आओ तुम्हे एक नयी बात बताऊँ मैं
Come, let me tell you something new
साज़ बजाये मौसम और गीत सुनाऊं मैं
Playing the instrument, I'll make you listen to the weather and song
धरती भीगे बाहों में बादल के
The earth with damp arms, clouds above
पत्ते गाये रस्ते में पीपल के
Leaves singing on the way, that of the peepal tree
पंछी भँवरे तितली और हवाएं
Birds, bees, butterflies, and winds
अपनी अपनी धुन में सब गाए
All singing in their own melody
इनको सुर इनको ताल(सुर,ताल)
These have their own pitch and rhythm
इनको गीत किसने सिखाये(गीत)
Who taught them the song?
बात बताऊँ मैं
Let me tell you something
गिरती उठती दिल में जो लहरें हैं
The waves that rise and fall in the heart
इन में ही तो गीतों के ढेरे हैं
These are the piles of songs
आगे पीछे जितना यह जीवन है
Whatever of life is forward and backward
मेरी तेरी साँसों का आँगन है
It is the courtyard of your and my breaths
रोज़ ही सुबह नयी राह नयी सूरज दिखाई
Every morning, a new path, a new sun appears
हम्म हम्म हम्म
