haule haule dhime dhime
mitti bole, maati bole
haule haule dhime dhime
mitti bole maati bole

git bone the tumhe
git bone the tumhe
bo diye kyu laal sholay
haule-haule dhime dhime
mitti bole, maati bole

ghar ke aangan me kaha se
yeh lapat si aa gayi
khidkiyo ki thi wo raunak
dhup ab kaha gayi
ho kyo hawa hai ruthi ruthi
kyo hawa hai ruthi ruthi
shaakh gumsum kyu na dole
haule haule dhime dhime
mitti bole maati bole

garam hai maatha sagar ka
tabiyat dhili dhili
dekho chalakti aasmaan ki aankh nili nili
kisne paani ko jalaya
kisne paani ko jalaya
kaun vish jhilo me ghole
haule haule dhime dhime
mitti bole mati bole

geet bone the tumhe
geet bone the tumhe
bo diye kyu laal sholay
haule-haule dhime dhime
mitti bole mati bole

Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.
Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.

Songs you were meant to sow,
Songs you were meant to sow,
Why crimson flames instead?
Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.

Where in the courtyard,
Did this burning blaze ignite?
The windows, once alight,
Where has the sunlight fled?
Why is the wind so angered?
Why is the wind so angered?
Why do the branches stand still?
Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.

The ocean's brow is fevered,
Its health, diminished.
See, the sky's blue eyes overflow,
A tear, a spill.
Who has set the water aflame?
Who has set the water aflame?
Who poisons the lakes' deep bowl?
Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.

Songs you were meant to sow,
Songs you were meant to sow,
Why crimson flames instead?
Slowly, softly, a whisper,
Earth speaks, soil murmurs.
