maati ke khwab saare maati ke ang
paani ke sang bahe jeevan ke rang
maaya hai jeet saari maaya hai ye jang
aakhri manzil sabhi ki
maati ka palang, maati ka palang
maati ka palang, maati ka palang

sau sau ke paale the samay ki patri se utar jaaye
nabzo ke galiyare tukdo me bikhre saare
maati ka makan to hai kachha sa
dhul me milega katra katra
ittraye raahi kaahe tu kaisa ghamand

reete kaaya dhalti chhaya aisa niyam
jaate huyi thi boli kati patang
aakhri manzil sabhi ki
maati ka palang, maati ka palang
maati ka palang, maati ka palang

Dreams of earth, limbs of the dust,
With water's dance, life's colors adjust.
Illusion's victory, illusion's fight,
The final resting, in earthy night,
On earth's embrace, the earthy bed,
On earth's embrace, where all are led.

A hundred winters, time's tracks undone,
Through veins' pathways, fragments run.
The earthen house, so frail and slight,
Will mingle with dust, in fading light.
Why boast, traveler, with pride so bold?
The emptied form, a story told.
The falling kite, its whisper low,
The final resting, where all must go,
On earth's embrace, the earthy bed,
On earth's embrace, where all are led.
