hum ko man ki shakti dena (hindi prayer)

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
