o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai
o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai
aashao ki duniya me hai kyun aag lagai
o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai

kya unch-nich tere yahan par bhi bhagwan
aisa nahi to kyun hai ye sansar me tufan
kya unch-nich tere yahan par bhi bhagwan
aisa nahi to kyun hai ye sansar me tufan
pine ko hai taiyar lahu bhai ka bhai
o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai

duniya ke bhed-bhav ko bhagwan mita de
bhagwan mita de
bichade huo ko phir se ek bar mila de
ek bar mila de
gopal mere gopal mere
gopal mere qaid se de-de tu rihai
aashao ki duniya me hai kyun ag lagai
o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai

nirdhan ko ye dhanwan samajhte nahi insan
maya ke pujari bane khud baithe hai bhagwan
insaf na karna tha to kyun duniya basai
insaf na karna tha to kyun duniya basai
o krishn kanhai krishn kanhai
aashao ki duniya me hai kyun ag lagai
o krishn kanhai o krishn kanhai

O Krishna, Krishna, O Krishna, my heart cries out,
Why in the world of hopes, did you ignite the doubt?
O Krishna, Krishna, O Krishna, my heart cries out.

Do high and low exist, even in your domain, Lord?
If not, why then does this world brew such a tempest, abhorred?
Do high and low exist, even in your domain, Lord?
If not, why then does brother thirst for brother’s gore?
O Krishna, Krishna, O Krishna, my heart cries out.

Erase the world’s divisions, Lord, with your divine hand.
Reunite the broken, let them once more understand.
My shepherd, my shepherd, Gopal, hear my plea,
Release me, from this prison, set my spirit free.
Why in the world of hopes, did you ignite the doubt?
O Krishna, Krishna, O Krishna, my heart cries out.

The wealthy scorn the poor, no humanity they impart,
Priests of illusion, they sit as gods apart.
If justice was not your intent, why create this art?
If justice was not your intent, why create this art?
O Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, my heart cries out.
Why in the world of hopes, did you ignite the doubt?
O Krishna, Krishna, O Krishna, my heart cries out.
