hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna
or kisi se aas kare kya or kisi se aas kare kya
jag jutha nata he data jag jutha nata he daata
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna

tum na hote jag na hota bikhre moti kon pirota
jiw bechara tum bin jaise jiw bechara tum bin jaise
baalak bin mata he data baalak bin mata he daata
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna

suraj me ye chamak na hoti chand me shital megh na ghirte
jal na barasta megh na ghirte jal na barasta
beej na ug pata he data beej na ug pata he daata
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna

tum parbhu ek dasan ki sunlo choti si ek vinti
siwa tumhare kisi ke aage siwa tumhare kisi ke aage
jhuke na ye matha he data jhuke na ye matha he daata
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna
hampe daya rakhna he data hampe daya rakhna

Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us,
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.
What hope can we hold, what solace seek,
When the world's bond is but a fleeting lie,
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.

If you were not, the world would not be,
Who would string these scattered pearls of light?
A soul adrift, without you, a child bereft,
Like a babe without its mother’s love,
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.

The sun would lack its radiant gleam,
The moon its cool and gentle light,
No rain would fall, no clouds would gather,
No seed would sprout from the earth's dark heart,
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.

Lord, hear a servant’s humble plea,
A simple prayer from a heart so small,
Before none but you shall this brow bow,
Before none but you, my only goal,
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.
Have mercy, O Giver, have mercy on us.
