kahate hai gyani dekh le
duniyan banai ram ne
lekin yahan har aadmi
bhukha pada hai gaav mein
bhukha pada hai gaav mein
jine ki musibat hai nahi
marne ka kitana malal hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
nila nila hai ye tamasha
dharti par chhaya hai fuhasa
kya isi fuhase ke andar
hum dukhiyon ka bhagvan hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai

hai sabase iski dhun nyari
cham cham chamke lakho tare
ek din gar din mein dekho to
taro ki gali sunsan hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
bhagvan bhi kyun ruthe hai yahan
tu duniyan banakar chhupa kahan
tu chhupa kahan
jab se din raat bane tab se
tujhe dhundh raha insan hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai

kahate hai tu rakhvala hai
tu sabaki takat vala hai
rakhvala hai
kya diya bujhane ke hi liye
chalta tera tufan hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai
dhundhla dhundhla aasman hai

The wise say, behold,
The world Ram has wrought,
But here, each soul, it's told,
Starves in the village, caught.
Starves in the village, caught.

The living, a burden it seems,
The dying, a sorrow profound,
The sky, veiled in fading gleams,
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.

A blue, hollow play, this is,
Upon the earth, a misty haze,
And in this blurring abyss,
Is God of the suffering, in this maze?
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.

Each star, a celestial tune,
Each star, a radiant gleam,
If day's light arrives too soon,
The star-streets, a forgotten dream.
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.

Why does God now hide in shame?
You built the world, where do you hide?
Where do you hide?
Since day and night, the same,
Man seeks your face, far and wide.
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.

They say you are the guardian's care,
Possessing all-encompassing might,
The guardian there.
Is your storm only meant to share
A dying flame, a fading light?
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.
The sky, veiled, without sound.
