I heard this song yesterday in the movie Kahaani. This song is sung by Amitabh Bachchan. Since the time, I have heard this song, I have fallen in love with it. The original song is written by Rabindranath Tagore during the Indian Independence struggle. I found the original translated lyrics from Wikipedia and have pasted them below.
- If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou unlucky one,
open thy mind and speak out alone.
- If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou unlucky one,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.
- If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou unlucky one,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.
