1. What Shall We Do Now (Hindustani)
Ab tum hi kaho kya karna hai
Ab kaise paar utarna hai
Ab kaise paar utarna hai
(Now tell me what we should do
How do we get across)
Jab dukh ki nadiya mein hamne
Jeevan ki nau daali thi
Tha kitna kas bal baahon mein
Lahu mein kitni laali thi
Yun lagta tha do haath lage
Aur nau pooram paar lagi
(When we launched this boat of Life
Into the river of sorrow
We thought we had strong arms
That our blood was so red
It felt as if all we needed was two arms
To get across)
Aisa na hua har dhaare mein
Kuch andekhi majhdharein thi
Kuch maanjhi the anjaan bahut
Kuch andekhi patwaarein thi
(That is not what unfolded
Unseen boulders struck midstream
Cross currents caught us in between
Then some of our boatmen
Suddenly turned into strangers)
Ab jo bhi chaho chhaan karo
Ab jitna chahe dosh dharo
Nadiya bhi wahi hai nau wahi
Ab tum hi kaho kya karna hai
(Have your say
Criticize, interrogate
Find excuses to explain
The river has not changed with the passing of time
And the boat, the boatmen remain the same
Now tell me what we should do
How do we get across
How do we cross over now)
