Kinare to Khali pade nani nani pagli
Only footprints on the shore and

Nana eva sapna ni ret vali dhagali,
Only Castles made of sand

Tofano tarap mare
But when the thunderstorms pounce and

Halesao hanfi jay
The paddles start to pant

Toy jeni himmat
Even then, one who stays

ane ham nahi hanfe
the course with courage and will

Evo kharvo khalasi
O Find me such a zealous seafarer.

Evo hadno pravasi
O Find me such a zealous seafarer.
