Hamne jag kee ajab tasveer dekhi
Ek hàsta hai das rote hai
Ye prabhu kee adbhut
Prabhu kee adbhut jageer dekhi, Ek hàsta hai…
Hame hàste mukhṛe char mile
Dukhiyaare chehre hazaar mile
Yahaa sukh se so guṇee peer dekhi
Ek hansta hai das rote hai
Do ek sukhee yahaa laakho mè
Aàsoo hai karoḍo aankhò ke
Hamne gin gin har taqdeer dekhi, Ek hàsta hai…
Kuch bol prabhu ye kyaa maayaa
Tera khel samajh me naa aayaa
Hamne dekhe mahal be kutir dekhi, Ek hàsta hai…
I saw a very strange picture of God’s stupendous creation. In this picture, one person was smiling, and ten were crying.
In this picture, pain exceeded joy beyond reckoning there were few smiling faces but thousands of sad faces.
We counted the fortunes of millions of people. We saw a few happy, while tens of thousands had tears in their eyes.
Tell me, God, what Maayaa is this? Is this Delusion or Reality? I fail to understand Your Drama in which one can see the horrendous contrast between palaces and huts, between affluence and poverty.
Singer: Kavi Pradeep ; Movie: Shankar Seeta Ansuya (1965)
