bahta paani chalti havaayen
chamke suraj raat suhaye
gaate panchhi khilte paudhe
jhume badal mast fijaaye
kyu behte hai kyu chalte
kyu behte hai kyu chalte
kyu khilte hai aur gate hai
ye jindagi dene vaala kaun hai
ha kaun hain iska palan haar
narayan ke vardhahastar se
chalta jaye ye sansaar
narayan ke vardhahastar se
chalta jaye ye sansaar

par is prkirit dhara ko kisi vikarti ne lalkara
par is prkirit dhara ko kisi vikarti ne lalkara
dharam ka suraj laga dubne
ghir aaya jab andhiyara
tab tab shivsagar se uthkar
karne shrishti ka uddhar
tab tab shivsagar se uthkar
karne shrishti ka uddhar
shri vishnu ne yugo yugo se liya hai
ha liya hai dharti par avtar
dashavtar dashavtar dashavtar
dashavtar dashavtar dashavtar
dashavtar

Flowing water, the wandering breeze,
Sun ablaze, sweet nights appease.
Singing birds and blossoms bright,
Clouds that dance in pure delight.
Why does it flow? Why does it roam?
Why does it bloom, find its home?
Who gives life, this grand design?
Ah, who is the guardian divine?
From Narayana's hand of grace,
The cosmos moves in time and space.
From Narayana's hand of grace,
The cosmos moves in time and space.

Yet this natural, flowing stream,
Was challenged by a twisted dream.
When dharma's sun began to set,
And darkness gathered, filled with fret.
Then, rising from Shiva's sea,
To save creation, wild and free,
Then, rising from Shiva's sea,
To save creation, wild and free,
Lord Vishnu, through ages long,
Took birth, where he belongs.
Ten avatars, ten to see,
Ten avatars, eternally.
Ten avatars.
