Never Lose Hope

When there is nothing but deprivation,
When the path ahead has lost its direction,
When no work seems to be getting done,
And failure stands before you—
Never lose hope.

When there are countless burdens to bear,
When duties must still be fulfilled,
When hard work brings no reward,
And no positive solution appears—
Never lose hope.

When troubles keep increasing,
When people continue to mock you,
When helplessness fills your heart with sorrow,
And worry makes you bow your head—
Never lose hope.

When you must walk along
A dark and thorn-filled path,
Without a ray of light,
Through storms and hurricanes,
Trying to escape landslides—
Never lose hope.

Whether you fail an examination,
Or lose your job,
Whether your promotion is put on hold,
Or an accident befalls you—
Never lose hope.

Even if the sky breaks apart
And the earth itself cracks open,
Even if the apocalypse arrives,
And the ocean swallows the land,
Even if civilization is destroyed—
Never lose hope.

Destruction is followed by reconstruction,
And death is followed by rebirth.
Hold firmly to the hand of patience
And we can keep moving forward.
Never lose hope.

Keep hope alive,
Keep the lamp of faith burning.
Face every adverse situation
And hold on to the courage to win.
Never lose hope.

Never accept defeat,
Hold firmly to the flag of victory.
With steady and determined steps,
Keep moving forward continuously.
Never lose hope.
