dekho hari mandal ko dekho kya shikha jivan se isne
dekho hari mandal ko dekho kya shikha jivan se isne
ye jivan kabhi dup se chaanv mang raha hai
yamraj se sahi jivan ki biksha mang rha hai
dekho hari mandal ko dekho kya shikha jivan se isne
dekho hari mandal ko dekho kya shikha jivan se isne

reng raha hai ek admuha kira kaise chanv nahi paa sakta
patjhar me kisi bhi pedh tale patjhar me kisi bhi pedh tale
aaram nahi aa sakta
dekho hari mandal ko dekho sikha jivan se isne

himmt kho gayi lut gaye shakti na pahchani apni hasti
koun thikana kya sathan dharti garje gagan saman
dekho hari mandal ko dekho kya shikha jivan se isne

Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts,
Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts,
A madman pleads for shade from the sun's harsh blaze,
Begging life itself from the reaper's gaze.
Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts,
Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts.

A half-dead worm crawls, forever denied rest,
Beneath any tree in autumn's fading breath,
No respite found, no solace to be blessed.
Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts.

Courage departs, strength is lost, identity astray,
Lost to the winds, the earth trembles, skies decay.
Where to belong? What place to claim?
Behold the circle of green, what lessons it imparts.
