A PRADEEP BHAJAN (ā ī ū ṛ `)
0. Hamne jaga ki ajaba tasvīra dekhī; ika (ek) ha`satā (hanstā) hai,
dasa rote hai`(hain).
Yeh Prabhu ki adbhuta, Prabhu ki adbhuta jāgira dekhī; ika ha`satā
hai, dasa rote hai`.
I saw a very strange picture of the world; one was smiling (laughing) and
ten were crying.
In this wonderful creation of the Lord; one was smiling while ten were
crying.

1. Hame` ha`sate mukhaṛe chaara mile (2); dukhiyāre chehare hazāra
mile.
Yahā` sukha se sau gunī pīr dekhī ; ika ha`satā hai, dasa rote hai
Hamne jaga ki ajaba tasvīra dekhī; ika ha`satā hai, dasa rote hai`.
I met few (four) smiling (laughing) faces; but thousands of sad faces.
Here pain exceeded joy (by) a hundred fold; one was smiling while ten were
crying.

2. Do ek sukhī yahā` lākho` me` (2); ā`sū hai karoṛo` ā`kho`
me`.
Hamne gina gina hara taqdīra dekhī ; ika ha`satā hai, dasa rote hai`.
Hamne jaga ki ajaba tasvīra dekhī ; ika ha`satā hai, dasa rote hai`.
In a hundred thousand, two were happy; ten million had tears in their eyes.
I counted the destinies (fates, fortunes) I saw; one was smiling while
ten were crying.

3. Kuchha bol Prabhu ye kyā māyā (2); terā khel samajha me` na āyā.
Hamne dekhe mehala (mahal) ve (va) kutīra dekhī ; ika ha`satā hai,
dasa rote hai`.
Hamne jaga ki ajaba tasvīra dekhī; ika ha`satā hai, dasa rote hai`.
Tell me Lord, what kind of illusion is this; I do not understand your game
(creation).
I saw (the contrast between) the palaces and the huts (many live in abject
poverty
while only a few are affluent); one was smiling while ten were crying.

Very very true. Beautiful lyrics full of nothing but truth." ik hasta hai
dus rotay hain". Very sad but a fact of life.

This is a song which proves that good lyrics are always remembered no
matter who performs true words even today

hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi ek hansta hai dus rote hai yeh (prabhu ki
adbhut) - 2 jaagir dekhi ek hansta hai dus rote hai hamen hanste mukhade
chaar mile - 2 dujhiyaare chehare hazaar mile yahaa sukh se sau guni peer
dekhi ek hansta hai dus rote hai hamne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi ek hansta
hai dus rote hai do ek sukhi yahaan laakhon mein - 2 aansu hai karodon
aankhon mein hamne gin gin har taqdeer dekhi ek hansta hai dus rote hai
