A soulful prayer from the Hindi film Guddi (1971), sung by Vani Jairam.
hum ko man ki shakti dena, man vijay kare
dusron ki jay se pehle, khud ko jay kare
bhedbhaav apane dil se saaf kar sake
doston se bhool ho to maaf kar sake
jhoot se bache rahe, sach ka dam bhare
dusron ki jay se pehle, khud ko jay kare
mushkile pade to hum pe itna karm kar
saath de to dharm ka, chale to dharm kar
khud pe hausla rahe, badi se naa dare
dusron ki jay se pehle, khud ko jay kare
Give us strength of mind, that the mind may be victorious
That before others’ victory, the self is victorious
May we be able to cleanse our hearts of divisions and discord
May we be able to forgive friends who errr
May we be safe from falsehood and may truth be our very breath
Before others’ victory, may the self be victorious
If difficulties befall us, may we strive on
May we abide only by Truth, and walk with Truth
May we have self-conviction, and not fear adversity
Before others’ victory, may the self be victorious
