ye hotho pe aahe
khud apne kiye ki mili hai sadaye
lage hai kaleje pe do teer baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki tasvir baba
tere hath hai teri takdir baba
ye duniya tere dil ki

This world, a canvas of your heart, Father,
Your hand alone shapes destiny, Father.
This world, a canvas of your heart.

The oppressor's cruelty will not flourish,
The oppressor's cruelty will not flourish.
If you ignite a heart, your own will burn.
This chain of sorrow will not break, Father,
Your hand alone shapes destiny, Father.
This world, a canvas of your heart, Father,
Your hand alone shapes destiny, Father.
This world, a canvas of your heart.

These tears upon the lashes, sighs on lips,
These tears upon the lashes, sighs on lips,
Echoes of actions, self-inflicted, rise.
Two arrows pierce the soul, Father,
Your hand alone shapes destiny, Father.
This world, a canvas of your heart, Father,
Your hand alone shapes destiny, Father.
This world, a canvas of your heart.
