Chorus:
मेरे जीवन का मकसद तू है
मेरे जीने का कारण तू है (2)
मैं जीयूँ या मरूँ, वो तेरे लिये है
तू मेरा प्रभु
Verse 1:
मुझ पर हुई है कृपा, बेकार ना जाने दूँ
जिसने मुझे है चुना, उसकी और में बढूं (2)
देखूँ तेरी सलीब पर, खिंचा मैं जाऊँ (2)
मैं जीयूँ या मरूँ, वो तेरे लिये है…
मेरे जीवन का मकसद तू है…
Verse 2:
पिछला सब भूलकर, मैं आगे दौड़ा चलूँ
जो मेरे लिये धन था, उसको मैं त्याग दूँ (2)

मैं जीयूँ या मरूँ, वो तेरे लिये है…
मेरे जीवन का मकसद तू है…
