masum duaaye sun le
masum duaaye masum duaaye
masum duaaye sun le masum duaaye
ye to nanahe hath bata ab kisko bulaye
masum duaaye sun le
masum duaaye masum duaaye

apno se mukh moda tune
hath pakad ke chhoda tune
hanskar sabse khelne wale
kyu ye khilauna toda tune
kaisa hai insaaf tera kaha ki hai ye adaye
masum duaaye sun le masum duaaye

kaun sa hamne julm kiya hai
tera karm jo ruth gaya hai
phul ki raho mein angaaro pe
aur tu baitha dekh raha hai
chali kaisi hawaye
masum duaaye sun le masum duaaye

khud hi banana khud hi mitana
chhod ke apne prem purana
aas laga kar chhod diya hai
jaise baseri aur jamana
o malik bol kaha hai
teri rahamat kathaye teri rahmat kathaye
masum duaye sun le masum duaye

Hear the innocent prayers,
Hear the innocent prayers.
Hear the innocent prayers,
Whose name do these tiny hands now call?
Hear the innocent prayers.
Hear the innocent prayers.

From your own, you turned away,
Held the hand, then let it stray.
You, who laughed with every soul,
Why did you break this precious toy?
What justice is this, what cruel display?
Hear the innocent prayers.

What sin have we committed,
That your grace has been omitted?
From flowered paths to burning coals,
While you sit watching, stories told.
What winds of sorrow now hold sway?
Hear the innocent prayers.

To create, to then erase,
Leaving love's familiar space.
Hope held out, then cast aside,
Like a dream where moments hide.
O Master, speak, where is your way?
Your mercy's tales, your mercy's tales.
Hear the innocent prayers.
