ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare
bolo bolo humare
nahi uske jiske hum sab ko banaya hai
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare
sadiyo se ghume hai kisko ye dhundhe hai
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare

nadiya ki dhara ye badale kinara ye
tham nahi paye kyun bahti hi jaye kyun
kaha se aati hai kaha ko jati hai
kisne pukara hai kiska ishara hai
ghume jamin aur aasman
man se mile jane kaha
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare
sadiyo se ghume hai kisko ye dhundhe hai
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare

jiwan khilona hai kitna shalona hai
sukh dukh se aansu ka har pirona hai
isi khilone se khel rachana hai
kya leke aaye the kya leke jana hai
badal kahe jis ko yaha
jalte dilo ka hai ye dhua
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare
sadiyo se ghume hai kisko ye dhundhe hai
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare
ye suraj ye chanda ye tare
bolo chalte hai kis ke sahare

The sun, the moon, the stars above,
Tell me, by whose grace do they move?
Speak, tell me, oh tell me true,
Not by the one who fashioned us anew.
The sun, the moon, the stars so bright,
Tell me, sustained by what guiding light?
For ages they wander, searching far,
The sun, the moon, the searching star.
Tell me, sustained by what guiding star?

The river's flow, that shifts the shore,
Why does it never cease to pour?
Where does it rise, and where does it wend?
Whose voice did call, whose will transcend?
The earth and sky in constant quest,
Where will the heart find its blessed rest?
The sun, the moon, the starlight gleam,
Tell me, sustained by what guiding dream?
For ages they wander, searching far,
The sun, the moon, the searching star.
Tell me, sustained by what guiding star?

This life, a toy, so lovely and fine,
A garland of tears, both yours and mine,
From joy and sorrow, a woven thread,
With this toy of fate, our lives are bred.
What did we bring, and what shall we take?
The clouds whisper, for whose sake?
The smoke that rises from hearts ablaze,
The sun, the moon, in endless maze.
Tell me, sustained by what guiding ways?
For ages they wander, searching far,
The sun, the moon, the searching star.
Tell me, sustained by what guiding star?
The sun, the moon, the stars above,
Tell me, by whose grace do they move?
