awal allah noor upaya, kudrat ke sab bande
ek noor te sab jag upjeya
ek noor te sab jag upjeya
kaun bhale ko mande, kaun bhale ko mande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande

ye pattiyan ugte hue zaat na dekhe
rang na badle dharam ko leke
is se kuch toh seekhe, chal chai peete hai
na koi right na koi wrong, bas insaniyat apni kaum
yo tohseef tejas tom, chal chai peete hain
ye zingadi hai sidhi sidhe simple iske funde
galatfehmi me kyun jeeni, chal chai peete hain
arey sabka ek cup, ek hi chamach se dudh
sabki ek jaisi cheeni, chal chai peete hai
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande

ek hi maati se usne to aadam zaat banayi
kisne yaha banye hindu, muslim, sikh, isai
ek hi maati se usne to aadam zaat banayi

oye tod de phera deen dharam da
oye tod de phera deen dharam da
khul jaye sab fande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande
sab rab de bande, sab rab de bande

From the First, God birthed the Light, all creation His decree,
From that One Light, the worlds arose,
Who is righteous, who is flawed, you see?
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.

The leaves unfurl, unburdened by caste,
They shift not hues based on creed's grasp.
From them, a lesson, let's sip our tea, at last.
No right, no wrong, just humanity's embrace,
Tohseef, Tejas, Tom, let's share this space,
Life's simplicity, its fundamental grace.
Why live in delusion? Let's drink our tea,
One cup for all, one spoon the milk to free,
The sugar shared, for all to see.
Let's drink our tea.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.

From the same earth, He fashioned humankind,
Who then carved the lines of Hindu, Muslim, creed defined?
From the same earth, He fashioned humankind,
Who then carved the lines of Hindu, Muslim, creed defined?
Shatter the chains of faith and dogma's hold,
Shatter the chains of faith and dogma's hold,
Then the true understanding will unfold.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
All are God's children, eternally.
From the First, God birthed the Light.
