bhagwan tumne kya kiya
ye kaun sa badla liya
jisko diya tumne janam
uska hi jiwan le liya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya

mana ke tera ab jag sara
chanda suraj se ujiyara
mana ke tera ab jag sara
chanda suraj se ujiyara
par jise tumhi ne bujha diya
tere hi ghar ka tha diya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya

tum khel maran ka yu khelo
jab umar dhale tab tan lelo
tum khel maran ka yu khelo
jab umar dhale tab tan lelo
par bhole nath kaha tumne
ek bhola bachpan le liya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya

kahte hai tum rakhwale ho
kyu mangu dene wale ho
kahte hai tum rakhwale ho
kyu mangu dene wale ho
par sada charan jo dhoti rahi
us nari se dhan le liya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya
ye kaun sa badla liya
jisko diya tumne janam
uska hi jiwan le liya
bhagwan tumne kya kiya

God, what have you wrought?
What vengeance have you sought?
The life you gave, you then erased,
The breath of being you uprooted.
God, what have you wrought?

Though the world now shines so bright,
With moon and sun in endless light,
Though the world now shines so bright,
With moon and sun in endless light,
The flame you quenched, your own hearth's gleam,
A lamp within your sacred dream.
God, what have you wrought?

You play the game of death's decree,
When age descends, then take the plea,
You play the game of death's decree,
When age descends, then take the plea,
But, oh, Lord, you took so soon,
A child's pure, innocent noon.
God, what have you wrought?

They say you are the guardian's grace,
Why then, from whom I sought embrace?
They say you are the guardian's grace,
Why then, from whom I sought embrace?
From the woman whose feet you washed to pray,
Her worldly riches, you took away.
God, what have you wrought?
God, what have you wrought?
What vengeance have you sought?
The life you gave, you then erased,
The breath of being you uprooted.
God, what have you wrought?
