ek veena hai sansar ek veena hai sansar
ke jisme sukh dukh ki jhankar
ek veena hai sansar ek veena hai sansar
hari om hari om hari om hari om

alag alag hai fir bhi ek hai spt suro ke taar
alag alag hai fir bhi ek hai spt suro ke taar
taar ye komal aur kathor jagat me gunj ghanghor
punj hai inki agam apar
ek veena hai sansar ek veena hai sansar
ke jisme sukh dukh ki jhankar
hari om hari om hari om hari om

khase koi sukh ke taro par roye koi dukh ke taro par
khase koi sukh ke taro par roye koi dukh ke taro par
dono taar milaye koi gyani soch vichar
ek veena hai sansar

The world, a veena, a cosmic string,
Where joy and sorrow forever sing.
The world, a veena, a cosmic string,
Hari Om, Hari Om, life taking wing.

Though separate, seven notes entwine,
Each a chord in the grand design.
Tender threads and harsh, a sound profound,
Echoing through the world around.
A boundless cluster, deep and vast,
The world, a veena, built to last.
Where joy and sorrow forever sing,
Hari Om, Hari Om, life taking wing.

Some pluck the strings of joy's bright gleam,
Others weep upon sorrow's stream.
But the wise, with thought and care,
Blend the notes, beyond compare.
The world, a veena, forever near.
