(Purhythm!)

{Verse One}
Tell me…
Why do I feel like,
My life is a wreck?
Why does it feel like,
I’m under attack?
Why does it feel like,
When I try to;
Take a step forward,
I move two steps back?
Why do I feel,
Fate’s not on my side?
Am I supposed to do,
Nothing in life?
How can I open,
My arms up wide;
When I’m always met,
With a backstabbing knife?
My work should be saving me—
Instead, it’s enslaving me;
My friends should support me—
Instead, they abhor me.
My house should be giving me peace—
Instead, I just can’t wait to leave;
And my dreams should give me space to breathe—
Instead, they’re all haunting me!
This is the end,
Of my rope;
I’ve lost all my purpose,
I’ve lost all my hope.
I’ve lost all my strength,
I’ve lost all respect;
And all that I’ve gained,
Are a million regrets.
The Moon reminds me,
Of how I didn’t act;
The Sun reminds me,
Of the power I lack.
The only reason,
I wake up every day;
Is ‘cause if I didn’t,
My house would be shamed!
I’ve tried every path,
Knocked on every door;
No one could save me,
I fear there’s no cure.
Now, I turn to you,
With my question in hand;
Can you answer it,
Or is it too grand?
Some people say,
"Fate is written in stone";
Others say,
"You make your fate on your own".
Honestly,
I don’t know what to believe;
To bolo, naa:
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?

[Translation: “So tell me, now:
What is my destiny?”]

{Hook}
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
Tell me, what’s my destiny?
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
It’s all about what you believe! (Yup!)
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
Tell me, what’s my destiny?
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
It’s all about what you believe! (Uh-huh!)

{Interlude (Spoken)}
Hey…
I know it gets tough for us sometimes.
We face obstacle after obstacle after obstacle,
And it feels like there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
But let's pick ourselves up!
Let's dust ourselves off!
Because no matter how long and dark the night,
The Sun will rise!
And I get it: it’s hard to accept,
But let me tell you what I’ve been going through…

{Verse Two}
Kyā hai yeh merā naseeb? (Huh?)
I’m stuck in a season,
That makes it so hard to believe;
I’ve gone through a torrent,
Of pain recently;
And only God knows,
When my struggle will cease.
Still, I am not grieved… (Nope!)
Even if there is,
No restoration to be seen;
And I could lose everything,
Dearest to me;
Though, in a way,
That’s how my whole life has been! (For real!)
Listen:
I have lived,
With little probability;
Go do the math:
There is no ability…
None of us should’ve survived,
But now we’re here—
How can you say we haven’t thrived?! (Ha-ha!)
There’s only one thing,
That stands in between;
Probability,
And reality: (What?)
It’s destiny, fate,
Fortune, naseeb:
I’m standing here,
‘Cause this was all preconceived!
Yes, I mean all of it,
Pleasure and pain;
All of it’s planned out,
Inside of His brain.
Without them,
My life would not be the same;
Without them,
There’s so much I wouldn’t gain.
So I continue,
To train; (Grrr!)
Life is a school,
These problems are games…
Life doesn’t teach you the lesson,
Then give you the test;
It tests you to teach you,
Because that is best! (Ooh-hoo-hoo!)
Trust me when I say,
“It’s all for a reason;”
God has a plan,
If you’re down to receive it… (Yessir!)
Never to harm you,
But give you a hope;
Your life is no accident,
Not a cruel joke! (No way!)
If you’re in pain,
Don’t suffer in vain;
Renounce and you’ll gain,
And your joy will not wane…
And you’ll see that in all things,
For “better” or “worse”;
Your naseeb is blessed—
Why call yourself cursed? (‘Cause you’re not!)

{Hook}
[Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
Tell me, what’s my destiny? (Yuh, yuh!)
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
It’s all about what you believe! (Uh-huh!)] ×3
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
Tell me, what’s my destiny? (Yuh, yuh!)
Kyaa hai yeh meraa naseeb?
It’s all about what you believe! (Ooh-hoo-hoo!)
