hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai
ye parbhu ki adbhut
parbhu ki adbhut jagir dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai

hame hanste mukhde chaar mile
hame hanste mukhde chaar mile
dukhiyare chehre hajar mile
yaha sukh se so guni peer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai
hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai

do ek sukhi yaha lakho me
do ek sukhi yaha lakho me
aanshu hai karodo aankho ke
hamne gin gin har taqdeer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai
hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai

kuch bol parbhu ye kya maya
kuch bol parbhu ye kya maya
tera khel samajh me na aaya
hamne dekhe mahal ve kutir dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai
hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi
ek hansta hai das rote hai

I gazed upon a world's strange form,
One laughs, while ten are lost in storm.
This God's domain, a wondrous show,
One laughs, while ten with sorrows flow.

Four faces bloom in laughter's grace,
Four faces, a smiling space,
A thousand mourns, a tear-stained race,
And joy, surpassed by endless pain,
One laughs, while ten with sorrows flow.
I gazed upon a world's strange form,
One laughs, while ten are lost in storm.

A few find ease amidst the throng,
A few, while millions weep along,
A sea of tears, a countless tide,
Each fate, by us, has been espied.
One laughs, while ten with sorrows flow.
I gazed upon a world's strange form,
One laughs, while ten are lost in storm.

Oh, Lord, this play, this mystery,
Oh, Lord, this strange decree,
Your game, a riddle, veiled from sight,
We see grand halls and huts in plight.
One laughs, while ten with sorrows flow.
I gazed upon a world's strange form,
One laughs, while ten are lost in storm.
