raat chaandni chhai hui hai
chamak raha hai tara
thandi thandi ye purvaayi
socho kisne banaya ho
tum hi ho pehle, tum hi ho aakhir
tum hi se saara jahan
tum hi se maa baap
tum hi se bachpan
tum hi se sama

ped parinde paani ka jharna
tum se chaman ka mahakna
neele neele phulo mein bhawro
ka hai yahin gungunana ho
tum hi se shabnam
tum hi se khushboo
tum hi se hai ye bahar
tum hi se jhonke mast hawa ke
tum hi se fiza

dono jahan ka tu hai ujala rab
tune hai humko paala
tera hai ambar, teri hai dharti
tera hai ye jag saara oh
tum hi se badal
tum hi se saawan
tum hi se hai ye ghata
tum hi se bijli
tum hi se toofan
tum hi se khumaar

The moon, a silver sheet, unfurled,
And stars, a scattered, shimmering world.
A breeze, so cool, a whispered sigh,
Who fashioned this, beneath the sky?

You are the first, the final shore,
From you, all worlds forevermore.
From you, the parents, love's embrace,
From you, the dawn of childhood's grace.
From you, this vibrant, painted scene.

The trees, the birds, the waters gleam,
From you, the gardens' sweet perfume,
The humming bees in blooms of blue,
Their song, a prayer, forever true.
From you, the dew, the fragrant bloom,
From you, this springtime's sweet perfume.
From you, the wind's invigorating kiss,
From you, the air, in perfect bliss.

You are the light of both worlds' gleam,
By you, we're nurtured, in a dream.
The heavens yours, the earth below,
The whole wide world, your radiant glow.
From you, the clouds, the summer rain,
From you, the storm, the sun's domain.
From you, the lightning's sudden spark,
From you, the storm, and shadows dark.
From you, the rapture and the mark.
