Kya kare Bairagi
Dur hai uska gaon
Aur jeevan ke is daldal mein
Phansa hai uska paon

Bhor hua to gyan na tha
Dur kaise woh aya
Youvan ki charti dhoop mein
Ghere thi usko maya

Dhalti suraj ki tapish mein
Smaran use phir aya
Dur us gaon ka
Aur woh peepul ki chaya

Bichre sathi sangi
Bichri us se preet
Dhaltei jeevan ke path par
Bichra uska man meet

Ab dur ka wohi gaon
Aye usse smaran
Suryast ke bhay se
Vichalit uska man

Par kare kya Bairagi
Dur bahut woh gaon
Ab bhi jeevan ke daldal mein
Phansa hai uska paon

 

What can Bairagi do
His village is so far
Both feet stuck in quicksand
On his progress a bar

At dawn he didn't know
How he got this far
When the sun of youth was rising
Desires his reasons did mar

In the rays of the setting sun
He remembers his distant home
That village far away
And the tree with a shady dome

All his friends moved away
As did all those he loved
In the twilight on the way
He lost the woman he loved

Now that distant village
Dwells upon his mind
Also the fear of sunset
Agitates his mind

But what can Bairagi do
His village is reall far
Both feet stuck in quicksand
On his progress a bar
