sune dharti, gagan, paatal
meri vinti sakega nahi taal
meri sakshi ka aaya hai sawal
tujhe chalna padega gopal
sune dharti, gagan, paatal
meri vinti sakega nahi taal
meri sakshi ka aaya hai sawal
tujhe chalna padega gopal

sun re kanhaiya sabki naiya
aaj padi majhdhar me
sun re kanhaiya sabki naiya
aaj padi majhdhar me
apna mandir chhod ke chal
insano ke darbar me
o waha jhuth ne chali hai aisi chal
tujhe chalna padega gopal

aankho dekhi bat agar
tu jag ko na batlayega
aankho dekhi bat agar
tu jag ko na batlayega
agar pada mai jhutha to
tu bhi jhutha kahlayega
o aaj laaj tu hi apni sambhal
tujhe chalna padega gopal

aisi ghadi me tu jo agar na
aaya mere kam re
phir teri meri tutegi
kabhi na lunga naam re

meri laaj ka daman tune
aaj liya na tham re
mera to kuch na bigdega
tu hoga badnam re

chal dene gawahi gopal
aaj mandir se lunga nikal
chal dene gawahi gopal
aaj mandir se lunga nikal
tujhe chalna padega gopal
tujhe chalna padega gopal
tujhe chalna padega gopal

Empty earth, sky, and underworld,
My plea you cannot leave unheard.
My witness called, a question hurled,
You must walk this path, O Gopal.

Listen, Kanha, to all their boats,
Tossed now in the perilous shoals.
Listen, Kanha, to all their boats,
Tossed now in the perilous shoals.
Leave your temple, come with haste,
To the court of humankind's waste.
Oh, there falsehood weaves its snare,
You must walk this path, Gopal, there.

If what you see with open eyes,
You do not tell beneath these skies,
If I am deemed a liar then,
You too will be, again and again.
Oh, defend your honor now,
You must walk this path, somehow.

In this hour, if you should not,
Come to my aid, as I have sought...
Then, our bond will surely break,
Your name, I'll never again take.

The cloth of my shame, you did not hold,
In your hands, a story to be told.
My own will not be lost, it is true,
But you will be shamed, for me and you.

Go forth, give witness, Gopal,
From the temple, I will call.
Go forth, give witness, Gopal,
From the temple, I will call.
You must walk this path, Gopal,
You must walk this path, Gopal,
You must walk this path, Gopal.
