Arjuna's Dilemma (Arjuna Vishada Yoga) Lyrics

In the heart of the battlefield, where shadows loom,

Arjuna stands, faced with an uncertain doom,

Warriors gather, swords clash, and arrows fly,

Yet his heart trembles, and his spirit asks why.

Gaze across the field, see the faces known,

Friends and kin on both sides have grown,

Tears well up, confusion reigns supreme,

In this holy ground, lost in a fearful dream.

Oh Krishna," he pleads, "guide my hand and heart,

In this sea of chaos, where do I start?"

The charioteer listens, wisdom in his eyes,

Preparing to reveal the truth that underlies.

Stand firm, Arjuna, let your doubts dissolve,

In the path of duty, your purpose will evolve,

Through the smoke of battle, see the light,

In the midst of darkness, find your inner might.

He sees elders, teachers, brothers, and sons,

Bound by fate, their destiny begun,

The weight of sorrow, a heavy crown,

In this righteous war, he feels he might drown.

Voices echo, haunting whispers of the past,

In this sacred ground, will peace ever last?

Arjuna's heart, a storm of fear and pain,

Seeking solace in the pouring rain.

In the silent prayer, he finds his voice,

In the charioteer's words, he makes his choice,

To rise above the turmoil, embrace his role,

With Krishna's wisdom, he finds his soul.

Stand firm, Arjuna, let your doubts dissolve,

In the path of duty, your purpose will evolve,

Through the smoke of battle, see the light,

In the midst of darkness, find your inner might.
