hey jagat pita parmatma karo nirmal meri aatma
dukh haro dayalu ab sukh do sab avgun mere
karo shama parbhu karo shama parbhu karo shama
hey jagat pita parmatma
tumko to karodo sal huye batlao gagan gambhir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir
tumko to karodo sal huye batlao gagan ghambir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir

milte hai kisi ko bin mange hi moti
koi mange lekin bikh nasib na hoti
kya soch ke hai malik ne rachi ye do rangin tasvir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir
tumko to karodo sal huye batlao gagan gambhir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir

kuch kismat wale sukh se amrit pite
kuch dil par rakh pathar jivan jite
kahi man panchi aakash ude kahi paanv padhi zanjir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir
tumko to karodo sal huye batlao gagan gambhir
is pyari pyari duniya me kyu alag alag taqdir
kyu alag alag taqdir kyu alag alag taqdir
kyu alag alag taqdir

O Father of the World, cleanse my soul,
By mercy, banish all sorrow, bestow joy,
Forgive my faults, all transgressions,
Forgive, Lord, forgive, again forgive.
O Father of the World.

Ages you've witnessed, vast heavens, tell,
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse dwell?
Ages you've witnessed, vast heavens, tell,
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse dwell?

Some find pearls unasked, a generous tide,
Others plead, yet fate's meager handout denied.
What thoughts inspired this two-toned design?
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse entwine?
Ages you've witnessed, vast heavens, tell,
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse dwell?

Some, fortune's children, sip nectar's sweet grace,
Others with stones in their hearts, life they embrace.
Where some souls soar, free as birds in the blue,
Others are bound, with shackles of woe to accrue.
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse dwell?
Ages you've witnessed, vast heavens, tell,
Why in this cherished world, fates so diverse dwell?
Why diverse fates? Why so varied their plight?
Why diverse fates? Lost in eternal night?
