English Translation
1.Fear I have not , fear I have not,
Even if all the world opposes me,
Fear I have not, fear I have not,
Even if they judge me as the worst,
And tell things bad about me,
Fear I have not, Fear I have not,
Even if I am fated to live by begging,
Fear I have not, Fear I have not,
Even if I loose all my wealth due to desires,
Fear I have not, fear I have not.
2.Even if well endowed ladies with bra,
Throw their eyes at me,
Fear I have not, fear I have not,
Even if dear friends mine,
Make me eat poisonous things,
Fear I have not, fear I have not,
Even if hoards of army,
With green uniform comes,
Fear I have not, fear I have not,
Even if the entire sky breaks,
And falls on my head,
Fears I have not, fear I have not.
