Ithni sakthi hamen dena datha

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Ithni Sakthi hamen dena datha,
Man ka viswas kamjor ho na,
Hum chale nek rasthe par, humse,
Bhool kar bhi koi bhool ho na.

Oh, creator, give me that much strength so that,
The power of the mind never gets reduced,
I walk on the honest path, and even by mistake,
I should not make any mistakes.

Dhoor ajnan ke hon Andhere,
Thu humen jnan ki Roshni dey,
Har burayi say bachke rahen hum,
Jithni bhi dhe bali jindaki dhe,
Vair ho na kisika kisise,
Bhavna man mein badle ki ho na,
Hum chale nek rasthe par, humse,
Bhool kar bhi koi bhool ho na.

Let my darkness of ignorance go far away,
And You give me the light of wisdom,
Let me be free from every bad qualities,
And whatever you give, give me honest life,
Let me not have enmity towards any one,
Let my mind not have any feeling of revenge,
Let me walk on the honest path and even by mistake,
I should not commit any mistake.

Hum na soche humem kya mila hai,
Hum ye soche kiya kya hai Arpan,
Phool kushiyon se bante sabhi ko,
Sab ka jeevan hi ban jaye Madhuvan,
Apni karuna ka jal bahaa ke,
Kar dhe paavan har yek man ka kona,
Hum chale nek rasthe par, humse,
Bhool kar bhi koi bhool ho na.

We should not think about what we got,
But consider what sacrifices we have done,
Let's share the flowers with joy with everyone,
And that would make everyone’s life into a forest of honey,
Please pour your water of mercy on us,
And make pure the corners of the mind of everyone,
Let me walk on the honest path, and even by mistake,
I should not make any mistakes.

Har tharaph julum ke bebasi hai,
Sahma sahma saa har aadhmi hai,
Paap ka bhoj badthaa hi jaaye,
Jaane kaise yah darthi thami hai,
Bhoj Mamatha ka thu yah uta le,
Theri rachanaa ka bhi anth ho na,
Hum chale nek rasthe par, humse,
Bhool kar bhi koi bhool ho na.

On all sides, there is helplessness due to crime,
Every person looks like he is scared,
The burden of sins keeps on increasing,
We do not know how this earth is going to tolerate it,
Oh God, take away from us the burden of egotism,
And it is not true that even your creation has an end,
I walk on the honest path, and even by mistake,
I should not make any mistakes.

Ithni Sakthi hamen dena datha,
Man ka viswas kamjor ho na,
Hum chale nek rasthe par, humse,
Bhool kar bhi koi bhool ho na.

Oh, creator give me that much strength so that,
The power of the mind never gets reduced,
I walk on the honest path, and even by mistake,
I should not make any mistakes.
