sansaar hai ik nadiyaa, dukh-sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa, dukh-sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa

chalte hue jivan ki, raftaar me ik lay hai
chalte hue jivan ki, raftaar me ik lay hai
ik raag me ik sur me, sansaar ki har shay hai
sansaar ki har shay hai
ik taar pe gardish me, ye chaand sitaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai

sansaar hai ik nadiyaa, dukh-sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa
dharti pe ambar ki aankho se barasti hai
dharti pe ambar ki aankho se barasti hai
ik roz yahi bunde, phir baadal banti hai
phir baadal banti hai
is banne bigadne ke dastur me saare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa
koi bhi kisi ke liye, apnaa na parayaa hai
koi bhi kisi ke liye, apnaa na parayaa hai
rishto ke ujaale me, har aadami saayaa hai
har aadami saayaa hai
kudrat ke bhi dekho to, ye khel nyaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa

hai kaun vo duniyaa me, na paap kiyaa jisne
hai kaun vo duniyaa me, na paap kiyaa jisne
bin uljhe kaanto se, hai phul chune kisne
hai phul chune kisne
be-daag nahi koi, yahaan paapi saare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa, dukh-sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaae, ham bahte dhaare hai
ham bahte dhaare hai, ham bahte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ik nadiyaa, dukh-sukh do kinaare hai

The world, a river, grief and joy its shores,
Where do we drift, these currents that explore?
The world, a river.

Life's rhythm flows, a tempo it sustains,
In every motion, melody remains,
In one accord, the cosmos interweaves,
Stars and the moon, in endless dance, it grieves,
Where do we drift, these currents that explore?

The world, a river, grief and joy its shores,
Where do we drift, these currents that explore?
The world, a river.

From heaven's eyes, the rain descends on earth,
From sky's embrace, a silent, tender birth,
These drops transform, to clouds that fill the air,
In cycles born, and fading everywhere,
Where do we drift, these currents that explore?

The world, a river.
None truly "mine", nor "other's" claim we see,
In kinship's light, each soul a shadow free,
Nature's own game, a spectacle so grand,
Where do we drift, these currents through the land?
The world, a river.

Who walks this earth, untouched by sin's dark stain?
Who gathers blooms, unscathed by thorns and pain?
No soul unblemished, sinners all reside,
Where do we drift, these currents, deep inside?
The world, a river, grief and joy its shores,
Where do we drift, these currents that explore?
These currents that explore, these currents that explore.
The world, a river, grief and joy its shores.
