kabhi kisi ke rahte nahi hai
sab din ek saman
baba samay bada balwan
kabhi kisi ke rahte nahi hai
sab din ek saman
baba samay bada balwan
yahi baat kahti ramayan
kahte ved puran
baba samay bada balwan
samay bada balwan re
samay bada balwan

samay hi is duniya me baante
kisi ko phul kisi ko kaante
samay hi is duniya me baante
kisi ko phul kisi ko kaante
hey maati ke putle manav
baat ko tu pahchan
baba samay bada balwan
samay bada balwan re
samay bada balwan

samay ki dekhi nila nyari
wo raja ko kare bhikhari
samay ki dekhi nila nyari
wo raja ko kare bhikhari
waqt ke aage sab jhukte hai
chhote ho ya mahan
baba samay bada balwan
kabhi kisi ke rahte nahi hai
sab din ek saman
baba samay bada balwan

No one's fortune holds forever,
Days like these, they never stay.
Time, the father, wields its power,
No one's fortune holds forever.
Days like these, they never stay.
Time, the father, wields its power.
The Ramayana whispers it,
The Vedas and Puranas say:
Time, the father, wields its power.
Time's a potent, mighty force,
Time's a potent, mighty force.

In this world, time bestows its gifts,
Some with roses, some with thorns.
In this world, time bestows its gifts,
Some with roses, some with thorns.
O, human form of clay and dust,
Know the truth, understand the call:
Time, the father, wields its power.
Time's a potent, mighty force,
Time's a potent, mighty force.

Time's a dance, a shifting scene,
Kings to paupers it can make.
Time's a dance, a shifting scene,
Kings to paupers it can make.
Before time's grace, all bow their heads,
The small and great, alike they bend.
Time, the father, wields its power.
No one's fortune holds forever,
Days like these, they never stay.
Time, the father, wields its power.
